What about Urnbudud? Isn't that The Sword in the stars [ie Humakt]?

(I may be confused, but the GRoY 56,88 is still worth checking out.) (Perhaps the Young God myth could be told/true about Humakt?)

Humakt's Lodge was quite far removed from Orlanth's Stead back then. That's the feel I get from the KoDP Sword Story for example.

It's the Vinkotling era when Humakt is amongst the orlanthi people. Possibly remedying the losses from the battle of Stormfall.

Storm Age, Humakt and Fronela sounds right.
