>(I may be confused, but the GRoY 56,88 is still worth checking out.)
The name is related to Doburdun, the Thunder God of Darsen. I would treat it as a subcult of Doburdon (teaching the affinity of Sword Combat) that could be picked up by Shargash, Orlanth or Vadrus.
>(Perhaps the Young God myth could be told/true about Humakt?)
The Dara Happans would have no problem in saying that the Young God gets defeated by Humakt.

Except that Humakt in Fronela predates Arkat.

The Loskalmi do, the Carmanians do not. I don't know the details why. Perhaps the Talorites were whole-hearted supporters of the Abiding Book?

Except that Arkat never met up with Talor until the very end (and relations soured shortly afterwards). There is a stronger connection with Harmast but since the latter never brought home any Malkioni cults, I'm dubious that Talor should import Humakt.
