Well, I think that there is mythic precedent for Ernaldans and Orlanthi making the best leaders - although, as I have said repeatedly, perhaps we should ponder shuffling some of the Dar Allfather feats into Lead Clan; however, surely magic like "Make Clan Ring" more properly belongs in some aspect of Ernalda, if we are thinking back to mythic sources?
Concerning Humakti I expect that such leaders are members of the military leadership sub/hero cult (I forget which precisely) and are excellent at militarising and controlling the warband - but totally offend the carls, the women, and basically anyone who isn't a death-loving semi-psychopath. The most interesting question here, I think, is who makes a Humakti their leader, and -why-? (I assume that 'social leader' is meant here, as opposed to mercenary warband type leader... otherwise I suppose the answer is pretty clear).
