well I'll use this oppertunity to say that I (IMOHO etc) do not think Humakt is "DEATH"!

He is the (Heortling) _giver of death_ (preferably at the end of a sword). I don't think he's got much to do with death by old age, sickness, suicide (of non-herioc sorts), falling over in the bath etc.

And after the actual dying bit is done with its got more to do with Ky Tora Tek and your own gods promised afterlife.

 And non Heortlings (not to mention non theist types) seem happy to carry on dying and being dead without Humakt...

:) just my 2p..
