I have to disagree on this point.

Orlanth and Ernalda are the cultural framework for Orlanthi - they have the All-Father and All-Mother "normal" aspects, rulership aspects and "young persons" healer/adventurous aspects in addition to their elemental associations. An Orlanth or Ernalda "obsessive" is more likely to be a fully paid-up member of society than obsessed with ensuring that the winds blow correctly in Glorantha etc..

Humakt has only 1 aspect with its separation/death and honour associations. And by definition they are sociopaths - only with effort (the re-sheathing) can they partially re-integrate with society.

Charles
