A possibility, though: The Humakti are relatively less fertile. The women of the clan, on the other hand, are especially devoted to life/fertility goddesses (not a bad idea near the Marsh), and are relatively *more* fertile. This tends to balance.

Also, yes, I think a lot of Humakti from other clans probably show up there. Heck, Humakti from the Holy Country and Prax might show up, too. After all, Delecti is one of the major Undead Bastards of the Northern World--I wouldn't be surprised if Humakti from all over the place felt a divine call to go help fight him. (...which, if true, would make the Greydoggers seem that much weirder to the rest of Sartar...)

Just a thought...
