Delecti generally keeps a low profile. He is ultra-conservative in nature and seldom, if ever wants to draw attention to himself. He certainly doesn't want to spur any crusades against him. Historically speaking, he has only expanded the Marsh at rare intervals, with many years of inactivity between. The rituals and heroquests he uses take detailed, intricate and lengthy preparations. He does not seem time as an enemy any more, so why rush. Many of his more recent incursions against his neighbors have been by honoring alliance committments, like the attack on Runegate, etc.
As for the Greydogs, I've never seen them as
mainly Humakti centerist. True, the Greydog have
a founder that was a great Humakti hero, and
many greydogs have skills that are useful for
fighting undead and coping with the Marsh, but
that's not the same as having half the tribe
striving to become death lords. Who's going
to do the plowing, brewing, sheperding, cattle
tending, weaving, harvesting, etc.?
If nothing else, most of the players in the
Greydog games I played in weren't Humakti.
There was a general atmosphere that joining
Humakt was OK, but a decision seen as disappointing
to many of that person's family, and often
discouraged.
(mama's don't let your babies grow up to be Humakti.)
Happy Holidays,
Rick
