Humakt isn't part of the Orlanth/Ernalda pantheon, he isn't even one of the Lightbringers. The confusion arises from the fact that the main published sources (Storm Tribe and King of Sartar) refer to Heortling Humakti and how they fit into that society. There have been references to Humakti in Carmenia and Ralios but what details exist are unofficial. Ralios has (I believe) an Orlanthi society abet different from Heortling but Carmenia is some combination of western monotheism and the Red Godess.
