Thank you! I'll post future bits as I complete them ("Sing, oh muse, of the wrath of Humakt...")

Absolutely. This is meant to be a story known to my players' clan in Sartar.

I liked "Humakt's Oath" but my picture of the Gloomy God was heavily shaped by a line (either from "Cults of Prax" or from the "Tales" write-up, I think) that said something to the effect that to Humakt, honor was "as the air." (a big deal for a young air god) I always took that to suggest that Humakt was associated with Truth and Honor even before he was associated with Death.
BTW: I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to everyone sick to death of Humakt posts for bringing this up again. I've got two Swords among my player heroes, so I'm afraid this is a subject I keep coming back to.
