True that. I think the fact that Carmanian Hum'akt as written doesn't have Honor as an affinity is something to base heresy on. For Orlanthi, that honor part is cruicial.

The whole Light vs Dark thing in Crmanian culture I've never gotten a handle on. At first I thought they were at war, The Good Light god vs the Bad Dark God, but then some things I read make me think that isn't so at all.

Personally, I don't see why torture would be unhumakti for humakti where honor wasn't important. Mind you, it does seem non-combat and they do seem to be more combat oriented. But there is the whole "you only see the true man when you lean him over the pit of death" philosphy, which I could see being humakti in a certain way.
