>BTW What do people think the Humakt cult's take is on suicide?

I'd have thought that simply killing yourself would often be seen as an abuse of death. Getting yourself killed in an honourable way, however, would be praised even if it was tantamount to suicide. Suicide rather than dishonour might be acceptable - but only if there is no honourable alternative. YGMV
