So they follow a death god. So what. Why should Heortlings fear someone just because they follow a death god? Death is not feared or considered repugnant by Heortlings in the same way that it is by western Europeans. One of Orlanth's key acts was a SLAYING. All Orlanthi bear weapons. Violence is always an option.

Humakt is part of the Heortling pantheon, and so must be as opposed to chaos as all other members of the pantheon.

It is a Heortling crime; a crime against *society*, not a cult. As Humakti are part of the same society, it is as much a crime for them.
