Of course--to bring it back to the question that launched this--if the
king leans on the temple to pay wergild because a Humakti killed some punk who obviously had it coming, well, that could definitely fall into
the category of "putting them in a position where they would have to dishonor themselves"--that is, *would* have to, except they'd just tell
the king to piss up a rope.

So if an unsheathed Humakti kills your brother, don't expect the local
king to be any help at all--even (or especially) if he has a lot of pull with that Humakt temple. He'll just tell you "Oh, sure, his temple's five miles down the stream, look for the withered oak grove. Talk it over with *them*. Good luck."
