Some time ago I had an idea on the full "different Humakts" thing (Heortling, Carmanian, some Dorastor broos, ...). The basic idea was that Humakt was a Great God just like Orlanth, Death impersonated, but that nobody was fully aware of that fact. Every culture adored only one aspect of the Great God, so there is the "Heortling" aspect, the "Carmanian" aspect, and even the "Chaotic" or "Broo" aspect. I think it makes a lot of sense.
