One of my earliest memories of things Greg Stafford said at conventions is: "yeah, sure we all know Humakti can't be brought back, but then there are ways around *everything*."
I think the statement "Humakti can't be resurrected" comes from the old days of the Resurrection rune spell. I've always believed that you could bring one back via heroquesting.
