I won't fault your analysis, it's just that I think the Geases don't fit the Thanatari very well. While the rejection of Heortling ways _works_ as a guide to what a Thanatari might consider to be good or evil (and to a lesser extent the Orlanthi headhunters), geases seem rather alien tool in enforcing Thanatari mores.
