> "After the War of the Gods, Brithos remained peaceful for a tie, but after the death of Malkion's first son, the King of the Brithini after Malkion's apotheosis, there arose a dispute concerning the crown. Zzabur demanded that he be crowned, despite the fact that the Sceptre of Kingship belonged by inheritance to Zzabur's nephew. There arose a short civil war in which the forces of Zzabur swept the field and nearly won. But the priests of Humakt called upon that god, their ancestor, and Humakt himself settled the dispute, saying that the young king, Elrtof Keytleson, was rightful king and Zzabur had no claim to the throne. Thus was established the custom of passing the kingship on to the eldest child, a standard kept good by the promise of Humakt. The god also commanded that no sorcerer of the race could ever hold the crown."
And just to make it more confusing, the god Humakt as described in these stories later got a name change - and became Orlanth.
