Humakt

(who-MAKT)

God of Death and War


Humakt is the god of death and war. Some say he is Death, the unyielding fate of all living creatures, both mortal and divine. In any case, all know that it was Humakt's sword that first brought the new power Death into the world when Orlanth used it to slay Yelm, plunging the world into the Great Darkness. Humakt, sometimes called the Silent God, is feared by all, except (perhaps) his worshippers.

Humakti temples sometimes also serve as mercenary hiring halls. He is primarily worshipped by professional warriors and soldiers. His initiates recieve gifts which increase their combat-effectiveness, but often take away from other areas of their lives.

Humakt is depicted either as an ornate sword, sometimes made from exotic materials, or as a burly armed and armored man bearing a sword.

Humakt, never overly-popular in Perelandra, has been slowly gaining new converts as the war with the Orcs continues.

Initiates

Initiates must have at least some skill with a sword. They also swear to never use the spell Dullblade.

Swords of Humakt

Rune Lords of the Humakti religion are known as Swords of Humakt. They must be masters with Sword Attack and Parry, and other fighting-related skills. Humakt gives his followers combat-, honor-, and death-oriented Divine Magics.

The Humakti religion is structured differently than many others, as it has no Priests as such. Instead, the Rune Lords of the cult provide a sort of joint leadership for the cult's members.
