Humakt is the god of death and war. He is the unyielding fate of all living creatures, both mortal and divine. To his followers, Humakt is a frightening but necessary agent of eternal change who can be used in a courageous and noble way to preserve the world. To others he is the merciless doom of all mortals. His temples sometimes also serve as mercenary hiring halls. He is primarily worshiped by professional warriors and soldiers.
