Agreed.
Humakti (as he is legally dead) is outside normal Heortling society, but
that doesn't mean he can't reenter society, in a different role, just as a
stranger can be adopted into a clan. There is no one to back him until he
finds someone: he gets no legal protection from his family (though they may
still help him, if only because he still *looks* like their son [think of
Martin Laurie's story about the coming home of Onslaught]), but he might get
it from the chief, his lord.
