Humakti featured quite a lot in certain parts of KoS (e.g. the house of Death). Maybe in the run up to the hero wars (or during any war) more people than usual turned to Humakt. With Lunar persecution of Orlanthi Humakt would also be a more popular religion for Sartarites (especially considering Humakti - Yanafal Tarnils 'rivalry'). It puzzled me too that Humakti were almost absent from the Risklands. Though they are unlikely to make good farmers, I would expect more Humakti than Uroxi (except in Prax). Of course it might make a good basis for a scenario/campaign to establish a Humakti shrine there ...
