No.  Humakt is Death in the Orlanthi mythos and the Monomyth.  In
other mythologies and worldviews, Death appears differently.  The
Kralori equate Death with Utuma, the Malkioni consider Death
to be something that Vadel brought back with him in his explorations
of Pamaltela and the Doraddi believe Death is the Trickster.  There's
no clear statement of what the Praxians conceive Death as being.
but they blame its arrival on Chaos.

Probably before as Issaries claims to have witnessed it (Cults
Compendium p143).
