Most Moderns are not Storm Worshippers. Traditional tribes are now rare in Pent which means that most of the 630,000 Solar Pentans (outnumbering the Storm Pentans at 230,000) are Moderns.

The rise of the Moderns with their cattle-herds came long before Kastok's invasion. Secondly Kastok's wrath fell primarily upon the Pure Horse Tribe and almost destroyed them. Other tribes (both traditional and modern) were much less affected by Kastok's invasion.

"Recently the Bronze-Sworded Prophet has arisen among us. He has persuaded the Four Winds to become part of Kargzant's Tribe. Many Tribes have thus worshipped the Four Winds and are preparing to invade Peloria to free Sheng Seleris." Glorantha: Intro p175

We do have something of their Point of View (although it's tainted by Plentonius). The following is about what happened to the Hyalorings during the Bridle Conjunction.
One Sacred Day, the sons of Vuranostum were summoned by Kargzant. The god needed his faithful followers to fight against monster gods which had escaped the Underworld. The sons of Vuranostum knew their duty and they went into the sky realm to help their god against their enemy. They fought against a great giant which destroyed armies with its shout, pierced a hundred with the tip of his spear, and slew ranks of heroes with his iron sword. Kargzant did not hesitate before a fight, and charged into the melee. But the giant cheated, and it tripped the horse god, and tied it with steel ropes, then licked a cruel bit into its mouth and a bridle upon its head. That way Kargzant was bound, and the horses of the world were trained, and the sons of Vuranostum and all the people of Kargzant were doomed to fall before the people of Oralanatus. After this, the movement of Kargzant in the Sky Realm was regular. [...]. GRAY p40
IMO the Pentans would remember the enemy they fought differently. A bull deity might be appropriate for most moderns while many tribes near Kralorela might remember fighting dragons.
>My another Problem is how I can explain about Wife of Sun, you know Dara
>Happans have Dendara, the Planet Goddess is his wife. Grazers know Ungariant
>a daughter of Orest is Wife of Yu-Kargzant.
Probably still La-Ungariant IMO.
