Fazzur Wideread is a Tarshite, and so I would imagine that many of the lunar troops in sartar are Tarshite too. These poeple come from a similar culture, and speak a very similar language to the Sartarites. There may even be blood relatives on either side. City dwelling Sartarites in particular are likely to be far more cosmopolitan than their country cousins, and more appreciative of the benefits of trade, literacy, a money economy and the civilised comforts the Lunars can bring.
