The White Bear Empire is really a lot of Rathori fighting rather than an actual empire. Normally Rathori sleep all winter but a few may worship the White Bear to remain awake. So when you see sources speaking of the White Bear Empire, what is really happening was a whole lot of Rathori just fought during the winter with fatal consequences for their enemies.

The foes of the White Bear warriors weren't lunars - rather they were the Carmanians oppressing the lunar refugees and other people in the area.
