Maybe they don't like Lunars. Maybe they were hired as mercenaries (since the fight looked desperate). Maybe they just like fights, and randomly picked sides.

There's nothing wrong with running a game like this, but it differs from the way Glorantha is intended to work. In fact, most spirit magic is handy for household tasks (think how handy a temporary Glue spell would be to a crafter).
