The Teshnan Fire-worshippers do use axes and the Orlanthi and Uroxi are also known to use axes. The latter use axes not because their god is married to an earth goddess but because an axe is cheaper (requiring less metal to make) and also has civilian uses. Besides not everybody wants to be a Wind Lord in life.

Sir Holbrun's Axe Brothers probably worship a spirit akin to Granite Phalanx in ToTRM#12. If they weren't lunar, they might have worshipped Palashee Longaxe...
