There are some articles on the web: Loren Miller's and David Dunham's homepages are good places to start looking. Alas the Search Engines for the digest archives are down and I don't know when they will be operational.
Definitive Printed Sources for the Lunar Empire:
The Lunar Wane Chronicles: These appeared in Wyrms Footprints and Heroes (some back issues of the latter may be available from Avalon Hill). They contain the history of the Lunar Empire upon the fifth wane.
The Fortunate Succession: A history of the Emperors of Dara Happa. As Moonson is the latest (the history was complied to glorify him), a lot of detail is given about the History of the Lunar Empire. Also includes other Emperor lists including that of the Bestial Carmanians.
Lunar Empire Writeup: From the Genertela boxed set. An almost comprehensive list of the myriad places within the Lunar Empire. The Basic framework of the Lunar Political Organisation is given here.
Seven Mothers Cult Writeup: from Cults of Prax (although an updated one will probably be seen in the next tales).
Real Deep Background Material:
The Glorious ReAscent of Yelm: Contains the Gods Age myths of the Dara Happan Empire of which the Lunar Empire is the latest mask and the Star Lore of Peloria (Celestial Objects are Important within the Lunar Empire).
Entekosiad: Background material behind the Goddess Entekos. This details the origin of 'new ways' behind the Lunar Empire.
Special Warning: These sources have significant bias.
Future Material:
Tales #16 is going to be a Lunar Special.
The Lunar Novel will contain details of the latest lunar philosopy formed during the Restoration Era (ie after Sheng had been dragged off to the pits of perdition and people had time to learn how to read again).
However if your friend could supply us with a bit more info about where within the Lunar Empire that he plans to set his campaign, more relevant information can be supplied.
