None of those lands are within the Glowline. There is weak Orlanth worship within the Glowline.

Do they? He's intervening on the behalf of a prominent Lunar family which seems to suggest Lunars are still flavour of the month in Tarsh. Not to mention that Argrath's liberation is rather fleeting itself.
Secondly most of the provinces have been lunar-controlled when Tarsh was formed. Thus I'd expect it to the Lunar Way to be reasonably well-entrenched in those places.

Even the RQ supplements don't quite support this as any Lunar Sorcerers (there's two: one in Strangers in Prax and the other in Shadows on the Borderlands) are rather limp in the non-sorcery department.
Greg's writings (at the back of enclosure#1) seem to indicate the Lunars believe that sorcerers have no contact with their God. Likewise the Red Moon article in Tales #16 indicates the viewpoints (materialist, theist and mystic) are pretty much seperate.
