Some Storm Bulls I know believe that the "evil which has befallen" the Quivini tribes (i.e. the Lunar conquest of Sartar) is a result of their "deviating from Orlanth's laws" by accepting some lily-livered peacemaker as hereditary King of a grand pan-tribal Confederation, building Cities and Roads, encouraging Trade and Peace and the Rule of Law, and other such un-Orlanthi violations.
Wanting the Lunars out doesn't necessarily make you pro-Sartarite!
Generic observation: I *like* being able to accuse anyone who changes any hoary old Orlanthi Tradition of being "un-Orlanthi", because it muddies the waters when people point the finger of blame (uniquely) at my beloved Lunars.
("You call *us* 'un-Orlanthi'? And you a worshipper of 'Orlanth Rex', to boot! Next thing, you'll be telling us you use cats to herd your sheep!")
