Lunar should be interpreted as Lunarized Orlanthi. The chief difference is they worship the Seven Mothers instead of Orlanth.

Mostly correct. Some deities are being grafted such as Gorgorma and Bisos to replace Maran Gor and Urox respectively but they have yet to take root IMO.

Ernalda is the most popular, partly because of a tie-in with Lunar mythology. Other gods include the usual suspects: Barntar, Heler, Eurmal, Lhankor Mhy, Issaries etc. Elmali have been converted to Yelmalions, the first and most successful example of Lunar religious engineering.

The Exiles' religion is dominated by the worship of Maran Gor and some are so zealous that they reject the plow and herd.

The FHQ is not associated with Maran Gor. She does have some relationship to the Kerofini temple but there is another Feathered Queen there (as well as a Maran Gor Queen). Evidence for the two queens may be seen in that both Tarkalor and Moirades claim to be KoDP at the same time by having married the Queens.
