This gets to the heart of my question. Those three numbers add up to exactly 100%. This gave me the impression that those are three _seperate_ groups, begging the question, "Who are these 'Lunars'?" If, instead, the Lunar population overlaps with the other two, this begs, "What about the remaining non-Darjiini non-Dara Happan 8%?" My central question is, are there people who are just "Lunar," who have never belonged to any other cultural or ethnic group?

Thanks,
