Jane,

ILH-1 is very much local and cultural, not Lunar-religious. There is virtually no information on Natha, Deezola, Jakaleel, let alone obscure aspects like Taraltara. There is lots of brief mentions of the various local War, Agricultural, etc. gods of the Pelendans, Carmanians, Kosstadi etc. and the relevant local traditions and cultures.

Sortof like a book on Catholicism that looked at every country or local area gave info like "in Buffalo NY, they worship the fish god and go to big fish-fries every Friday", "in Pamphlona Spain, one day a year they worship the bull god". Limited descriptions of the Vatican and Pope. And virtually no info about Jesus, Paul, or the Virgin Mary.

It's an excellent book, but might not be what you expect.
