In the game I'm in, we are playing Lunar's. We had a mission to stop a "White Moon Now" conspiracy that sought to (at least as we saw it) pervert the White Moon by bringing it ahead of its time. While some of the major players were a heretical Lunar faction, the Orlanthi were also involved. So it might have some relevance to your situations (turned around, of course) and summaries of the sessions in the campaign were written and put up on... <http://www.orion-forever.com/firesword/campaign/campaign1/index.asp>

I don't know if it is complete, but it has most of them.

We had started to do a few Heroquests by then, but the denouement focused on taking the cite of the cermoney and, IIRC, conducting our own cermony while holding off a counter-attack.
