For what it is worth, it was not uncommon for a conquering people to allow the conquered to keep their traditional law, while implementing a new law code for the new rulers (OK, most often this was in postroman  kingdoms, where the existing law was comprehensive, and in general it is the inverse of the situation in Sartar.....I could see this being more likely later in the hero wars in areas Argath has taken from teh lunars. But it is certainly possible that the lunars are doing this too).
