Tribal culture

I) Given that the Lunars have outlawed worshipping Orlanth (and, presumably, his sub-cults and hero-cults) have many Sartarites continue to worship him in secret? How feasible is this? If the ban is permanent which of the following will see a significant gain in 'market share'?

• Uninitiated males
• Persistant secretive Orlanth worship
• Increased membership of Yinkin, Urox, Odayla, Lhankor Mhy, Issaries, Humakt, Heler, Elmal, (etc.)
• Introduction of new (non-Lunar associated) gods
• Doburdun worship

II) The Torkani tribe is described* as being 'Darkness-worshipping' while the people in or around Far Point are 'Sun-worshippers'. What is meant by each term? Is it something a simple as replacing Elmal with Argan Argar and Yelmalio respectively or is there more to it than that?
(* Dragon Pass: A Gazatteer of Kerofinela, page 38 'Lizardwood Wilds')

III) Is there any canonical works describing Telmori or Poljoni society? I never know how to portray them but they're hard to avoid once the action starts to head into Eastern Satar.

Thanks,
