Don't blame the Lunars!

And I find it's far more fun to get the players/readers into the mental trap of blaming a Lunar conspiracy for everything, and then hit them with something for which someone else is to blame. The next clan, a Chaos plot (non-Lunar), some weird abberant cult, plain bad luck, the other next clan, someone within their own clan... If you can end up with them and the local friendly (yes, really) Lunars cooperating to solve the problem, that's even more fun!

Sure, the Lunars are good, they're organised, and they're far more efficient than the Sartarites at just about everything. But they're not omnipotent. There's plenty of other Bad Stuff out there. Plenty of people have agendas and Cunning Plans besides them, and most of those agendas *aren't* "get rid of the Lunars".
