Most Carmanians are theists, too. The viziers and magi aren't, and they'll happily provide sorcerous blessings and spells for the lords and knights of Carmania. But those lords and knights are themselves likely to be theistic worshippers, as are the great masses of the Pelandan unwashed. (Apart from surviving Pelandan Logicians, Blue Sorcerers, Renegade Viziers, and the like).

It sounds like an unusual background, but not impossible, and if it works in your game, hey, go for it! Most Carmanian sorcerers are viziers, who act as "chaplains" to the noble houses.

Not yet defined, AFAIK. I understand the 2nd edition will clamp down hard on such things, which (if mishandled) could be rather disturbing to Carmanians, Henotheists, Aeolians and other long-established Gloranthan cultures with "mixed" magic.

I expect there to be plenty of material in the forthcoming Lunar Imperial Handbook, which is advertised as coming this Fall (whatever that means) on the Issaries, Inc. site. See http://www.issaries.com/products/1302.html for the product blurb.
