By coincidence, the question of what happens to the converts among the clans, is one of the questions in 'The Coming Storm' project that I am working on (set amidst the Cinsina and particularly the Red Cow clan after the Dragonrise). There are differing opinions within the clan and the tribe as to how such converts should be treated: are they still kin, can we just exile them, should we take vengeance for acts of collaboration during the war, should they pay compensation, how do we win them back to the Storm? In addition the fate of people like Jomes Hostralos, a fellow enemy of the Telmori, but also a Lunar remains uncertain. Do we fight to regain those lands, and risk weakening the wall of spears against the Telmori? At the period in question (1626) a lot of people are aware that Starbrow previously led a rebellion that kicked the Lunars out of the lands around Jonstown (1613), but that the Lunars returned. With forces massing in Tarsh, those who see  revenge are only too aware that they might find themselves on the losing side in turn, if the Phargentites manage to reconquer Sartar.

I am not choosing to give the answers to this question, I think that those are for the players to try and influence or decide, though some of the scenarios will give ideas as to how some of the converts might be won back.

It's useful for me to see this discussion, because I am sure that the Heortlings have as many opinions as you do, and its great to see some of those I have thought about emerging here, and to see others that I had not considered and perhaps should incorporate.
