If you've got several Lunar converts in the same clan with different levels of involvement the PCs get to influence who gets treated how. Is the stickpicker who converted in return for a Teelo Norri food parcel to be treated differently to the thane's son who enthusiastically embraced the new religion and now regrets his involvement with the losing side. Of course to influence things the PCs have to justify their opinions.
This is going to be fun.
