Get _Elder Secrets_ from Avalon Hill.

Get _Glorantha: The World_ from Avalon Hill. Folks, if nobody buys this stuff, AH won't have any motivation to publish more.
No, by the way. There's Elamle, where men are friendly to and subject to elves.

This, too, is in _Glorantha_. They're like the Brithini except that their Noble class was exterminated, and without their restraint the Wizard and other classes are even less bound by morals than the Brithini. Their great enemy is/was Zzabur. (Secret: Zzabur's "Blue Book", which Snodal peeked at, is blue because it's bound in the skin of a blue Vadeli.)

I had a lot fun playing a Lunar once. Backgrounds would largely
depend on what kind of campaign you like to run -- for instance,
you could use the Dorastor campaign pack quite easily, or Sun
County, but they'd need totally different characters to make sense.
The question about players confuses me: are there really so many
RQ players near you that you get to pick which ones play in your
game?
The thing to remember about "Lunars" is that only a fraction of
them are actually dedicated to Lunar ways, religions, and
practices. Most people living in the Lunar Empire remain loyal to
their traditional gods and nation, and superimpose a token Lunar
worship and rulership on top of it. Thus "Lunars" could include
Yelm worshippers from Dara Happa, Orlanthi from Tarsh, Malkioni
from Carmania, and so on.
