I'm currently playing an Orlanthi from Aggar. I gave him an Orlanthi name
(Agharl) derived from King of Sartar, forgetting that Glorantha: Genertela
has a couple of Aggari names. However, both are Lunar! It strikes me this
is quite like the Celts; after they were defeated by the Romans, the
nobility adopted Roman names and otherwise Romanized themselves. I presume
in Aggar something similar is going on. The nobles would probably have the
most to gain by going Lunar (well, at least they get to stay nobles), while
I feel the lower-status Aggari would stick to Orlanthi ways (what's the
benefit to changing?).
Of course, another possibility is that the nobility are imported, but Jomes "Wulf" Hostralus seems like a native Aggari to me.

Sounds reasonable; from what I know about Praxian culture, there would also be Love Family, probably at the standard 15 (since clans aren't descent groups).

True, but it can make it easier to describe them.
