Lunar worshippers account for only a fraction of the populace, so I 
guess whom they worshipped before is whom they mostly worship now.

My interpretation, perhaps faulty, of the evidence is that only 
descendants of the 100 sestakar worship Lendarsh. Lendarsh seems to be a 
peaceful god.

The Carmanian Pantheon description in ILH-1 has Bisos the Hazar for foot 
soldiers, with a Knight keyword; note that Aronius also gives the Knight 
keyword. I guess that Bisos the Hazar is the Carmanian cavalry god, but 
is being displaced by Aronius (especially among the wealthier and better 
connected cavalry knights?).
