I'm speaking of the earlier centuries (7th or 8th) when the EWF started expanding. You are quite right to point out that ODT would have found fertile ground for their cause in Dragon Pass proper in the later centuries, and to rephrase I think their cells would be densest in South Peloria (mainly because the Last Chance revolt took place there circa 925 FWIW).

It said they 'eventually' found 'intercult unity in a secret organization called the Old Day Traditionalists.' We don't know when the 'eventually' was but my guess is that many of the conservatives fled to South Peloria and formed emirge communities. When the EWF expanded a few centuries later, the leaders in South Peloria would have fallen from power and thus made common cause with the Dragon Pass emirges.
Some conservatives could have emigrated to Kethaela but it's a whole new ballgame with the OOO and the God Learners struggling for supremacy. I don't think that people would care too much about the evils of dragon worship and the conservatives might even find themselves lynched as God Learner symps...
