Yes, it happened before the LBQ and was for that reason the necessary ending or aftermath of the LBQ. But, as shown below, it was not the IFWW per se, that was the formative element.

I think every non-chaotic culture has a chaos-fighting myth wherein the world is defended or recreated, which i assumed the IFWW was. The IFWW-myth is obviously the Dragon Pass version of a more fundamental myth, or the way that myth is told in Dragon Pass, remembered in other ways elsewhere.
