No. There may have been some historically but they would have been exterminated in Arkat's war.

Very few I imagine. No outsider distinguishes between them IMO and so since the Werewolfs have a survival advantage, the number of Pure ones remains small. IMO 10% is 'pure'.

Have you a copy of Different Worlds #24 (Dwarf Special)? Particular mention is made there about the sins of the Machine City, notably their BrandX swords with bladesharp 3 in the hilt.

If Orlanth particpated in the battle, then it is pretty safe to assume that the Orlanthi were heavily involved in the battle. Who do you think summoned him against Zistor?
The DW Dwarf special notes that the Dwarfs were involved although their presense was not noted until late in the war. Their traps infest much of the machine city.
If by the Yelmists, you mean the Dara Happans then they were not involved. They were still fighting the EWF and had only recently liberated Raibanth from the EWF.
However the Dragonewts and EWF look as though they might have been involved. The Dragonewts are one of the main elder races and the writings all mention that it looked as though the Unity of the Elder Races might be restored. We know that the EWF had access to inhuman troops such as the Dwarves of Greatway, the Uz of the Shadowlands and Dargori Inkarth and the Elves of Stinking Forest. Furthermore the Machine City is just south of the EWF Heartlands and I find it hard to believe that they weren't involved in the conflict. The absence of such mention of the EWF in the myths could merely mean that the descendants purged such mention when the EWF was overthrown.
>Or Waertagi?
The Waertagi didn't return until shortly before the Closing which is still 30 odd years in the future. Even then they were fleeing the Closing.
