At least in your Glorantha, they don't. I have a feeling that they look back fondly on *any* time that they were strong after the Lunars start invading (let alone after they take over), especially in the city/trade related parts of society (ducks, traders, universities, regimental Humakti, etc). Certainly Argrath couldn't use EWF magics without *someone* giving him backup, implying that some of the hostility that you claim had died away.

Actually, it looks more like an indication of the problems that occur when Heortlings and Dara Happans get together. The EWF was going along fine, until it annexed the Dara Happans. Next thing you know, the dragons decide that their powers are being misused and stage their own "Night of the Long Knives". Likewise, the World Council was going along fine until they join up with the Dara Happan Empire. Next thing you know, the Council breaks into civil war over the God Project, and recreates a Chaos God to "heal" the world.
Clearly, DH magics or social views are poison to Orlanthi society, which otherwise CAN unify without problems. Argrath shouldn't have bothered vivisecting the Red Moon, he should have staged a Final Solution to The Dara Happan Problem. :-)
