The history stuff in River of Cradles speaks of the Kingdom of Dragon Pass being an organized entity engaged in open revolt against the Uz overlords. Remember Spoken Auld Wyrmish was introduced into Dragon Pass crica 573, *before* the eventual overthrow of the ruling Uz in the tax slaughter of 578.

Not quite. According to the Book 5 of the RQIII rules, the EWF was descended from the old Solar Theocracy which points to the origins of the EWF and the Kingdom of Dragon Pass as being based on the Sun Dome Temples (not the modern Yelmalio BTW). The cult of Orlanth Dragonfriend comes later after the establishment of the EWF and appears to have been a gesture for concilating the masses.
