'Aldryami Settlers from Shadows Dance started the Garden in
the days of Pavis' greatness. It was initially a collection
of exotic plants and elven treehouses on Green Hill. When
the nomads broke the walls and invaded, the Aldryami reacted
by accellerating their growing program. At first, the nomads
sacked the north side of the rive and left the elves and their
kin alone. By the time they turned their attention to the
people of the trees, the entire south and east corner of the
city was overgrown, and greenery extended for a kilometre in
some directions. It was too late - the elves had built an
almost impregnable stronghold.'

The next paragraph has the trolls invading and reducing the Garden to its current extent.

The only known source on Adari is ToTRM#3 which has an article by O.T.P.K Dickison. The description is incongrous with Pavis's stated origins such as if his mother was a dryad than why was he living in a troll town? Hence I think Adari was grander in the old days before Waha sacked it.
Information on the EWF is scattered. The largest bits are in King of Sartar (because Argrath tries to revive the magic of the EWF) and the first book of the Genertela Boxed Set. Even those books are not comprehensive for they omit mention of the change from the EWF to the Third Council in 826 ST (although this may be the same thing as the Here-and-nows taking over from the Forward faction mentioned in Ingolf's Saga).
The other major sources are Griffin Mountain, the River of Cradles and the Fortunate Succession. However the combined information about the EWF these sources give is only two or three pages worth. This just goes to show how little we know about the EWF.

It's the same as the Bleak Shore in ToTRM#14. It's a horrible marsh and full of mosquitoes, sandflies and blackflies, all of which carry loathsome icky diseases. Nomads hate the place but the moisture-loving morokanth and rhino tribes are sometimes found there. It's difficult to get to from the wastelands as one has to traverse a huge cliff.

Or perhaps Koronius was bed-ridden and senile making the heir Gharan the effective high priest of Etyries.
