I certainly don't mean to imply that the EWF draconic methods shouldn't be on the discussion list. But, the connection to Kralorelan Darudism (for lack of a better word) is quite tenuous. Trying to draw conclusions on the one from the facts about the other is more likely to mislead than guide. What I suggest is to examine each from its own roots and then possibly make parallells.

Another thing to keep in mind in the rampaging debate on the Kralorelan emperors and dragons is that to the Kralorelans, dragonhood is a _spiritual_ state. The emperor could probably turn into a huge winged lizard if he wanted to, but that's _not_ what his being a dragon is about. If that's off the target, I trust the Kralorelan expert to correct the details.
