Elmal is not worshipped in Balazar because he is an Orlanthi God and the locals are Votanki. When Balazar colonized Votankiland, the EWF had been kicked out of Dara Happa for quite some time (about a century before). Hence the Yelmalions of Balazar are free of draconist heresy.
There might be another sort of "heresy" in Balazar. It's probably Rinliddi-inspired and might have something to do with the Giant Vrok that they fly (AR p33 connects them with the Goddess Meraran). There's also the detail that when Balazar left, a Rinliddi noble was on the imperial throne.
