Heh, same here. I also had Cults of Terror, come to think of it. I never connected up the backstory in CoT with Dragon Pass, somehow, since that seemed so... so Beowulf. (College literature courses will do that to you ;-) ).

I didn't ever include any of them in my campaign, or much else in the DP game (except the gorgeous map). Eventually I started running more games in Balazar and Prax because they were described much better. (Add Borderlands, Pavis, and the Big Rubble to what was available, as well as Trollpack. I had pretty much all the official RQ 2 material plus whatever Judge's Guild put out.)
