Not 'if', but 'when'; as I understand it, one of the central features of the Hero Wars is that, sooner or later, everyone *must* gamble their culture against outsiders. If you don't even try, you'll be obliterated for sure.
Of course, it might be that, as the barriers between the Otherworlds begin to break down as the Hero Wars progress, people like the Esvulari will begin to lose their disadvantage. Maybe they get the chance to prove that actually, wizardry is the best way to worship Orlanth. Or maybe they don't; time will tell.
