John - there is quite a lot written about this period. Start with the invaluable Glorious ReAscent of Yelm (aka GRoY) which is available in pdf form from DriveThruRPG for a mere $19.95. This is the cornerstone document in understanding Dara Happan mythology. The followup book is the Fortunate Succession of Yelm (aka FS) which is not yet available in pdf form.

Suffice it to say, the Dara Happans had a very very different experience from the Heortlings. They did not participate in IFWW at all.
