Yes, it happened before the LBQ and was for that reason the necessary
ending or aftermath of the LBQ. But, as shown below, it was not the IFWW
per se, that was the formative element.

I think every non-chaotic culture has a chaos-fighting myth wherein the
world is defended or recreated, which i assumed the IFWW was. The IFWW-myth
is obviously the Dragon Pass version of a more fundamental myth, or the way
that myth is told in Dragon Pass, remembered in other ways elsewhere.
