EWF are Orlanthi

The recent duck-debate has caused a bit of cunning Orlanthi Third Age
propaganda to resurface. Without taking an opinion on the origin of the
durulz (although I have talked to David Dunham about the G-Con V theory
and I do find it persuasive), I cannot allow this to pass in good
conscious:

> the EWF if I remember correctly was a Yelmite culture if not Yelm
>worshipers, so once freed they would not be in a hurry to go back to
the >ways of a dimly remembered culture similar to their tourturers,
diluted by >whatever the constructs added.

I hate to say this but the EWF was largely a Heortling Orlanthi creation
- - and not a Dara Happan cultural creation at all! The Third Age
Heortlings refuse to acknowledge their old cult of Orlanth Dragonfriend
(sometimes called Orlanth the Dragon) - just as they try to blame
Nysalor on the Dara Happans.

The EWF is also known as the Third Council - yet another indication of
the problems those Heortlings cause when they relax their local
bickering and unify to some extent.
