In the current EQ timeline, Frogloks came to power creating the Great city of Gukta. The same would hold true in the current state of affairs as Froglok factions hold down positions on multiple continents.
The froglok's hold a highly defensible stronghold of Guk (with a bit of inner warring with the undead). And over in Kunark, they have another highly defensible fort in Old Sebilis with fragments of troops scattered throughout Kunark. They are all powerful Warriors, Shamans, Clerics & Wizards. They have leaders and elders. They have powerful weapons, armor & accessories. They wield great spells such as Ice Comet & Envenomed Bolt.
My money's on Froglok's through the following maneuvers:
Kunark dominance through:
1) Call to arms to Swamp of No Hope & Old Sebilis armies (pull the goalie so to speak)
2) launch assault on West and East Cabilis War on two fronts and squeeze em out. Cabilis with it's multiple entrances (including Veksar port) would be a cinch.
3) With Iksar's erradicated, the knock out Firiona Vie and the Overthere Outpost with ease (I mean look at how defensible and well armed these are?!)
Antonica Domination Plan:
1) Squash inner turmoil with undead Frogloks (unless an alliance can be reached. basically surrender or die by fire)
2) Grobb would be easily overran by sheer numbers
3) Oggok would face the same fate as Grobb.
4) With these difficult armies squashed, you have now carved a foothold in Antonica. Time to import some army. Through carrier, establish communication with Kunark outposts. Have the Overtehere Outpost send reinforcements (remember, Frogloks procreate quickly!)
5) Combine forces at Oasis and begin the march on East Freeport (Objective #1 to lock down port to Butcherblock, an important part of launching the Faydwer assault)
6) Leave behind a small squadron to lock down EC tunnel to prevent being blindsided.
7) After tactically smashing the Humans of Freeport, they would storm westward decimating all opponents in its path. The biggest challenge being the Men of the North. Frogloks are not fans of cold and can weaken them! This would be a tough portion of the journey.
8) Once Antonica and Kunark are held down, the would take a med break and have some R&R before that launch the assault on Odus & Faydwer. But that's a story for another day...

This was very interesting. I especially liked the point of frogloks having a higher reproductive rate. You make a very good case for frogloks to be in the running. However, I think you are overestimating their influence on Kunark. The frogloks of Kunark are scattered and weak. The only formidable froglok would be Ulump Pujluk, but the multiple iksar guild masters would wipe the floor with him
