Belah'dia was actually a 6th Astral Era civilization, so Qarn wasn't around during the 5th Astral Era. Belah'dia was, however, a nation formed by the descendants of the black mage civilization that existed during the 5th Astral Era. There's a tie there, but Belah'dia did not exist during the war of the magi. :>
Belah'dia was 6AE, yes. Qarn, however, is older.

That, however, did not deter Belah'dian sultans from each adding their own chambers to the original construct in a bid to achieve immortality through creation...
Sightseeing #61 Wrote:#61 - The Sunken Temple of Qarn
Most scholars of ancient Belah'dian civilization claim this twisting labyrinth of complex chambers to be a place of worship dedicated to the sun goddess, Azeyma. Recent diggings, however, have uncovered older chambers buried beneath the new containing relics not of the Sixth Astral Era, suggesting that the temple may have been built by a different people.
Belah'dia was built by the survivors of the 5th Umbral Calamity over the ruins of the civilization that existed in the 5th Astral Era to which the Temple of Qarn belonged according to Fernehalwes in today's lore panel. (Fernehalwes said he didn't know what the name of this 5AE nation was though.)
