Sounds very much like something the ancient Allagans would've done, or well actually did do. The region of Mor Dhona was at the heart of the Allagan Empire, favoring the land for its infinite power and aether. In their civilization's prime, they constructed a gigantic crystal tower to collect sun rays (and eventually energy from Dalamud) and conduct it throughout the world as a source of free-energy for all their peoples. Eventually that same tower would bring about ancient Allag's demise and shake the very foundations of the world, burying that civilization beneath malms of rock. This brought on the 4th Umbral Era, and it has been about 5,000 years since Allag's fall.
So far as we know, not many people have taken to living in the Mor Dhona region since the Allagans but it's entirely possible that some ancient civilization would spring up there. But given how the whole awakening during the Calamity thing falls perfectly in line with the Crystal Tower lore and storyline, it would be a good fit, I think. Up to you though! ^^
