Drat, I forgot about that. Well, that blows a hole in the side of the idea, unless we're willing to accept that that's a commonly believed fact or developed prior to the recent Allagan revelations. On the one hand, the devs have done this before (the naming conventions were something of a retcon themselves, as 1.0 players will tell you, and some of the "unreliable narration" smells of retcons), but the on the other, I don't want to second-guess the lore as written.
XIV: It's Not Fantasy, It's Post-Apocalyptic Superhero Sci-Fi. I'm surely not the only person who's noticed genre similarities between XIV and Numenera, for instance?
That doesn't mean it's true.Â
Perhaps the moonkeeper lore is the same way? Just because they believe it's that old doesn't mean it's true.
I agree.
And there may be a history that no one remembers or that there's little evidence for. If there was a civilization hundreds of thousands or millions of years before, there'd be next to no sign of it.
