Something else of note; I don't think Fernehalwes (aka Koji Fox) was explicit that it was solely the Mhachi that survived the flood (or I misread.) There's also a bunch of speculation that the new 24man raid looks a lot like the interior of the Lost City. While it's doubtful it IS of Amdapori origin, it's fun to speculate. If it IS, however then they would have had ways to escape the flood.
But with Ferne's vagueness on who survived the flood beyond the obvious Nymians (at least the ones who were Tonberry'd and lost their rancor,) it gives way for who else could have in that time.
Also, to note, it wasn't until 3.0 that the mysterious third nation for the War of the Magi was known. The Scholar questline actually talked about how the Nymians were cursed and who did it. The Black Mage questline references the War of the Magi in the 56 quest I think it was.
Zhai'a Nelhah: "Fighting destructive power with more destructive power... It's such thinking that led to the War of the Magi. I'm sure I needn't remind you of the outcome of that war."
Lalai: "The War of the Magi... I suppose I cannot blame him for seeing the parallels. A war between forces commanding unimaginably destructive magical power. But black magic is not purely to blame. It was the violent confluence of black and white magic that ultimately led to disaster."
Bit off the subject of the Amdapori people, but it does relate to them.
