But we don't know much else. My personal theory is that the Miqo'te (who lived in Meracydia's northern desert region) fell first under Allag's decades of assault. While the dragons persisted in the mountainous southern reaches of Meracydia, holding out even after Bahamut was first slain by the Allagans, which, after the Resurrection of Xandes prompted Tiamat to summon Bahamut back as a primal at the Ascian behest. Only for the Ascians to have betrayed the Meracydians to the Allagans and taught the empire how to control eikons a la Summoner.
As for who all was at war with the Allagans? While we only know specifically of Meracydia being the Allagan's long-standing enemy, nearing the end of the empire's thousand-plus year reign their territories began rebelling against them.
Sounsyy proving mastery in lore here!
But yes. Though I speculate that if the Miqo'te did fight in that war, they would have had to be able to withstand Allag's war effort. We know that Allag tried the hardest it ever tried against Meracydia. The Miqo'te were probably the first to fall. I can't see them having the means to hold up against Allag at anything besides sabatoge or guerilla warfare. That giant object through the Cathedral. Gotta mention that again. I think that's a good representation of "where is your God now" lol.
Then you have the dragons. Which sounded like the last to hold out. So who was inbetween? City states? A single nation? The war lasted a hell of a long time. There had to be something. At least in my headcanon. Speculating on that is challenging. My headcanon leans towards them having enough tech and magic competance to fight Allag man to man in traditional warfare. And the only place to be able to do so.

The Warring Triad were the first Prinals (Eikons really) that the Allagans were ever able to bind after mastering the technology of permenant binding. Now they are utilized upon Azys Lla's flagship as a kind of trophy to showcase their power by reducing three immensely powerful Eikons into a decorational mountpeice.
The three statues are speculated to just be sculptures and the actual Eikons are bound inside of the flagship, but this is pure speculation. All that we know for now was that the Triad was Allag's first success at getting rid of the Primal threat.
