The OP mentions the old empires having fallen and being replaced with the kingdoms of today. I took that to mean several empires, not one empire spanning across the entire continent and consisting of all of humanity. Chelodonia, for instance, is said to be "one of the successor states of the human empire that had ruled the southern portion of the continent". So, perhaps there was one great empire that held sway over all of the lands south of the southern mountain range, and others in other places.

This is the kind of stuff we could discuss in a Discord server. :P

True, and yes I agree.
