I find it a bit odd that not a single time anyone in Tural mentioned the Final Days. Considering we're talking about two entire continents here, I find it hightly unlikely that not a single area was visited by the Song of Oblivion.
The citizens of Mamool would have been prime candidates to become blasphemies, since they at the time were wallowing in despair. Then again, maybe the aether of the fallen meteors shielded the area, but the same can't be true of the entirety of the two continents.
I have asked myself the same question. It is as if it never happened.
It wasn't a global phenomenon to begin with, since, if you remember, we stopped it before it could be. To the people of Tural, it's not impossible that it really didn't happen at all, at least not in any meaningful way.
Final Days didn't hit everywhere and even if a person or two fell to despair and turned into monsters, Vipers probably killed them without even knowing what they were.
To quote Erenville, "The Final Days came and went."
One of the first quests tells us that Zoraal Ja was off killing a tural vidraal in Xak Tural during the tournament in Mamook - suspiciously around the time that the Final Days occurred. And in a region we barely explored, half of which we did got time shifted thirty years into the future and fused with another Shard location. Blasphemies were not rampant but localized events quickly dealt with, the red skies even rarer because we acted quickly to solve it in EW before it escalated into the planet-wide crisis. IF we ever learn about a blasphemy in Tural, which has no point or bearing on a future plot line, the seed is already set.
The Final Days weren't a 100% localized phenomenon, but the effects of Meteion's Song of Oblivion hit hardest where the atmospheric aether currents were weakest - in our time, only seriously affecting Thavnair (Radz-at-Han) and Garlemald, with isolated incidents of Blasphemies in other regions.
That Vipers may have been killing such monsters without even realizing what they actually were is entirely plausible, as is the Final Days simply not affecting Tural at all.
It'd still be nice to get a line dropped about an unusual spike in "monster activity" and how those the monsters that appeard during those days were looking completely different than the usual Vidraals, just for flavour. They could make it a side-quest, where you hunt down the last remaining blasphemy for exmaple.
