Chalk it up to an incomplete storyline maybe? It seems to be the accepted story going forward anyway was that that took place during the 7th Umbral Era and everything prior to the original main storyline (Silvertear Falls, etc.)

Sorry for going off on a tangent.
All good --- pretty sure us Loremongers felt like SE may have just lumped the Paragons and Ascians together for a matter of convenience. Paragons would look like simply robed-Eorzean Mages, Wood Wailers wear masks after all, so they may have not felt threatened. However a 1.0 Ascian looked like a GrimReaper, that would scare anyone which made it entirely 'different.' Travanchet was referred to as an Ascian or at least in cahoots with them and he looked like an average Elezen, maybe he will return.

Edit: also wished SE would let the Lore forum have unlimited characters, hard to discuss things ;-;
