    I don't think they even know there are other survivors of Mhach and Amdapor considering the lore so far always seem to imply that all Black Mages of Mhach were assumed wiped out and only a small group of the Padjal were survivors of Amdapor.
    The Padjal aren't survivors of Amdapor, the first one was born when the Gelmorians negotiated permission to settle in the Black Shroud, and I think the lore is that the Elementals thought White magic to the Padjals again.

    ^This, also Edwin, the Great Flood was not caused by Voidsent summoned by the Mhach, it was actually caused by the elementals in retaliation for the rampant abuse of magic (read: aetheric manipulation) that the War unleashed on the world - Void Ark was constructed after the Flood in order for the Mhach to escape from it (although they'd been preparing for it before hand after having premonitions of the flood).

    Either way, it was the elementals that caused the Flood as retribution on Nym, Amdapor and especially Mhach for the War of the Magi, and indirectly it seems that also is the cause of why the elementals are now so surly towards Spoken, forcing the Gelmorrans to live underground for centuries and driving the Ixal out of the forest, as immortal creatures of aether it's not exactly something they would easily forget or forgive in a hurry.
