It feels like too much of a coincidence that multiple major threats that the planet has ever seen come from there. There has to be something there, something big, because there's no way that it's mere coincidence that 4 Elder Primals came from there. As for the New World...Blue Magic looks an awful lot like creation magic considering you're casting spells that mortals shouldn't be able to do out of nothing.
Mayhap Meracydia was the original location of Aumarot, and thus Ground Zero for the Sundering, Leading to the continent being the best possible place to revive Zodiark?
