    For more than a decade (our time), the New World has been this far away, mysterious, nearly unknown place that could only be reached by a weeks-long journey across a treacherous, mostly uncharted sea. Imagine my surprise when Koana is able to send an envoy to Radz-at-Han (an island on the wrong side of Eorzea from Tural), negotiate and sign a trade/mutual defense pact, and get Vrtra to show up with all his homies that we've never known to be on the island in the nick of time, all in the span of, what, a couple of days?

    I'll bet a dollar to a donut that that UI element was part of a trading minigame that got scrapped at the eleventh hour.
    To be honest, this isn't completely unreasonable.

    - If Koana sent someone who is able to travel the Aetheryte network there is barely any travel time at all.
    - We know Dragons can fly pretty fast - and high. In fact Midgarsormr flew through space to get to the Source, so fair to assume Vrtra could've flown across from a very high altitude.
    - Vrtra owed us one after all that business in the 13th
