The Fourth Astral Era is famously bare of history, allegedly due to the anti-intellectualism after the fall of the Allagan Empire. I admit it would be a massive troll if the story does go there and have us "fix" history during that time, since as far as I can tell nothing interesting actually happened, other than the common Eorzean alphabet being standardized. (The Miqo'te migration happened afterwards, in the Fifth Umbral Era.)
