    So the moogles on the surface remembered this historical figure in a somewhat vague and haphazard way, they knew he was a monarch, that he pressured moogles to escape by using a 'golden beam/rope' transport them to the surface from a place high in the sky when an apocalyptic event occured, that he was attended by seven guards/retainers, and that he had 'Moggle' in his name, but that was all they knew, and after the 'Paragons' visited them, they pretty much filled in the blanks, resulting in King Moggle Mog the XIIth.

    Personally I think this was to finally put to rest the questions at the time still surrounding him about whether he was a 'Primal' or not, given he wasn't considered a god, which is what the meaning of Primal was meant to represent, but it did make it clear that his whole story was based on a real historical figure.

    And of course, we saw this idea further continued with Shiva's real history.
