Just a theory I read, felt like posting.
Pretty much all of Mhach's story went over how they went hard into contracting voidsent later in the War of the Magi; it's brought up in Black Mage and the actual Mhach alliance raids most prominently. It's where Diabolos is from. Out of all three sides of the War of the Magi, Amdapor is the one we know the least about, basically only knowing their defensive measures against Diabolos and a single Nymian spy. Yeah, they probably did do some big shit we weren't aware of, but the only thing that even comes close to being considered proof is that Kuribu, the final boss of the City of Amdapor hard, is mentioned in the Encyclopedia Eorzea to be 'based on a creature from another plane'. Again, that can't really be from the First (unless they had Sin Eaters before the Flood, which isn't too implausible), but they were an extant phenomena, observed through unknown means by perhaps the biggest enigma of a civilization in the game.
