What lore do you ignore?

[Iscah]

The mention of the 8UE timeline above reminds me that it is a thing that I am ignoring/internally rewriting, though perhaps not in the same direction as Vyreus is thinking of.

I'm fine with the time loop and one half of the scenario – Black Rose killing masses of people and dooming the world to a slow death by stasis – but the "eternal age of war" half makes no sense to me. There shouldn't be enough survivors to maintain it.

Also, if it could be fixed as easily as the Unpromised Future side story claims, they never should have been meddling with timelines in the first place, and instead putting all that energy and resources into fixing up their own world. It also cheapens G'raha's efforts and his mourning for those people he left behind.

In my take, so long as no future plot depends on contrary details, they are genuinely doomed and their world is simply falling silent and they are making one last gasp before unpreventable death claims them all. I would probably also cast it as a shorter-term event, not one that can be survived for generations.
