The 'gate mages' aren't actually named, they're just my attempt to give a term to the school we see in the Shadowbringers caster role quests; their whole thing is opening rifts (not necessarily to anywhere in particular, it seems), which even in that story ends up with someone dodging the entire Flood of Light by chance.

I do wonder if the original Pixies died then and new ones were born in what would be Il Mheg later on, if they managed to escape the Flood or something else happened...
They definitely existed before the Flood, but it's not especially clear where; that other forest comes up in Titania's history, but we don't really have any further details. The Pilgrim's Traverse at least gives some confirmation that they were around pre-Flood, but no real information on where; it's more focused on the 'why' and 'how', that just aren't really important right now. Suffice to say they are on the table for doing this, it's just not really clear where you'd have had to go to deal with Fairy Nonsense back then.
