Padjal Naming Conventions?

[Sounsyy]

So I have a lore question about the Padjal that's been bugging me for a while and this seemed the best place to pose it.

So we know Elezen were the first race to migrate to Eorzea. They came from the north and inhabited the Twelveswood, underground in the city of Gelmorra. I've always associated Gelmorra and Padjal together because it wasn't until the Padjal learned to speak with the elementals that the inhabitants of Gelmorra were allowed to live above ground in the Twelveswood. Pact of Gelmorra I believe it was called.

In Fern's post it said to associate all things Padjal with something really old. But Fern said that Padjal are all Hyur. Hyur didn't migrate to Eorzea until c.572 of the Sixth Astral Era. In the grand scheme of the Eorzean timeline, 1000 years doesn't seem really old. I had always thought that the Pact of Gelmorra happened long before then.

So did Elezen live under the ground in Gelmorra until the Padjali Hyur came c.572? They couldn't have because the Order of the Twin Adder existed 1500 years ago during the sixth Umbral Era. And according to the Raven: Light of the Future article, conjury was created and refined as a way for the Gelmorrans to communicate with the Elementals. But according to the White Mage quest, White Mages existed in the Fifth Astral Era, long before the supposed advent of conjury according to this line of thought. So was there White Magic before there was Conjury?


So I guess the questions I have for Fernehalwes are:

When did the Elezen build Gelmorra?
If Elezen and Hyur get into territorial wars every time they come near each other, how did Hyur's become an intricate part of Gelmorran society?
How did the Hyur even find Gelmorra if it was underground in the middle of an angry, impassable forest?
When was the Pact of Gelmorra made?
When was Gridania founded?
Was the original Grand Company of the Twin Adder Gridanian or Gelmorran? Or is the Twin Adder a brand new company that did not exist back in the Sixth Umbral Era?


So either this is a major flaw in the Gridanian/Gelmorran lore or Gelmorra wasn't founded until circa the year 600 of the Sixth Astral Era and 1.0 players witnessed the birth of the Twin Adder Grand Company. Which would make Gridania/Gelmorra the youngest city-state in Eorzea. Which raises the question of where did the Elezen make their home before Gelmorra? And how did White Magic exist before and without Conjury?
