ha! right, so then we could say the connection of Menphina and twin moons is only as old as Dalamund. Maybe Menphina herself is only that old (her story that is..in the game...not in RL...ugh). Doesn't that one Tome say its a compilation of texts? Which would mean they werent all from the same time.

(an aside note: Yaeko Sato said, when asked which came first the story or the world, she said that world was already built and she wrote the story around it. Doesn't explain anything but helps us see the context the writer was in. Fits my "arbitrarily connecting the dots" scenario from above)
