Hey just re-found this topic, but don't think I can read all of the posts since last time I checked :/
About the morytania and senliten, she has resources enough to know about the current name of the regions to make it understandable to the player. She has one golem at her tomb I think, as well as the constant contact with Leela; and finally might have contact with the explorers of the outside.
About third age and the Song Before the War, I think you are cutting important part of the quote:
Original message details are unavailable.
"You should be glad your village is in Saradomin's territory. Do you know the Army of Zamorak's recruitment tactics?"
Mazakon's authority made Tasgall sound like a child arguing with his elders. "Kidnapping, torture and brainwashing, I know. I am grateful to the Army of Saradomin, but..."
"But you think you know better than the Icyene High Command how to use the army's resources?"
"I didn't say that," Tasgall said, defeated. But then he blurted: "But what good does sending whole villages to the Front do? The lines haven't moved since I fought there."
"This is why there are no humans in the High Command," Mazakon said sternly. "You don't live long enough to see the whole picture. The Front has moved twenty kilometres south in the last hundred years. Zamorak sends powerful demons to raze every settlement they can reach. If we stop pushing back, Uzer itself could be in danger.
I take it as saradomin troops are getting desperate due to zamorak's forces gainign terrain, meaning they are pushing from north; and Mazakon fears soon they can push further south to reach Uzer. Remember where the Abbey is, it is the place where the saint icyene humangirl died.
Uzer is further south, a saradominist base. North is zamorakian, and if you take it from the map at the Abbey, it is indeed what we know now as Morytania. Don't forget how the Barrows Brothers attacked the lands from enemy hands, being hold off at the gates of the capital city.
