Since apparently the old civilization worshipped the Outsider publicly, I could buy that the Year 0 was started by perhaps the opposing of the Outsider and the growing strength of the Abbey (or a similar preceeding Order)

So perhaps by year 800, around the time the old civilization fell, the Abbey was quite strong and actually manipulated/orchestrated the fall of that Outsider-worshipping civilization from the shadows. As Lunar proposed, perhaps the Gristolian Empire/Kingdom began somewhere else on Gristol, and it's entirely possible that there were more than one nation per island in the past, and not always so neat and nice as it is now that 1 island = 1 nation.

Perhaps the Northern Gristolian Kingdom, and in the south there was the Holy Outsider Empire :))
