Maybe the engwithan empire just crumbled & collapsed like any empire due to overextension? Quite simple and unepic, but also presumable after the loss of tens of thousands (or even more) of people to create the gods and afterwards their efforts to spread their faith across Eora to other Kith.

That's them, I was just surprised that there was nothing about it in the ending slides. I had expected the nice choice of helping them to have resulted in a new Vithraki kingdom starting up in Gilded Vale or something.
Was quite "disappointed" with those missing information about the Vithraki decisions myself. On the other hand i'd guess that the Vithraki realm(s) are just too far below the surface to have any (bigger) impact on kith. There may be a few of them crawling the surface, but overall they seem to keep for themselve. They aren't some creatures from the Underdark...
That's why i supported them in every quest or didn't attack them without any need.

I went with Hylea for the first playthrough. Seemed to be the right choice for a "nice guy hero", but wasn't disinclined to Galawain too.
Didn't speak a word to Berath since he wants to have those high-priests "returned to the cycle" and i didn't like his (and his priests) attitude/ideals. Woedica/Skaen and Ryrmrgand were out of question and Wael was just to late to change my choice.

Since i finished the game today i wonder about one point in the conclusion and lore (major spoiler following):
After the engwithan created the gods, referring to Iovara their missionaries started to spread the pantheon among people. But referring to Update #57 their advancements were just focused on soul manipulation, mathematics and architecture while their knowledge were lacking progress in other areas (esp. metallurgy and "any other fields"). How did they manage to spread the pantheon of the gods to the present-day colonial nation's ancestors (Old Vailia and esp. Aedyr Empire) without the necessary technology to cross the high seas (like the aedyre carracks)?
They didn't just take a blind shot, went westwards and were lucky enough to survive, right?
Well, maybe i'm just questioning the lore too much...

The Vailian Republics are just another (former) colony like Dyrwood. Even Old Vailia (which is located far to the south) didn't exist during the Engwithan Empire and is located several thousand miles southwest of the Eastern Reach, probably on the same "old world continent" like Aedyr.
As far as i can tell (referring to Kana), they had contact to cultures in the Rauatai Gulf which they influenced. And it's safe to assume they also had contact to other "neighbouring" cultures (on the same continent), e.g. the Ixamitl plains.
