I would consider that more of an OOC issue, really. I'm gonna edit the original post to state the nation name rather than dwarves, because I find it a little strange to think that powerful nations have never even heard of each other before

Maybe you should reexamine the time skip. Millenia after the destruction of a universe and the serious damage of another, most nations will most likely have changed both in politics, appereance, doctrine, and name. Also, this part (which is still the beginning of th enew thread), those are the first steps of nations in outer space once more, which means that the only way for nations to know one another are through references on almost prehistoric (for the in-game era) pieces of mythology (coming from nation play on th eprevious parts of this RP) that seem to be more real than they should. New nations, on the other hand, have no way of knowing from before about any of the other nations, while other nations also have no way of already knowing about them.
