It's kind of along the lines of Robin Hood and King Arthur in my mind. Obviously at least elements of both are unlikely to have happened (especially King Arthur), however, there is the possibility that both are based off real people who actually lived at one point. The thing is, if they are, the evidence is from so long ago that we cannot prove it didn't (barring an impossible find of someone claiming to have made up the story and actually written this down and I'm not sure how prevelant that was back then as I think these were handed down via word of mouth for a long time) and it's highly unlikely we can prove that it (or any part of it) did.

So I think the events of the trilogy are what actually happened in that time period and there are pieces of that in the TV series, maybe even large chunks, but it's a long enough span of time that for most people (Olivia knows who her ancestors were and I think a lot of Cordonians know those stories are true) they have passed into myth and legend, but they are in fact based on true (within universe of course) stories.

Also I really want a person with the mark of the Blackspine Mountain fire tribe to show up in a modern day story even if we never see them use fire magic.
