Thanks Zhoi for the reminder about the long lived Homins, I forgot about that.
Now THIS presents a very real possibility to let all three histories be accurate. It would still need some form of official stamp to become LORE but that's the case no matter what.
Consider this
After the Great Swarm, the first one, homins scattered across Atys. Three large groups formed far away from each other. These groups settled back into the old nations of Fyros, Matis, Tryker and Zoraï and lived out the three different histories we all know. This was something of a Kami/Karavan scheme to try and save at least one of the three groups but, to their surprise, all three grew and flourished.
The kitin, however, felt quite threatened by three large bodies of homins and so came about the Second Swarming. The kitin drove all three groups back together. Everyone brought their histories with them. Yrkanis that we remember becomes, City/Capital of the Matis. Mabreka Cho becomes simply the Great Sage. It's not perfect because homins are so long lived that Mabreka and other NPCs have been influencing all three histories and are still alive today. It does, however, give another possibility for how the three histories might be preserved.

Ever since then many of us have been trying hard to avoid mentioning too many details of our specific pasts or phrase it like "in older times/in our part of the world/in our city this and that happened". Using these terms most of us were able to get along quite well :)
