Are there any unified M&M story theories that can explain everything?

    I was thinking the ancient humans created Varn and Xeen to study the effects of magic on social development, while founding a colony on Enroth. Then later, Kreegans attacked and killed/drove off all the ancient humans while (apparently) the Kreegans overlooked Enroth for about 1200 years. The heavenly forge was presumably a factory space station that crashed.

    However, this doesn't explain the medieval weapons that were created by the ancients (does a space marine really need a jeweled dagger?), or why the Lincoln looks like a proper spaceship while the tomb of varn does not. Also doesn't explain why the Kreegans seem to have defeated the ancient humans while they can be beaten by humans with medieval technology. Perhaps their space ships are a lot better than their hand to hand fighting skills? If so then why not bomb from orbit? And why does Enroth's Control Center seem high-tech, but the city above it shows none of this? Was there some cover-up campaign by someone?

    Moreover the cosmology seems to conflict. We have elemental and non-elemental planes (from mm8), we have non-spherical planets (presumably explainable as man-made), as well as a normal spherical planet (enroth).
