It has been speculated that Pagan may in fact be the remains of The Lands of the Dark Unknown. The island in Pagan sort of resembles the Lands of the Dark Unknown. While there is no hard evidence to bear out this idea, it is known that the Zealans knew of other lands that disappeared at the time of the Guardian's invasion. It is assumed that they were swallowed up by Hydros, but it cannot be ruled out that the Guardian was able to enter Pagan at that time due to the massive cataclysms which separated the continents of old Sosaria, leaving Morgaelin stranded on a broken world, its people cut off from their former home.
