Ah shit, here we go again.
I believe that what led them to their forced dream (because they are not dead according to the good ending with the 100 children with Valrynn) were the Lurelings and then explained the reason for my suspicions.
The top of the food chain was always the Frostwyrms and the Lurelings, with the first over the last.
Given that Valrynn mentions that leaving the lair to hunt is a torture for her since she is not immune to the cold, as far from the coast as their lairs seemed to be and their large sizes, the Frostwyrm would prefer to hunt in the sea for its proximity and something big enough not to have to go back to the cold and although I have no doubt that there are other animals in the sea with those characteristics and even easier to hunt, the Lurelings were the main ones in their diet and therefore the lurelings had to think of a way to deal with them.
Having no way of physically ending them, they decided to keep them "hibernating" with their psionic powers, but being the most powerful Frostwyrms even in this area, the Lurelings needed to increase their numbers to keep the frostwyrms asleep, control their Marions and keep combat ability against the surface. I believe this since starting with the fact that the disappearance of the frostwyrms was what it looks like progressive, before the "star-borns" arrived, they were already what seems scarce, and for what it seems, completing their disappearance when they arrived . The plan of the Lurelings was going well, but 2 events made the plan accelerate greatly, making it appear that the most fearsome beasts in Uveto "died out" over two centuries (according to me), fast enough to give that touch of mystery but slow enough to make them legend for their few sightings.
Maybe what I need to explain would be Nykke, well she doesn't think it's a problem for the Lurelings, she seems to prefer to hunt on the surface despite the lack of the surprise factor in her scales.
well, it's all hehehe

- The "pact" between the Korgonne and the Milodan. - By no longer killing each other, these two races were able to prosper better in the harsh climate that reigns in Uveto and to the fortune of the Lureling, it gave a better environment for growth and reproduction of Marions and now those on the surface could lash out at the Frostwyrm without fear of being razed by their enemies while recovering from the battle.
- The arrival of the "Star-Borns" .- Although the Korgonne and Milodan fractured as soon as they received the foreigners, the Essyrra welcomed them and although they did not say they use the maximum possible technology, they did not refuse to trade with that which could keep them a little more comfortable (as can be seen in the inventory of Kazra and Lorre), this collaterally further increased the survival of the Marions, presumably necessary for Lureling reproduction.
