1. What is Archelund? The intro implies it's the name of the continent, but it's not called Archelund, it's Andoria. Did the name change in the meantime or what?
2. Time. The game is going on around 190 AE, as we can see by the tombs periods in the crypt (assuming it's After Empier; could be After Exodus, but then we're overshoting), but in ExK it's stated that the empier fell a century ago, and the intro states that the re-colonization began 100 years ago, so where did that decade go?

Archelund is the world, sort of. And it's not like places can't have two names.

Keep in mind Andoria was being settled way BEFORE the the Empire fell, so tombs in Andoria will be older than the fall of the Empire.

And its' not really an issue to refer to 110 years as a century ago. People don't speak in mathematical accurate measurements. (Least next time you need a minute, you say you need exactly 78 seconds),

And lastly, I'm pretty sure David The Developer has a friguld rum problem so his concept of time might be a little black-out-ish :)

Here's the Developer's time-line right here.

You are mistaken about the date, the game takes places in 219AE or beyond.
If you check the latest tombs (the one in the crypt at the entrance) you can see that it has the people who died from 208-220, and in there are plenty of graves that are from 219AE.
Which means that if people have died in 219AE, then the game itself must take place at that date or beyond.

You can find the roadmap for the expected release dates of the Archaelund updates and the 'full' release here in this steam post.
