Thank you that's very, very interesting. So some time in the past they had advanced technology, but somehow it was lost. Maybe some kind of disaster happened, or maybe considering Elder Dragons and such, maybe some kind of gigantic ultra-powerful monster destroyed them.

Its also interesting that there are areas with no monsters at all, considering how widespread Rathalos are.
