Did they use to exist there? Was there any presence of these civilizations? Or were they non existent?

The answer is "maybe"
There is mention of some ancient kingdoms, but not names per se.
This is basically in keeping with the game motif of mystery and intrigue.
Thus it is possible that this Earth had its own versions of Atlantis, or Lemuria, or Nazca, or the like. Or it might not have. What we do know is that the timeline for the Nightlords is such that there had to have been some ahistorical civilization(s)... but we don't know what.

Nope, just that they existed and made a metric crap ton of Artifacts.
The people exploring it believe (on no firm evidence as far as I know) that it is Atlantis... but that is just their speculation. Apparently they have an entire ruined city full of magic items... and not one darn thing written down anywhere for them to do a language check with

Of course it's Atlantis! It's always Atlantis!
Them darn True Atlanteans get into *everything!*
If you want it to be Atlantis, you now have a perfect tie-in to all the Atlantean/Megaverse/Magic/Psi/Stuff you want to poach.

Again it has been a long time since I've read NB but if memory serves aren't the Nightlords older than Atlantis? Didn't they leave for the darklands before the dominance of Atlantis and it's disappearance?
