Yes, the word "antediluvian" references a global Great Flood, which until the 19th century has been considered a real, or at least plausible event. In particular, the fossilised dinosaur bones were attributed to "antediluvian beasts", which supposedly had been exterminated by the Great Flood.
Therefore, while this word was totally suitable for Lovecraft (who wrote about ancient monsters inhabiting out Earth), I would avoid this word when writing about Wesnoth (which AFAIK has no Great Flood even as a myth).
