One theory I have had is that Cinder may have once lived on that strip of green on the Black Dragon continent. We know from World of Remnant there were settlements there that apparently fell to the Grimm at some point. Given that continent is likely Salem's base and the most infested with Grimm, it may have been some sort of beachhead against the Grimm with multiple Kingdoms involved in its protection. My theory is that the Kingdoms abandoned these settlements or for some reason would not come to their aid, so they fell to the Grimm and that is when Salem met Cinder. Wait, I'm confused. Are you saying that Cinder's whole village was wiped out by a Grimm attack, and her response to this was to join forces with the leader of the Grimm?

Actually, thinking about it now, that makes perfect sense, considering that's exactly what Hazel's motivation was. "What's that?  My sister was killed by the Grimm?  Hold my beer while I go team up with the Grimm queen!  That's what my sister would have wanted!"
