Wait was the jugdral stuff in the same world as awakening???

Technically yes! There's actually a fair bit of overlap between the first few games in the series, to the point where Archanea, Jugdral, and Valentia are canonically part of the same world. The biggest link between them is actually Naga herself: she's a key figure in the lore of Archanea and Valentia as the source of the Falchion blades, and in Jugdral she joined with eleven other dragons to offer a blood pact and a holy weapon to mankind in order to oppose the Loptyrian Empire. So knowing that they're all in the same world, and Awakening directly ties itself to Shadow Dragon with the provenance of Falchion as Marth's blade and the presence of Tiki as a recruitable character, Awakening effectively takes place ~3,000 years after the events of Genealogy.
