Slight correction: Zas does get mentioned a little bit, though not with regard to his status or whereabouts following the separation of the swords at the end of SCIII. We know he was involved in the events of SCIV, of course, but what became of him then goes unsaid.
Abyss isn't mentioned at all, though.
Since Night Terror apparently exists, perhaps the circumstances of its creation played out at some point -- either without Zasalamel's death if it happened at the Lost Cathedral, or with his death if it happened inside the Astral Chaos atop the Tower of Remembrance. The latter possibility may explain why Zas isn't around for SCVI and why Night Terror was wandering about the Astral Chaos?
As for whose ending was canon -- well, I'd have to say no one's. lol Maybe @DanteSC3 has picked up on something I missed, but there was basically nothing from any of the endings that fits what went down at the Lost Cathedral.
The swords were separated by Zasalamel; Nightmare and Siegfried fought; the Lost Cathedral was decimated; Algol absorbed power from their clash, then raised his Tower of Remembrance -- and that's pretty much it.
The closest to being canon for any of them, I suppose, is Tira's (where she kidnaps Pyrrha), but even that doesn't happen precisely the same way.
