I'm not sure where you're seeing a plot hole.

From the time the Everfall is opened at Grigori's death until the new Seneschal dies, there is indeed no Dragon for an Arisen to slay, but at the same time, the world is falling apart and the Everfall itself has birthed monsters all over the land. The new Seneschal's self-inflicted death erases the existence of the open Everfall, reinstates Grigori and establishes the player's Arisen (or someone else) as Seneschal in the place of the old one. The only thing that changes from one of these re-set cycles to the next is the identity of the soul acting as Seneschal.

I feel sorry for Grigori, who seeks release and will never get it. Only the Seneschal's soul can leave the Eternal Wheel; everyone else is reincarnated where they left off... and a few of them, like Grigori and the Dragonforged, are punished spectacularly and eternally for failing at their duty as Arisen. Even the Duke is punished-- he is doomed to repeat his long life without his Lenore for eternity.
