Savan didn't kill Grigori. Grigori was an arisen who was defeated by Savan and thus turned into his dragon servant, as are all Arisen who lose to the Seneschel.

When Savan defeated his dragon (whoever that dragon was), Gransys probably DID start looking how it does in post-game. But then Savan went on to defeat the Seneschel, became the new Seneschel, and no doubt used his power to repair Gransys.

Furthermore, Savan could have been seneschel for thousands, hundreds of thousands, perhaps even millions of years before an Arisen with enough will to dethrone him (you) appeared. During this time many dragons would have been sent out to create Arisen, and many Arisen would have either failed to defeat their dragon, or defeated their dragon, fucked up the world, gone on to face Savan, and then lost (which is what happened to Grigori. He talks about it a little in your battle with him). Presumably when an Arisen defeats their dragon, but fails to defeat the Seneschel, the Seneschel resets the world and uses the freshly defeated Arisen as the new dragon.
