Disaster at the end of the First Age

[Asha'man Shar'aman - Member]

I think RJ said at one point that there was a massive disaster at the end of the First Age, but I can’t find where he said that. Does anybody else remember this/know where I can find it or am I misremembering? Thanks.

Only thing I remember is that the One Power was discovered in the First Age, but I can't find anything on it right now.

Thanks, SD. At least I know that idea has some basis in reality.

What happened in the second age don’t the books take place in the third age?

They do. The Second Age is the Age of Legends. The First Age is most likely our Age.

Despite this being a work of fiction, I always liked thinking of the 3rd Age as downstream from us.

 

It's fun to pretend. 😁

Considering I say Gawyn as Gwayn, I have to agree. Pretending is fun.
