Re: thinking on the 4th-7th and 1st ages.... Kieran Send a noteboard - 22/04/2010 07:06:52 AM
I always thought at the end, it would click over to another age, and age without the knowledge of the One Power.


perhaps, the funeral bier indicates an Arthurian type ending. magic will retreat to the isle of Avalon, err Tar'Valon. where a 1/2 dead king will sleep until needed again. :p

on the other hand. i think that is basically the end of the first age. The end of the second age would be in our near future or Armageddon. By this thinking I doubt that it would happen the same. I think this age will end in an advancement in tech and the power, the reverse of the breaking where tech and the power were lost. The AoL was full of pride and arrogance, it could be seen that the DO was the manifestation of peoples festering "sin". whereas this age seems to be gearing toward fixing those failings. men and women working together and the DR breaking all people of their pride and bringing them into submission to the greater good. It seems more like the series is heading toward a massive revolutionary type climax.

I don't know that there could really be a first or last Age... Fanatic-Templar - 22/04/2010 07:48:11 AM 1038 Views
Yeah, it's the "third age"... DomA - 22/04/2010 02:13:56 PM 1029 Views
Difficult to see how you can refer to a billion people as a "fringe"... *NM* Shannow - 22/04/2010 05:02:08 PM 443 Views
You really think half of all christians believe that Earth is only 3000 years old? *NM* Japhy - 23/04/2010 12:35:01 AM 449 Views
Last I've heard, the majority of Christians weren't fundamentalists DomA - 23/04/2010 01:54:04 PM 878 Views
How about "living on the fringe of reality"? *NM* Marshall - 24/04/2010 10:21:17 PM 447 Views
That's not entirely right Etzel - 22/04/2010 03:54:23 PM 968 Views
I think FT is saying that human conceptions of time don't apply to eternity. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 22/04/2010 04:14:45 PM 875 Views
However, I think RJ definitely had an idea, what each Age of the 7 Ages is supposed to be. *NM* Etzel - 22/04/2010 09:53:20 PM 418 Views
I don't think so. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 22/04/2010 09:57:43 PM 859 Views
No, the point is... Etzel - 23/04/2010 10:06:03 AM 919 Views
Not sure what your point/question is. Doesn't seem like an issue to me quite frankly . RugbyPlayingAshaman - 26/04/2010 04:45:21 PM 941 Views
The question is... Etzel - 26/04/2010 05:08:48 PM 857 Views
I agree with FT RugbyPlayingAshaman - 26/04/2010 06:28:29 PM 1038 Views
Well, maybe. Fanatic-Templar - 22/04/2010 06:32:05 PM 921 Views
Doesn't make sense Etzel - 22/04/2010 09:51:55 PM 870 Views
Why? Fanatic-Templar - 22/04/2010 11:16:21 PM 879 Views

The question isn't if it would be possible for the Creator... Etzel - 23/04/2010 08:34:23 AM 891 Views
Yes, but as we also know from the cosmology of WoT... Fanatic-Templar - 23/04/2010 09:08:58 AM 986 Views
Yeah... Etzel - 23/04/2010 10:03:19 AM 883 Views
Why must there have been such a thing? Fanatic-Templar - 23/04/2010 07:30:02 PM 891 Views
So, you believe there never was a first 1st Age? *NM* Etzel - 24/04/2010 08:55:45 AM 451 Views
Yes and no... Fanatic-Templar - 24/04/2010 10:55:02 PM 878 Views
Don't think so, but might be an interesting question for BS! *NM* Etzel - 25/04/2010 09:38:09 AM 458 Views
True that. *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 25/04/2010 06:30:03 PM 481 Views
Yes there was a first age, no it is not a loop. Kieran - 23/04/2010 01:49:45 AM 923 Views
More change? Fanatic-Templar - 23/04/2010 05:03:22 AM 835 Views

Can't be... Etzel - 23/04/2010 08:27:29 AM 911 Views
Yeah, but Loial apparently read a copy of The Lord of the Rings somewhere... Fanatic-Templar - 23/04/2010 09:11:00 AM 951 Views
It's reversed... Etzel - 23/04/2010 10:10:56 AM 1012 Views
I doubt it, I don't have the books with me right now... Fanatic-Templar - 23/04/2010 07:31:34 PM 1011 Views
I don't think that's right. *NM* Etzel - 24/04/2010 08:57:45 AM 923 Views
You're right, that is not referenced in the book. Fanatic-Templar - 25/04/2010 06:34:29 PM 854 Views
