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 1068 Views
Yeah, it's the "third age"... DomA - 22/04/2010 02:13:56 PM 1068 Views
Difficult to see how you can refer to a billion people as a "fringe"... *NM* Shannow - 22/04/2010 05:02:08 PM 464 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 465 Views
Last I've heard, the majority of Christians weren't fundamentalists DomA - 23/04/2010 01:54:04 PM 911 Views
How about "living on the fringe of reality"? *NM* Marshall - 24/04/2010 10:21:17 PM 464 Views
That's not entirely right Etzel - 22/04/2010 03:54:23 PM 1005 Views
I think FT is saying that human conceptions of time don't apply to eternity. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 22/04/2010 04:14:45 PM 911 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 435 Views
I don't think so. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 22/04/2010 09:57:43 PM 893 Views
No, the point is... Etzel - 23/04/2010 10:06:03 AM 960 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 977 Views
The question is... Etzel - 26/04/2010 05:08:48 PM 888 Views
I agree with FT RugbyPlayingAshaman - 26/04/2010 06:28:29 PM 1079 Views
Well, maybe. Fanatic-Templar - 22/04/2010 06:32:05 PM 957 Views
Doesn't make sense Etzel - 22/04/2010 09:51:55 PM 906 Views
Why? Fanatic-Templar - 22/04/2010 11:16:21 PM 913 Views
Ok File Leader - 23/04/2010 12:15:03 AM 927 Views
The question isn't if it would be possible for the Creator... Etzel - 23/04/2010 08:34:23 AM 928 Views
Yes, but as we also know from the cosmology of WoT... Fanatic-Templar - 23/04/2010 09:08:58 AM 1018 Views
Yeah... Etzel - 23/04/2010 10:03:19 AM 914 Views
Why must there have been such a thing? Fanatic-Templar - 23/04/2010 07:30:02 PM 936 Views
So, you believe there never was a first 1st Age? *NM* Etzel - 24/04/2010 08:55:45 AM 465 Views
Yes and no... Fanatic-Templar - 24/04/2010 10:55:02 PM 913 Views
Don't think so, but might be an interesting question for BS! *NM* Etzel - 25/04/2010 09:38:09 AM 471 Views
True that. *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 25/04/2010 06:30:03 PM 498 Views
Yes there was a first age, no it is not a loop. Kieran - 23/04/2010 01:49:45 AM 966 Views
More change? Fanatic-Templar - 23/04/2010 05:03:22 AM 866 Views

Can't be... Etzel - 23/04/2010 08:27:29 AM 947 Views
Yeah, but Loial apparently read a copy of The Lord of the Rings somewhere... Fanatic-Templar - 23/04/2010 09:11:00 AM 985 Views
It's reversed... Etzel - 23/04/2010 10:10:56 AM 1047 Views
I doubt it, I don't have the books with me right now... Fanatic-Templar - 23/04/2010 07:31:34 PM 1045 Views
I don't think that's right. *NM* Etzel - 24/04/2010 08:57:45 AM 965 Views
You're right, that is not referenced in the book. Fanatic-Templar - 25/04/2010 06:34:29 PM 883 Views
