Re: thinking on the 4th-7th and 1st ages.... RugbyPlayingAshaman Send a noteboard - 22/04/2010 03:09:32 PM
I think that with the nature of time being cyclical, the use of the terms 1st, 2nd or some other number in a sequential order largely becomes redundant and meaningless. For example, if you lived in the Third Age, the age coming before your ancestral memory before the First Age is forgotten, so that putting them in order is largely dependent on where you exist in relation to prior ages.

I think the world will be pretty well set up at the end of TG. I think the evil of Shayol Ghul will either become the next ultimate evil or be instrumental in destroying absolute evil, leaving the world in the hands of the petty disagreements between mortal beings concepts of good and evil instead of god-like embodiments of those forces.

I don't know that there could really be a first or last Age... - 22/04/2010 07:48:11 AM 740 Views
Yeah, it's the "third age"... - 22/04/2010 02:13:56 PM 708 Views
That's not entirely right - 22/04/2010 03:54:23 PM 669 Views
I think FT is saying that human conceptions of time don't apply to eternity. - 22/04/2010 04:14:45 PM 606 Views
However, I think RJ definitely had an idea, what each Age of the 7 Ages is supposed to be. *NM* - 22/04/2010 09:53:20 PM 306 Views
I don't think so. - 22/04/2010 09:57:43 PM 582 Views
No, the point is... - 23/04/2010 10:06:03 AM 659 Views
Not sure what your point/question is. Doesn't seem like an issue to me quite frankly . - 26/04/2010 04:45:21 PM 655 Views
The question is... - 26/04/2010 05:08:48 PM 584 Views
I agree with FT - 26/04/2010 06:28:29 PM 748 Views
Well, maybe. - 22/04/2010 06:32:05 PM 634 Views
Doesn't make sense - 22/04/2010 09:51:55 PM 576 Views
Why? - 22/04/2010 11:16:21 PM 605 Views
Ok - 23/04/2010 12:15:03 AM 597 Views
The question isn't if it would be possible for the Creator... - 23/04/2010 08:34:23 AM 601 Views
Yes, but as we also know from the cosmology of WoT... - 23/04/2010 09:08:58 AM 653 Views
Yeah... - 23/04/2010 10:03:19 AM 610 Views
Why must there have been such a thing? - 23/04/2010 07:30:02 PM 611 Views
So, you believe there never was a first 1st Age? *NM* - 24/04/2010 08:55:45 AM 326 Views
Yes and no... - 24/04/2010 10:55:02 PM 581 Views
Don't think so, but might be an interesting question for BS! *NM* - 25/04/2010 09:38:09 AM 296 Views
True that. *NM* - 25/04/2010 06:30:03 PM 355 Views
Yes there was a first age, no it is not a loop. - 23/04/2010 01:49:45 AM 657 Views
More change? - 23/04/2010 05:03:22 AM 563 Views

I doubt it, I don't have the books with me right now... - 23/04/2010 07:31:34 PM 674 Views
I don't think that's right. *NM* - 24/04/2010 08:57:45 AM 633 Views
You're right, that is not referenced in the book. - 25/04/2010 06:34:29 PM 580 Views
