: The Wolf Age ended when Balors head was destroyed I
: think. Or at least that was the prevailing idea back
: last summer.
That could have been, but historians haven't technically names this age yet, though Sword Age was a nickname for a while.
: But remember, the cycle may have been thrown badly out of
: whack during the last 2000 years.
Was it?
: Besides the apperence that the cycle is now unbalenced
: (which seemed to be the way Bungie was leaning) we
: must also conciter how soon it is to be making
: judgments about the light or darkness of the age. For
: all we know this could be a dark age without a Leveler
: to usher it in properly.
It can't go from Light to Light, so the Age is either Dark, the Wolf Age hasn't ended, or the Cycle is broken. Pick one :-).
: Connacht was born into the Wind Age. His exploits mostly
: occured during that time. The Wolf Age only started
: (and I may be wrong, it's been awhile) after he had
: defeated the Leveler, kind of like the Sword Age
: starting after Alric killed Balor.
I'm sorry, but you are. The Wolf Age started as soon as Connacht appeared. Your thinking makes sense, and I thought that too for a while, but then I got my history perfected. I wrote up a timeline which delineates it, here: http://mythtimeline.cjb.net/
: So Tireces was of the Axe Age, but began the age of
: Reason. Moagim killed the unknow hero (also of the age
: of reason) and brougt up the Wind Age. Connocht was of
: the Wind age and set up the Wolf age, and so on and so
: forth.
One would think that, but it doesn't appear to be true, which sucks, IMO. I had thought that only the victors are named after the previous Age today, actually, such as Moagim being the Leveler of the Age of Reason, where Moagim leveled the Age of Reason. Connacht, great hero of the Wind Age, the one who heroed, saved from the Wind Age…it kinda works. That's probably what is meant. But it doesn't work for Alric…"Great hero of the Wolf Age? Wtf? I thought that was Connacht…" Mb that makes it a Dark Age :-).
