: But you are either presuming that new Eras (NOT TO BE
: CONFUSED WITH AGES! VERY IMPORTANT DISTINCTION,
: EVERYONE!) begin when the Leveller shows up, or what
: the the majority of an Era is Light and then a brief
: period of Dark at the end. I see it as this: Date
: 0000: Light Age begins when Hero is born.
: Hero grows up and starts fighting the dark.
: Hero kills Leveller.
: Light cleans up remaining Dark.
: Light begins rebuilding...
The new age *does* start when the Leveller appears, I think... Is it not an accepted theory that the comet brings with it the spirit of the Leveller? And even so, why would they say "We won't know, at least not for another 940 years" when, 940 years hence, it will have been over a thousand years since the Leveller last appeared...
I mean, 940 years from now signals the 1000th anniversary (sp?) of the death of Balor... The Leveller generally keeps the Light occupied for a lengthy period of time, long enough to make the 940 figure inaccurate.
