First of all, it is given that Bahl'al (spelled Bahlíal in GURPS, a misprint or what?)
To start out with, we know that the current year (soulblighter + 1 year) is 2542 A.E.

The Age of Reason
"...This millennium extends from 3,111 to 2,112 years ago.
"The first human hero to emerge from the fog of prehistory was Tireces, who arose to challenge the first recorded Leveller - as all the champions of the Dark have been surnamed. Little is recorded of this battle waged in 570 H.C., except that (perhaps for the first time) the Light was able to harness sorcery to immobilize the Leveller. The dark lord was beheaded and burned at the stake."
The rest of the section describes decline of Trow and successes in Age of Reason (it's a light age definately).

Wind Age
"This millennium extends from 2,111 to 1,112 years ago. Its name elicits shivers in most human listeners, given it represents everthing the Light fights to avoid." (This implies it's a Dark Age from the very start)
"In 431 A.E. a comet heralded the return of the Leveller. This time he called himself Moagim. His terrible ambition knew no bounds. History has lost the name of whatever hero oppsed him, but doubtless the man met a terrible fate.
"Moagim, though, met worse. Even as he secured Dark's victory, Moagim himself was captured, then drawn and quartered on the plains before Ileum. Tireless horses were sent dragging his remains to the four corners of the world. This set the uneasy precedent that a Dark lord's personal fate need not mirror the fate of his cause" (take note, even though the leveller dies, the Dark can still be in control)
Section describes rise of Myrkridia, and Oghre rebellion in 1435 A.E.

Age of Light
"This millennium extends from 1,111 years ago to 112 years ago. In some references it is also called the Wolf Age.
"In 1431 A.E. a comet filled the western sky of a world still under seige by Myrkridia. Connacht emerged from the east - from a gillage on the eastern edge of Gower some say, from beyond that say others."
(...pro-Connacht propaganda...)
"History suggests that this age's Leveller chose this moment to invade the west, confident that such mighty foes as the Myrkridia and Trow would weaken even the greatest of heroes. In the face of these overwhelming odds, Connacht continued to show a talent for enlisting mighty magical aid. He defeated and entombed the Trow and had their iron temple-cities melted into the ice of Avernus and the Twelve Duns.
"The Leveller of this age - some scholars name him Moagim reborn, but others claim this is an error in copying and recopying ancient sources - stood no chance." (this was a LIGHT age afterall) "Connacht turned the remaining Dark forces and personally slew the Leveller. He had the Leveller's body destroyed by fire, his ashes mixed with salt, and the remains buried under the legendary Mountains of Kor in the Untamed Lands."
(Connacht surnamed "the Wolf," thus naming the age)
"By then the cyclical nature of the ages had become all too obvious - and certain facts whispered of a cyclical nature to the Levellers and the heroes who oppose them, as well. Connacht's greatest quest began about 1433, as he set out to destroy the cycle of Light and Dark itself.
"He dispatched his lieutenant Damas to seek out items of power - the five Eblis Stones, Trabist's Mirros, the Total Codex, and more. Damas - far less the governor than Connacht but far better the adventurer - destroyed what he could and secreted the rest.
"Connacht's reign closed in 1462 A.E. His end is not chronicled, though legend has it that he feared he had not done enough to end the cycle, and wandered into a self-imposed exile."
So, this age was obviously one of Light.

The New Age (Sword Age)
...stuff here about the Myth and Myth 2 plots...

These are just facts from the book, also, all of Humanity apparantly refers to any time before the Age of Reason as the Axe Age, the trow call Golden Age.
Most of these are simply quotes, feel free to make your own assumptions.
