If anything at all, what would the third age be called, like the second age is the Age of Legends. Just curious as to what people would think it were called, since it's never mentioned, and no one else has asked the question as far as I can see.

Age of Darkness?

Age of the Dragon could also work, since it was began and finished by the Dragon.

The Age of Prophecy?

they would call it their present?

 

and i reread the OP and used my brain more, sorry.

 

they would call it the olden days.

Fourth Age? Phaw! That's not coming after the DO destroys the Pattern, silly.

oh, duh, it's the age of arda.

"The last age"? The Dragon's Age?

im pretty sure its mentioned a few times that its called the age of prophecy.

I seem to recall some passage/passages mention age of prophecy.

Do not remember which ones.

Having trouble getting to the Ideal Seek site.

I'm pretty sure it was stated somewhere that it would be the Age of Bela.

I'm fond of the 'Age of Insufferable Women with an Overblown Sense of Entitlement' line, but that's just me.

The Age of Not Communicating Properly With Each Other?

 

I swear majority of the issues and problems in the book is caused simply because people are so busy with being "sneaky" and trying to manipulate each other, rather than simply being flat out honest about things :P

Those seem to be so in the series' portion of the Age, but can they also apply to the beginning and middle portions of the Age?

those seem to be the natural human condition. if communication was meant to be straightforward, we wouldn't need language to manage the less than wholly truthful bits. it'd pretty much be all handled wolf style. obfuscation helps with the excessive socialization humans "enjoy."

+1. Fourth age won't call the Third Age anything because it won't exist.

The Seafolk at the end of Winter's Heart call it the Age of Illusion:

 

"All thoughts of the Atha'an Miere gone, Tinma gathered her cloak and sat down on the ground, smiling to think that she might see the fulfillment of prophecy and the end of Illusion."

are you just posting all these things so i can post, "no they don't?" cause that's cool, i'm bored, too.

It's not a denial, it's a suggestion! :D Oh wait...

 

I'm just bored too. :) I read KoD, tSR, and ToM a couple of times, then went back and bookmarked the good parts, so I'm going back 2-3 pages to bring up some interesting topics that had few replies.

 

I guess I'm going to go through WH now and find the first meetings of Mat/Tuon, then re-read the Cleansing of Saidin.

good luck with it, always good to have something to post about.

The age without Twitter..

Cindy- you read my mind I see myself agreeing with many of your post and I think you understand the condition we call humanity Ok that was weird to say but true. Keep up the good work

What will they call it? At this rate 'Last year' seems pretty likely.

They'll call it "the Third Age". It's only in the book intro and in the writings from the Fourth the current Age is referred to as the Third Age.

The Age of Trials

 

just a thought, think about how difficult the age was (on the whole) versus the prior age

The age of mythology with Arthur, Merlin, Odin, Perun, and Thor...and a bunch of women who complained a lot!
