Cracked it, I think… Speaking from the viewpoint that the games are in the order of 1 then 2 then 3, which would make sense with the ending of 3, I think. Anyway.

-          **Age of Ancients**

-          Dragons rule

-          First flame is discovered

-          Four beings take souls discovered within – Dark Soul is split between humanity

-          Gwyn wins war against dragons

-          **Age of Fire** - 



-<span style="font-weight:normal;font-stretch:normal;font-size:7pt;line-height:normal;font-family:'TimesNewRoman';">          Flame fades, Gwyn links fire to prolong the age

Either that, or we attempt to link the fire and fail again. The result is the same.
