@AWC: The name of an Age isn't necessarily a description of the actual, physical world; it can also refer to a specific phenomenon that occurred during that time period. The reason that the Age of Fire is called such is because the First Flame is still alight, not because the whole world was on fire. Conversely, the Age of Dark only begins when the First Flame goes out, and does not mean that the world is overrun by the Abyss.
