- The age ended by the War of the Shadow and the Breaking of the World. A time when Aes Sedai performed wonders now only dreamed of.
- War of the Shadow
- (a.k.a.: War of Power) A ten year war that ended the Age of Legends. It began shortly after the attempt to free the Dark One (approx. 3650 years ago) and soon involved the whole world. In a world where even the memory of war had been forgotten, every facet of war was rediscovered, often twisted by the Dark One's touch on the World, and the One Power was used as a weapon. The war was ended by the resealing of the Dark One in his prison.

Eventually the Trollocs were slain or driven back into the Great Blight, but some nations ceased to exist, while othere were almost depopulated. All records of the time are fragmentary.

- A series of overlapping wars among constantly shifting alliances, precipitated by the death of Artur Hawkwing and the resulting struggle for his empire. It lasted from FY 994 to FY 1117.
