Re: What is the Fifth Age?

Hey! A discussion on the merits of 4th Age versus 5th Age and no one
invited me?!?

I'm hurt.

Um... Gee, everyone else seems to have covered all the salient points.
I do have one question though. Going forward from here, taking into
account all that has been done with both the 4th and 5th ages, what
would you like to see happen? 

Should we get rid of the gods yet again, and go back to something
similar to how the setting was ****trayed with SAGA? *shudder*

Should we have Tas wake up somewhere soon after Palin's test of High
Sorcery and make some offhand remark about what an odd, convoluted
dream he just had? *my personal favorite*

Something in between maybe?
