For this age, Faerlynn created a set of perfectly balanced kingdoms. He expected a utopia to follow, however his plans could not foresee the intervention of the Fateless. Looking to break the world free of the influence of Faerlynn once and for all, the Fateless sought the most powerful of artifacts and learned the most terrible of magics.
With immense power, they finally waged a war against Faerlynn himself. The world was shattered, but Faerlynn was defeated. The Fateless could not entirely destroy him, but they did tear his power apart and sealed it away. With other great magics, they made as much of a world to live on as they could. Other magics kept the paths of the moons from collapsing, as their orbits did not obey natural laws. What was left of the world and the few survivors of the war against Faerlynn now settled down to a world ruled by their own choices, not by predestination. Thus began the Sixth Age.
