An intermediary period towards the end of the [[Ages|First Age]], during which the stability of the [[Known Worlds]] was in jeopardy.

==Decline and Fall of the Earth Sphere Unified Nations==
===The Begining of the End===
In A.Y. 158, Pendragon [[Aden Searlin]] starts the [[Earth Sphere Unified Nations]] to stabilize the Alliance and prevent a resurgence of the [[Mage Wars]]. Aden's plan is centered primarily on good-faith and economic checks and balances.

The [[Gudersnipe Foundation]] formally withdraws from the [[Alliance]] at this point, which actually does more to stabilize matters than the Pendragon's proposal. A wide-spread distrust of the Foundation existed at this time, and they became an easy scapegoat.

But the peace created by this schism was a false one at best. Nations resumed posturing and isolationism, and old rivalries crept back into perception.

===The Technical End===
The Earth Sphere Unified Nations functions around 230 years before fracturing completely. Economic ties maintain the false peace for the next six hundred years; but the Slayer Dragons have no more political or economic power to enforce the alliances, so any major event runs the risk of destroying [[Eieber]]'s work completely.

===The Actual End===
For the past 600 years, the Earth Sphere Unified Nations has existed as a name and nothing else. [[Arindell]] functions as an autonomous city-state, and the Pendragons continue as defenders of good. This time is known as the [[Golden Age of the Slayer Dragons]].

The Ninety-Nine-Years War began with unprecedented military build-ups all over the Known Worlds. Historians theorize this was a response to the growing visibility of the Gudersnipe Foundation as they build the [[GATE]] network across the entire Known Worlds.

==Fighting in the Ninety-Nine-Years War==
Or more accurately, lack thereof. Aside from many scattered skirmishes, very little actual fighting took place. Though they lacked the political, economic, or military power to back them, the [[Slayer Dragons]] still held an important political voice.

Acting mostly as a neutral third party, they traveled the Known Worlds mediating disputes. The Gudersnipe Foundation also helped stablize the situation by refusing to move troops over its now-complete GATE network, and instead offering its [[Crimson Blade]] mercenary division, as peace-keeping forces instead of invading armies, to maintain the tenuous balance and prevent further [[Mage Wars]].
