	Another interpretation holds that there was a single Flat dimension beneath a finite dimension, that both existed together and that direct travel between them was possible. Again, the breaking changed all of this, creating many flat worlds.

			As a result of the Breaking, the Multi-Verse appears to be infinite, expanding, and billions of years old, even though its present form isn't. Cosmic microwave radiation from the Breaking itself fills many dimensions, which supports the Big Bang theory and all its variations within the ''Course Books'' storyworld.

	An incredibly massive conflict between the [[Army of Darkness\|Armies of Darkness]], led by the [[Dark Lords]], and the [[Army of Light\|forces of light]], led by the [[Monster Gods]] and the [[One King]]. This was either a lengthy conflict or a single enormous battle, depending on which account you follow. In either version, the outcome was not decisive, and the final battle was to be fought by an ascended (temporarily deified) warrior dressed in luminous armor ([[Hunter Jusenkyou]], in [[The Path to Ascension(Story)\|''Path to Ascension'']]). According to the legend, the two armies fought, and in the end it was decided that the Army of Darkness would have three attempts to destroy the world of light, while the Army of Light would have only one chance to defeat them.

It is described as a four-sided, eight-tiered step-pyramid, with a colonnade at the top consisting of forty pillars and an open domed roof. Like the Darkest Tower, the site is considered to exist or have once existed within the physical realm, but is said to be unfathomably enormous in scale.

	There is no question that there was magic in the Mythical Age, and that great and powerful sorcerers walked the earth. Indeed, the precious few surviving relics of the era are magical in nature (and enormously more powerful). Humans possessed magic, along with the other races, and to a degree much greater and more innately than even the most powerful wizards of the [[Mage Wars]].

	In the Great Silencing, this ended. Supposedly, in that instant, all magic was snuffed out, save for that which belongs to the [[Iname]]. Indeed, the Iname were responsible for the Great Silencing, if anyone is to blame. All [[Magic]] in the later timeline, is the fruit of a genetic experiment by the [[Eladamri]].
