5:18 LOTR nerd here.
The Eagles were part of a powerful ‘arch angel’s’ domain. The angels forbidden to interfere in any meaningful way, so sent representatives to intervene diplomatically. These were the 5 wizards, of which only Gandalf didn’t go rogue or abandon his mission.
Also, Mordor had an airforce. Fellbeasts, bats, birds and in some drafts, small dragons. The Eagles were not able to safely fly into Mordor, where the air is poisoned, the sky black with volcanic soot and the weather a constant thunderstorm. Not without being attacked by the locals and risk losing the Ring.
THANK you
Pretty sure they had massive fucking dragons as well.
@@bloobiest Melkor/Morgoth had dragons but I think Tolkien wrote that Sauron wasn’t as capable of controlling them as his master.
In earlier drafts I do know there were dragons in Mordor but that Smaug was the only large and intelligent of his kind left, hence why Gandalf pushed for him to be destroyed.
In the complete works however it’s stated that Smaug was the only dragon within reach of Sauron’s influence, and that Gandalf helped the dwarves on their quest with the hope of eliminating that possibility. Even then, it’s also stated that Sauron would have needed to strike an alliance with Smaug rather than outright dominate him.
The only Dark Lord in Tolkien’s world who held dominion over dragons was Morgoth. He created them after all! Morgoth held absolute dominion over all things evil except Ungoliant. Even after his imprisonment/death his former subjects still worshiped him as a god.
That still doesn’t explain why the eagles couldn’t fly BILBO and the dwarves somewhat closer to the lonely mountain. I understand the threat of Smaug, but at least bring them to the other side of Mirkwood. I’m sure even if they couldn’t fly over it they could’ve gone around it, which they only discounted because of how long it would take on foot.
I read up a bit more on this. Mordor apparently has poisonous air higher up because of the smoke from the volcano. They also have extremely good archers and whatnot so it would be a huge risk to fly over Mordor. @@Carl_with_a_k_
6 hours of jackseptice sounds like something i would never hear again
Real
Necessary
@@Animeking00909I gotchu
or like you’d never hear again afterwards… love ya sean
I read this as Jackseptic Ice, and now I just picture jack with a durag and big gold chain
A blanket, bed, rain, and a six hour Jacksepticeye video about killing horrid monstrosities. Heaven.
Sounds like a great day to me.
now that's therapy
The rain adds +2000 comfort to your stats too
This video was
Bonkers
Agreed
Jack you forgot to mention the absolutely heartbreaking fact that sif not only recognizes you, but she also recognizes you as the person that SAVED her and she doesn't want to fight you but follows her duty. It makes me cry every time lmao
I remember the first time I fought Gwyn I was stunned by just how melancholic his theme song is. It's literally the collective sadness of a dying world that can't really be saved, only prolonged. FromSoft nailed it
Plin Plin Plon
“You going to da fuckin ground bishhh” is now my new favorite thing to say
It had me cracking up everytime he said it.
it reminds me of how gabs talks sometimes i love when couples do similar things it's so cute

Over time I've realized this is exactly the type of content that I'm happy to consume, not because an infinite scroll is trapping me, but because I heckin want to watch it!
mood
ok lol
For Real!
I’ve no idea what’s going on story wise but I’m enjoying watching Sean enjoy himself and that’s all that matters
I've watched this single video for two weeks in bite-sized chunks during my dinner
It was a lot of fun, and a lot of nostalgia. Thank you for both of those.
I've come to the realization that the reason I love series like these (Dark Souls, God of War, Any game with lots of walking around) is I get to listen to Jack talk about the things he's playing and his life and just the deepest thoughts within his mind. I miss listening to Jack talk about how stock sounds effects and things like that. Please do more series like this (Including Dark Souls 2 I love that game)
This is the reason why I am hopeful Sean will do a Death Stranding 2 play through. I absolutely loved it just because of the way Sean played it!
Sean keeps saying that he's probably just explaining Dark Soul things to Dark Soul players, but yes there are a lot too that haven't played nor seen the game, like me. It's also nice to learn about another game from a genre I haven't touched, and you explaining the game just shows how much you love it, it's nice watching someone talk about something they love.
Highly recommend. Just know it will require a lot of patience when you first get into them. But you won't regret it
Literally my #1 faveorite genre which is kind of a shame because there aren't many of these type of games.
On the bright side, the quality never stoops below Ds2.
This is exactly it 👏
@@wingsoficarus1139thing is ds2 isn’t even bad in comparison to other games, simply because of how actually, dare is say, GOOD the dlcs are. I still replay the game just to fight fume knight and sir alonne again sometimes, and the cool thing is you don’t even have to do that since the game has bonfire ascetics which I wish were in the later games.
@@durgons2324it took me 60 hours to the the first have of this game, after that I started enjoying the game, no regrets
Sean: Can't parry this!
Balder Knight: *parries a 12 kgs stick with rapier*
i keep coming back to this video (and the other souls vids you've done). it just brings me immeasurable happiness to see you play these. thank you for your hard work on these videos, it is so so appreciated
props to the editor for editing this absolutely massive episode
Trey is great!
If Sean had to play the game in one sitting, does that mean Trey had to edit the video in one sitting?
@@General12thin keeping with the theme, yes 😂
Cant wait to watch this masterpiece over the course of the week while im chillin in bed
Hey jay how you doing
jay is that dude because he’s just like me fr
1 day
Nagito would enjoy watching it with you Jay, never forget
I just got done with your train video, are you following me bro
The little edits on this video are top tier this is so gold thank you for this I just hope we get more long play of ds or bb
I've never seen this game all the way through, so going on this journey with you has been a special experience that I'll treasure. Thank you Sean. A video that was definitely worth the wait!
jack: how much do i ever pay attention to this game
also jack: *memorizes exactly where enemies are and their attack patterns*
That’s just cause of how much we’ve played dark souls in the past, all the routes and enemies are drilled into our brains
Low editing which is needed for a full playthrough video but these tiny little edits every now and again are absolute *chef kiss*
Agreed 💯
Thank you for making this video and all other full games in 1 video videos because this video made me want to play souls games and with this video i actually beat dark souls remastered and started dark souls 3 and now i am in love with these games so really thank you, for making me also want to bonk
Great video! Can't wait to see you do the other games in full. So much fun to watch.
I think the 49:30 ''You can't parry this... HE CAN PARRY THAT?'' has great audio potential
It gives “they fly now??” *They fly now!* vibes from his SM2 playthrough

PLEASE KEEP DOING LONGER CONTENT, I have been watching for over a week and it continues to be entertaining. I would love to see more of this franchise, and older games.

@@topbloke1683 dude shut up, let people enjoy what they want
@@topbloke1683 First of all, no one said you had to watch all 6 hours in one sitting. Second, watching someone play a game is the exact same thing as watching professional sports so I am assuming you are against that as well. Third, its fun to see how someone else plays a game like this: the way Jack plays this is probably not the same way I would play. Also, why did you even click on this video if you were just going to shit on it?
You old people need to stop bullying and judging us for doing what makes us happy. What a hateful generation@@topbloke1683
@@topbloke1683Yea, as if cable tv didn't exist before this. GTFO.

Thank you so much for doing these playthroughs! Watching your original Dark Souls 1 and Dark Souls 3 runs back in the day is what got me into FromSoft. I've played each Dark Souls and Elden Ring at least five times each! Please keep doing what you love to do, it shows in your videos, and is an absolutely fun journey experiencing the SoulsBorne games with you.
I would legit love to see an absolute multitude of series of Jack doing Fromsoft games, I don't think I'd ever get tired of it
dude fr i hope he dose
Would be dope
same, this is great. Hope he does ds2 next :>
"We don't talk about the old playthrough" - Jack not knowing I've watched every video he's ever uploaded in chronological order.
sad
@@redlynx6530 Been watching his videos since 2015. He is an inspiration to us all. How is that sad?
whaaat. no way u did
@@skpacman its not sad its awesome
@@redlynx6530I hope you feel better
Absolutely fantastic video; I do want to say one thing:
The ending where you just leave and don’t kindle the flame is the good ending. The very idea of the age of Fire is that eventually, it must come to an end. The natural order dictates that it must be succeeded by an age of Night. By rekindling the flame, you only delay the inevitable. You aren’t saving the world, you’re trying to preserve it as it slowly decays.
This has been a nostalgia trip like nothing else. Played this so friggen much back in 2011. Please do longer content like this if you feel like it, well recieved here ;3
Jack missed a joke when defeating the boss: PULL THE LEVER BONK!
WRROONNG LEVVEEEEEEEEEERRRRrrr!!
@@drownedzephyr Why do we even have that lever?
@@drownedzephyrthis comment got me!!😂
@@DIIELAST69 I'm so happy others continued the joke. brilliant!
@@bethconner5419 No worries! The Emperor's New Groove is one of my favourite movies.
Jack complaining about the invaders build is the most relatable thing he's ever done xD
Man I decided to try DSII SOTFS again recently with a friend. Immediately ran into the rolly polly spike armor build below the dragon in the first area. Full Adaptability build so his i frames were immense.
"WHY ARE YOU HERE!?"
@@diraltmcallister3523 that doesn't really sound like a tryhard build though. Sounds like someone having fun with a meme build.
Please jack more of these! its beautiful and plus you are incredibly helpful in my memory of where things are
This is beautiful, thank you Shaun and Trey for this experience, can't wait for more
Long form will always be Seans strongest video format. The length ensures that he has to talk about more than what’s immediately going on, I think a lot of people appreciate the various insights into his mind and life.
So true
Honestly same. long format videos are the reason i fell in love with his content.
Agreed! Brain Leak is my favorite every week.
17:53 "I am going to do what is called a pro gamer move" _deals 5 damage_

Really happy I could finally watch a playthrough of this game and see it in all its glory. Nice to also finally see who Gwyn, Lord of Cinder is. Absolutely amazing playthrough, thank you so much for such an awesome video my guy, you rock
i absolutely LOVE these long videos i hope we get more multi-hour playthroughs omg
I like to picture Bonk's motto being "Top of the mornin' to ya flatties!" before proceeding to flatten his foes into the ground.

Bonk be like: TOP OF THE MORNIN to ye flatties AND WELCOME to another Bonk!

Parry this you filthy casual
That knight: *”I just fucken might”*
Loved this playthrough. I might not have been able to watch this all in one sitting, but I sure did watch it all.
Man I'm really enjoying these super long videos, theyre great to watch while I'm crocheting etc. so i hope there will be way more like this in the future
Jack: "Don't go back and watch that video!"
Me: "LEERROOOOOYYY JENKIIIIIIIINNSS!!!"
…Oh my God, he just ran in.
This time it's not a plane, it's a whole time machine
Jack remembering his original series from 11 years ago is really something else. He's come so far and yet he's so humble about it.
*TIME!*
Recently watched the bloodborne series again and I love watching you play souls games, so imagine the joy of seeing a 6 hour dark souls video. Times are good.
This was a good thing to have in the background throughout the day, i thoroughly enjoyed every bit and every body that was put in the ground
This is the type of content I enjoy, it’s like watching a live stream without him reading comments and repeating himself. I work a 10 hour shift so this is perfect. Thank you Sean for taking your time to make this.
I feel you dude
Jack casually dropping a full playthrough of the best game ever made
I LOVE DS1 for it's atmosphere and that amazing Metroid-style level design up to Anor Londo but man, combat wise it can be a right clunky mess lol, is it in my top 5? Sure. But honestly after Elden Ring and DS3 I just can't pretend DS1's combat holds up nearly as well anymore.
Sure the combat may not hold up as well but there's a certain magic to Dark Souls 1 that hasn't been topped for me.
I am happy to say I have finally watched it all thanks jack! I love these longer form vids
I’ve grown up watching Jack and I’ve never gotten bored with whatever he plays. I started watching when I was 13 and now I’m 21. Thank you Jack for all you do❤
Ugh you're welcome, even if I'm not jack 😊
@@skibidi.G seàn lol
Same here man , been watching jack since when he was living in the cabin by his parents it’s amazing to see how much he has blossomed and still brings out quality content love the dude heaps ❤
I’ve been watching when I was 8 and my dad didn’t like him (I didn’t care he was funny)
Same I'm only 19 but I was like 10 or 11 and man its been a good long time
5:36:53 I love the theory that he really is actually from Yharnam and got dragged through a portal same as you. A lot of the items by where he's standing are very bloodborne-esk along with his obvious drip
In a perfect world where we get Bloodborne 2, he's a side NPC you can meet with a plot about that. Bonus points if the quest reward is like, Artorias' Sword or something from DS1.
But i also recognize FromSoft like their games separated. And i'd just accept a Bloodborne 2, period. ;-;
Barely a theory atp and practically confirmed. Not officially, but practically.
You do realize this game came out first, right?
@@TheFlopped2979 the game did come out first, but the dlc came out i think a little bit before bloodborne, so chester was kind of a little hint to the next game coming out after the release of the dlc (that game being bloodborne)
The way he talks and sounds like he's from yharnham
This was so much fun to watch! I adore when Jack plays his favorite games. His genuine enthusiasm shines through, and when he's having a great time we all have a great time! I don't think I'd play Dark Souls myself, but I love watching Jack play.
Loving this content format. Feels like I'm playing the game myself with a friend
Rue is a modern verb that often looks back on the past. Shakespeare made famous the phrase "rue the day," meaning you bitterly regret a moment. For example, you might rue the day you had your first coffee if you become hopelessly addicted to it.
Of course it was Shakespeare
Shakespeare isn’t very modern.
i know it from iCarly
@@carl_consumer.of.reality That's where I heard it for the first time as well. Love that show, so good.

This is exactly my favorite kind of Jack content, especially when he loves it so much. Keep up the good work!!!!

I love watching these long form videos cant wait to see more.
Jack, I'm 32 and just beat my first playthrough of Dark Souls in my entire life about 15 minutes ago. I've been following along with your video for guidance and laughs, and it seriously made my playthrough so much more enjoyable. Thanks for this video, I might have given up and gone hollow if it wasn't for Bonk.
4:25:19 the concept of a giant clam thing with skulls inside instead of pearls is pretty sick

Lol i just scroll through comments I saw this at the same time it happend as well lol
ohh bwudaw
amazing video as always hope to see the next 2 games aswell!
Seeing this video made me so happy. I grew up seeing Jack’s videos. Eventually I got into fromsoftware’s games at the age of 19 3 years ago. So, seeing my favorite UA-camr play one of my favorite games while seeing how passionate he is with fromsoftware’s games, is such a special feeling. I cried at the end and then laughed at “boink” sound when Gwyn got parried, lol. Well, time to see Jack play DS3, the first fromsoftware game I played. It’s going to be another fun ride, and I hope to see the other games as well (and again with Bloodbourne and Elden Ring)!!!
Shortcut to spiderlady is for Solair's quest. Normally you would have to kill him at the end of his quest but if you unlock the shortcut, you can SAVE SOLAIR. I was so happy when I found that out.
but then solaire never finds his sun and he has no purpose in this world. Is that really worth saving him?
@@spice_goat6649 But he doesn't go hollow after that though. Meaning he still has a goal to fulfill. So that does indeed mean he's saved
Yeah it's sad to find out that he's from a different Land and he's not supposed to be in DarkSouls

Sean, I have to say, I had never even heard of Dark Souls before you posted this. But since you did, I got something new in my heart. I got Dark Souls on my laptop, (no multiplayer), and I love you for introducing this to me. Thank you.
4:32:10 "Not that you're gonna get married to a ghost."
No mate, that's the Age of Stars ending in Elden Ring.
25:36 To rue is to bitterly regret (something one has done or allowed to happen), so "rue the day" means "(deeply) regret the day (something happened)".
Thank you!
I kind of assumed this throughout the many times ive heard this phrase, nice to have it confirmed randomly in a yt section
iCarly watchers know this
3:25:59 according to _deepest lore,_ the Pisacas (blue octopus things) were girls kidnapped by Channelers (trident wielding wizards) to be used in experiments, and apparently those two girls were in love 🥺 or just sad, i don't know
They’re sisters who were also maidens of Gwynevere
Yup. That's why there's a Channeler near the firekeeper deathplace and soul (the area near the gargoyles)
Definitely do the tier list we all love hearing you talk about anything soulsborne related!
Yay I finished watching after a whole week of watching this like every night haha! Great video jack!
Hi Sean! Longtime viewer here (6-7 years now);
I can understand that these videos might seem challenging to put out due to the specific genre of games / entertainment and the length of the video. I'd like you to know that I love these type of videos. I've been a huge FromSoft fan and I really enjoy seeing my favourite UA-camr absolutely demolish these games that I've struggled with. You play these games with so much expertise and love for the franchise that its a joy to see, I really appreciate the effort that you put into these videos! I know I'm not the only viewer who thinks this way and I speak for many when I say: I'd absolutely love to see you play more FromSoft games (Bloodborne again, DS3, Demon Souls etc. KEEP EM COMING)!
I cannot thank you enough for what you've done for me over the years so for now, thank you for everything and please keep going : )
Sincerely, a viewer
I hope he reads this comment.
As a fellow fromsoft enjoyer I wish he plays bloodborne again, i have watched the bloodborne series over and over 5+ times
Couldn’t put it better myself
*Same.*
You just made me feel really fucking old. I've been watching Jack for well over 10 years now and it's insane to have that put into perspective how long ago that was.
DONT FOR GET SEKIROOOOOOO
I've been watching him since I was in high school 8 years ago. lol
This heals a part of my soul to have these long series when Jack makes them. No matter what I'm doing I can put it on and feel like I'm hearing a good friend have fun with a game.
Took me 3 days to finish it all but that was amazing jack, loving the longer content
I started my very first playthrough last year.
After I got stuck on Ornstein and Smough I put the game on hold.
Your video inspired me to go back to the game.
And right now, I finally did it.
I finished Dark Souls All Bosses + DLC.
Thank you for the motivation I needed to do that.
The way Jack's moan echoed through the cathedral at 34:27 resonated with me on a deep level
It’s so Ethereal

Audiophiles everywhere moaned after hearing that
A moan so powerful it echos through time and space

as someone who recently turned 20 and as someone who still feels like a child with no direction in their life, hearing you say the thing about being 21 and a child made me feel like everything would be okay and I am so grateful
You have about 4 years of major brain growth left. Take your time learning who you're going to be. I'm almost 34 and still feel like I'm only pretending to be an adult sometimes. Be kind to yourself.

I looooved this video. It made me play the game again. Also pleeeeease do a boss tier list video!
I love watching stuff like this. I have never played a Dark Souls game or any FromSoftware game. But Berserk is my absolute favorite manga and anime of all time ('97 version not the movies on Netflix). And I love that it is heavily inspired by it as well. Great stuff Sean! We love it.
11:28 "Knowing what I know now, that was a child." This couldn't get more accurate. I know I'm only in my early twenties, but looking back at the decisions I made and all the consequences that came right after during my teenage years (when I was expected to be perfect at all times yet I kept failing at it and knowing now so much of the things that would've made my life easier back then), those bad times didn't happen because I was a failure. It was simply because those versions of me were just a child. And I know I'll have the same thoughts on my thirties when I'll look back at my twenties.
I'm thirty-five, and I can totally confirm that you are right. You'll look back on your twenties, a time when you (generally) think you're wise and ready for the world, and realize just how childish you still were. It's not your fault, though. This world, for some ridiculous reason, expects us to be perfect the moment we start walking and talking. Just be sure to look back on yourself with kindness and compassion.
Jack not knowing that you can get up to 20 Estus uses is hilarious to me for some reason
There was also a point in undead burg where he was like, "How tf I get these two humanity?" I still barely believe the soft humanity mechanic exists :)
Yeah I still don't get how that mechanic works either

Loved that boundary break shoutout, been watching him since he uploaded the dark souls 3 video
I feel like the reason why Dark Soul has that feeling and atmosphere that can't be replicated even in future installment is because of the situation that Hidetaka Miyazaki had so many creative control over this game it was his first project as a fantasy game after Demon Souls and was quite motivated to put his ideas into this game.
From someone who has only seen speed-runs of this game I really appreciate you taking the time to explain things!
Distortion2 I presume?
Nothing makes me happier than watching my fav UA-camr bash out a whole ass game in one video. Love it!!
I have never ever played/experienced any Dark Souls game and this 6+ hour long video was my first exposure to it. I've just known about it being as an incredibly hard game with a dark fantasy/medieval theme to it prior to watching this video. The atmosphere of the game is really beautiful and I love that the regions are so unique and environmentally different from one another. I am guessing there probably is no better introductory video to Dark Souls than this video, and it has made me curious as to looking forward to learn about the lore!
Community: Darks Souls 2 on the way?

Honestly if he doesn’t like the game, I wouldn’t want to see him play it.
@@NickCombs It is one of those games you look back on as terrible.but with my experience your likeness to the game grows as you play. It's not a bad or terrible game. But it's a pretty bad Dark Souls successor.
I have recently gotten into the souls games and I’ve wondered why everyone hates the 2nd one? I haven’t played it I’m more of a bloodborn fan lol.
@@Yuri-uf2tu It does things a lot differently. A lot of people just got used to how the other games played and there were too many changes for them. Personally it's my favorite soulsborne game but I understand that it's different. It's not bad, just different
I would absolutely love if he did a play through of Sekiro. Whether it’s all in one video or a series. I love how passionate Jack is about these games and it’s made me want to explore them for myself as a result
25:43 Shakespeare made the phrase "rue the day," famous and it meaning you bitterly regret a moment

1:49:38 There's no canon answer to Sen's identity (Sen is only assumed to be either a person or a unique object, because his name in Japanese - セン/Sen - is written in katakana), but one theory is that Sen is the Nameless King, Gwyn's banished firstborn son. That's because Andre says that "Sen's Fortress is an old proving grounds built by the ancients Gods", and it's known that Gwyn's firstborn was a god of war. Another evidence is the presence of Serpent Men (serpents are imperfect dragons) in both Sen's Fortress and in Archdragon Peak (the location where the Nameless King went after aligning with the dragons). There's also a possible connection between the stacks of unused Silver Knight statues in Sen's Fortress (suggesting the place could have been a royal armory), and the fact Gwyn's firstborn trained Ornstein to be his first knight, who eventually became the leader of the Four Knights of Gwyn and presumably the rest of Gwyn's Silver Knights (suggesting Gwyn's firstborn originally commanded the Silver Knights, and in that position he would have controlled the royal armory).
4:21:26 The theory about the Ash Lake trees is that they are portals to parallel worlds (the known lore comes from the opening cinematic: "In the Age of Ancients, the world was unformed, shrouded by fog. A land of gray crags, archtrees, and everlasting dragons. Then there was fire"). Since Ash Lake seems to be a primordial place ( "the world was unformed"), that suggests the other worlds came from it, and that such connection is embodied by the archtrees (with the area working like a dimensional hub).
4:29:07 The Ancient Dragons ruled the world during the Age of Ancients, before the emergence of humanity or gods. Their stone scales gave them immortality (the Stone Dragon in Ash Lake could be either a descendant of the Ancient Dragons or one of them who survived). They opposed the fire brought by the Lords and lost the war against them (Seath the Scaleless sided with the Lords and revealed the dragons' weakness was lightning, which could peel apart their stone scales), and then began the Age of Fire.
4:58:00 The Four Kings were once humans chosen by Gwyn to rule New Londo (a lower vassal of Anon Londo), granting them a fragment of his Lord Soul (the source of Gwyn's sun and lightning powers, which he used to defeat the Ancient Dragons). When the First Flame began to fade out, New Londo turned into an Undead city. They fell into the Dark after a primordial serpent (Kaathe) offered them the Art of Lifedrain (the power to steal humanity from others, so they could preserve their humanity even as Undead).
5:01:19 The Abyss is a realm of Dark (created from the Dark Soul fragments not held by Humans) that can expand while slowly absorbing everything in its path. It is able to corrupt beings aligned with Fire (including the Gods), but not beings that are aligned or indifferent to it (like Humans).
5:35:25 The Artorias of the Abyss DLC happens in Oolacile, about 200 to 300 years before the events of Dark Souls. Oolacile was indeed slowly being swallowed by the Abyss at that point, and it no longer exists by the events of Dark Souls.
5:37:58 Artorias was one of the four knights of Gwyn, known for his skill with a greatsword (he's an homage to Guts, the protagonist of Berserk) and for his wolf companion Sif. When New Londo feel to the dark, he made a covenant with beasts of the Abyss that allowed him to traverse it, so he could defeat the Darkwraiths from the inside. Artorias tried to save Oolacile from being corrupted, but he and Sif were overrun by creatures of the Abyss. He then decided to sacrifice himself to save Sif, using his greatshield to raise a barrier around the wolf (seen at 5:53:52), but became corrupted after his defeat.
6:15:50 The Kiln of the First Flame is where the Lords first found their Lord Souls (which powers they used to defeat the dragons), and also where Gwyn sacrificed himself to the First Flame (which was fading) to extend the Age of Fire (otherwise, the rule of the gods that gained power from it would have ended, marking the start of the Age of Dark).
