The Elder Races grow complacent, and the Olom especially ignore their worship of the gods. Meanwhile, in the wild places of the world, the Wyrmbroods grow.

	'''Of note''': There is some disagreement among scholars as to what marks the end of the Second Age and the start of the Third. Most put the end of the Age of Wonder at the extermination of the Olom and the rise of its legacy races. A vocal minority would have the Age of Wonder extend until the departure of the Ord and the Ald as well. It really comes down which event one deems more significant: the fall of the Elder Races, or the rise of their successors. In this account, the Age of Wonder with the inception of the Olom’s legacy races.
