An age of legends
The Third Age, also called the Age of Legends, which ended more than a millenium ago, is barely recalled by our scholars of the Fourth Age.

Most of them have been copied by the historians of the Travellers Guild, and presented in the following form, also called "Tales of the Third Age". One book has been dedicated to each Legend, and they can be read separately, even though their lives were tied together by bounds set by the gods themselves...
