The Age of Darkness was a thousand year period in which the sun was blocked by ash knocked into the atmosphere by Earthfall in -5293 AR and ending in -4294. During this age the Orcs emerged from their subterranean homeland fleeing the Dwarves who later also took their first footsteps on the surface world [1] The blocking of the sun allowed Zon-Kuthon to return to Golarion and claim an item from the First Vault due to a deal made with Abadar.[2]
The "prehistoric" time marked by the rise of the ancient Azlanti Empire which preceded the Age of Darkness is sometimes referred to as the Age Before Ages.[3]
