The Golden Age is the current era of the Second Age, declared by the Ecclesiarchy and Archbishop Fiora Eltal XXIII after the resolution of the Second River War between Brightwood and Dragonfall. For the first time in a thousand years, none of the major Resolute Kingdoms were at active war with each other, and the hope is that, while conflict will remain, piety, magic and science will be able to lead the realm into a more enlightened age, where war can be dispensed of and the resources of the world turned towards solving other problems. The era began around 2700 SA.

The Golden Age is a chiefly Resotanian project, and for them, its effect has been to substitute hard power over the other Kingdoms (in the form of Whiteshields and grand crusades) for a softer expression, increasing the importance of faith and ritual in everyday life, and therefore reliance upon the Ecclesiarchy. For many, it is seen as one step closer to accepting that the days of the Empire of Resotania are somewhat past, and that it is instead happy to remain first among equals. However, officially Resotania relinquishes none of its power, and maintains that every Resolute Kingdom is still beholden to it. With internal power squabbles “sorted” under this Amani Resotani, as it is known, Resotania has turned her eye to dealing with the Maria Dohts Dominion above all else.
