works well, ever since I got Earthdawn, I wondered just what the sequence of
events was, and it ended up close to that. One question though...how can we
be sure that what we would call the 1st age was the first, maybe it was
merely the first recorded/remebered age, some might have become before.
Also, is each age the same for every planet in the universe or at least in
our solar system, does each rise and fall together, or is it only a
planetary phenomenon.

really! now that is interesting, but what does SR magic have drain, while ED
doesnt. Is that another step. Maybe Initiates become Adepts (ED style)
eventually, would other characters develop something akin to initiation,
imagine an Discipline for Decking, or a Street Samurai Adept (again, ED type : )
