文本:第四纪是如今“黑铁纪元”前的那个时代，有关它的历史充满迷雾，诸多缺失，就连出土的陵寝、古城和文献都少之又少，历史学家和考古学家们只能借助于七大教会含糊不清、以信仰教育为主的神学典籍才能勉强拼凑出一点“原貌”，知道所罗门帝国、图铎王朝、特伦索斯特帝国的存在。
翻译:
The Fourth Epoch was the epoch before the present “Iron Age.” Its history was mysterious and incomplete. Due to the fact that very few tombs, ancient cities, and records had been found, archaeologists and historians could only refer to the ambiguous records provided by the seven major Churches that centered around their religious teachings to roughly form the ‘original’ picture. They knew the existence of the Solomon Empire, the Tudor Dynasty, and the Trunsoest Empire.
