This age is characterised by the emergence of a number of gods who ascended to divinity through the Test of the Starstone. It is also year 1 of the previous calendar (AR).
The Age of Lost Omens is one of the five major historical ages, the beginnings and ends of which are marked by events changing all of Golarion. The god Aroden had prophesied that thousands of years would pass before his return on the cusp of mankind's greatest triumph and usher in an "Age of Glory". His priests and followers calculated the supposed exact time of this event and prepared for it with lavish pomp. On the prophesied date, instead of his return, all contact to the god was lost and the world was devastated by terrible storms, the opening of vast planar rifts, and decades-spanning political upheavals. Since then, no major prophecy has come true, a condition for which historians have named the era.
Times here are shown as average estimates - due to the nature of the Gap
When the effects of the time-anomaly known as 'The Gap' stopped.
Empress Sinkeshmali VIII abdicates the throne, as the effects of the Gap mean confusion for the Veskarium.
In the wake of the Gap, dragons are surprised to find their grasp on power slipping away.

Many dragonborn were furious at Drakelands for their greed and violence against the Allied Nations. They agreed to bond with similarly-minded ryphorians, and became known as the Skyfire Mandate.
After the chaos of the Gap threw Veskarium rule into disarray, it took many years before Ghavaniska was returned their their total control.
First contact between the Golarion system and the Veskarium. For reasons revealed later, they were not gifted Drift technology by Triune.
An attack between two enforced-augmentism groups, NextStep and ReMakers, exploded onto the streets. A group of Steward Initiates were accidentally teleported onto the scene and managed to free and then defend a hospital full of hostages, allowing local militia to move against the terrorists.
A pair of Stewards Operatives were sent to a mysterious laboratory on Verces by Captain Delagray, on what should have been a routine checkup. The pair narrowly escaped a Ghoul-like infection and the site was destroyed from orbit.
A squad of criminals hired by the mysterious "Mr Grey" assault Stygian Tower and slaughter the majority of the security forces there. Unfortunately for them, NextStep forces also were there.
The PWS Acreon arrives at Absalom Station, with a mysterious asteroid dubbed 'the Drift Rock' in tow. It is quickly placed under quarantine, but not before Astral Extractions and their subcontracted employees at the Hardscrabble Collective engage in a vicious legal dispute.
