So I am helping with providing ideas and checking for plotholes on FFN. The
writer I am helping is planning on reintorducing the Age of Gods during the
5th Grail War so I need to know the original trigger that led to the end of
the first one. I know that the barrier that seperates the Reverse side of the
world where the gods/divine spirits and the general more OP beings of the Fate
series reside is being maintained due to the exsistence of the real
Rhongomyniad as a pillar of light that acts like an Anchor. Also are there any
other anchors beside Rhongomyniad, if yes than what are they?

Final trigger that ended the Age of Gods(FS/N), World binding anchors beside Rhongomyniad


> so I need to know the original trigger that led to the end of the first one

As indicated on the wikia under [World > History > Age of
Gods](https://typemoon.fandom.com/wiki/World#Age_of_Gods) the transition of
the Age of Gods (genesis) to the Age of Man (0AD) came in 3 phases

  * **Deterioration**

    * the Umbral Star passed by Earth allowing Sefar to invade in 12,000 BC, killing most sentient life, a large number of gods and plundering the vast majority of data from the Moon Cell
  * **Separation**

    * the weakened gods tried to create a link between them and humans by creating Gilgamesh, who ultimately rebelled and encouraged the complete separation of the gods and the humans
    * the gods ended up loosing their powers and became Divine Spirits
    * the decline of Mystery (which is how the world operated back then) is attributed to the demise of the King of Magic, Solomon
  * **Trigger**

    * in 700 BC, there is some unknown Trigger that caused the end of the Age of Gods (this has yet to be revealed)

so while the trigger to the very end of the age is not yet know it was
probably some event which accelerated the age's end, however we can point to
the fact that the Gods lost alot of power in the world after Sefar's invasion
which lead to their downfall.

the page also lists an **Age of Fairies** which looks to be in between the
**Age of Gods** and **Age of Man** but there is little information on this
aside from the fact it has already ended, however given it's position between
the 2 on the World page we might have a hint on when the **Age of Fairies** on
the [Rhongomyniad](https://typemoon.fandom.com/wiki/Rhongomyniad) page

> Being the "king" that stood at the final moments of illusion and the Age of
> Gods, King Arthur possesses this Holy Lance that conceals such a tremendous
> power.

given that Vivian (the Lady of the Lake who gave Arthur/Arturia Excalibur) is
a fairy we could speculate that Arthur's/Arturia's rule and legend is during
the Age of Fairies

> Also are there any other anchors beside Rhongomyniad, if yes than what are

according to the wikia page on the [Reverse Side of the
World](https://typemoon.fandom.com/wiki/Reverse_Side_of_the_World) there may
be

> Rhongomyniad is one of the "anchors" that fasten the planet together to
> ensure that the world of humans on the outermost layer of the world can't be
> destroyed by those on the Reverse Side who wish to reenact the Age of Gods.

Source: [Reverse Side of the World (2nd
Paragraph)](https://typemoon.fandom.com/wiki/Reverse_Side_of_the_World)

the use of the wording _one of the "anchors"_ suggests to be there are more.
however currently we don't know what the other anchors are or what form they
take (or even if they are wielded in the world like Rhongomyniad with
Arthur/Arturia and Grey)
