Most people, IMO. The effects which ended each Age were pretty much
worldwide, so most Gloranthans would have an understanding of them. They
might disagree as to when, exactly, each Age finished, but they'd have
broad agreement on the subject. For instance the end of the Second Age
might be the Dragonkill for one group of people, the Closing for
another, and the fall of Errinoru's Empire for a third, but all these
events occurred at roughly the same time, so that everyone can agree
there was an Imperial Age of some kind (there were several big empires
at the time, pretty much covering the whole world between them) that
ended round about the 12th century.
Some of the more isolated cultures, such as the Praxians, might put much less emphasis on the idea than others, though. And there'll be groups like the broo, that just don't care :)
