It could also apply to smaller Cycles of History, as a Lunar might describe it.
Eg: Pavis
First Age - exploration and harmony and building. Ends in a war with Thog and deals with mercenaries.
Second Age - Arrowsmith Dynasty - rule of Kings, the Zebra Cavalry - population growth,
Third Age - Break down of the wall, nomad invasion, slaughter.
Fourth Age - The Dark Age - troll Occupation.
Start of Time - New Pavis, compromise with trolls.
I'm sure other sequences could be fitted into this formula as it is a kind of universal mythological thing.
