The Fourth Age should not be the worse Age, it is only the Lesser Darkness, creatures from the UnderWorld invade the surface world.
It is the Fifth Age that is really scary, that's when someone summons Chaos into the world.

Fifth Age the Devil's Playground is created when the city magician summons Chaos either to fight the trolls or to be the most powerful individual inside the walls.
If the Chaos invasion had not been broken, the Big Rubble could have been transformed into a Chaos pit like the Print or Dorastor...
