-The '''Age of Serpents''' is a term used primarily in the [[Inner Sea region]] by those who use the dating system known as [[Absalom Reckoning]] for the length of unmeasured time that preceded the rise of [[human]]ity on the continent of [[Azlant]]. It was marked by the rise of one of [[Golarion|Golarion's]] first [[mortal]] races to gain control of large parts of the world and from whom the age is named: the [[serpentfolk]]. Some scholars postulate that the rule of the serpentfolk in this age stretched across continents and beyond to nearby [[planet]]oids. The Age of Serpents was preceded by the mythical [[Age of Creation]] and was followed by the [[Age of Legend]], when the power of the serpentfolk was eclipsed by other races.<ref>{{cite book/The Inner Sea World Guide|33}}</ref><ref name="OM-8+">{{Cite book/Occult Mysteries|8&ndash;9}}</ref>
