1. The end of the civil war between the Erudites marks the beginning of the Age of Turmoil, but at launch there was no Paineel. Does that mean we will technically start at the end of the Age of Enlightenment? If so, was there ever any sort of event to commemorate the opening of Paineel on live servers?
2. How long is an age anyway? A Thousand years? More? Less? There have been 6 so far.

1. IMO: I would say that Paineel was discovered - after all, there are skeletons digging a tunnel to Paineel - they are still there on blue, and still being harassed by the abandoned heretic pet telling them to dig faster.
I'd say that the Erudite Necromancers (the heretics) at start were not from Paineel - they were outcasts of Erudin Castle for pursuing the dark arts, which is why they have such a shitty start - and then Paineel is "discovered" and connected with the outside world and the existing heretics are taken in.
That fits better with what actually happened with Live in terms of actual classic history. On servers that started after Paineel/Warrens this distinction isn't important, because Paineel was "always there"
There were no events that I remember but memory fuzzy.
2: IMO Ages are not specific time blocks but instead coincide with a race/kingdom having control of an area - the Elves had to leave Tunaria to build Kelethin & Felwithe.
