* In the real world this Ice Age was by no means the first, and is referring to the {{w|Last Glacial Period}}, which is the latest in a long line of "ice ages". Glacial periods are cyclical, and occurred consistently throughout the {{w|Quaternary Glaciation}}. Outside of that, an early hypothesised "ice age" in Earth's history was the {{w|Snowball Earth}}. | |||
