The '''Ages of Doubt''' marked in Covenant rituals with Faith and Patience, are eras in [[Covenant]] history following the [[Age of Conversion]], where the effects of the previous eras are dealt with. The Age of Doubt first started during the [[Age of Abandonment]]. The last Age of Doubt, the [[Age of Reclaimation]] which was the 23rd, ended in [[2525]], just months before the discovery of [[Humanity]]. This also marked the beginning of the [[9th Age of Reclamation]].
