I think this is on the right track, but I think light has it's own cycle. We are astral now, the WoL is on the rise, everything seems to be going our way when we get our hands in things, but the scales are tipping. As with each elemental cycle, the Light's cycle will one way or another be brought down by light and we will go through a light umbral phase (as backwards as that sounds, astral and umbral are kind of just words to throw around meaning positive and negative). I am thinkthing Zodiark comes into play around the end of this era, ushering in the final phase of the cycle- the Dark era. There will then be a dark astral phase, followed by a dark calamity. If the dark umbral phase comes about then it is the end.

Pure speculation at this point, but before the servers shut down (hopefully not for a long time) we will see a calamity and maybe see a whole new world wrapped in darkness where Zodiark is in charge.
