In the Age of Legends, the world was peaceful. It was a golden age for man. A woman could walk the entire length of the continent with a bag of gold the size of her head and not get molested, cheated, robbed, or any other unfavorable outcome.
Sadly, the world has moved on.
The Breaking, the War of a Hundred Years, Hawkwing, Shadowspawn, Shayol Ghul. The world fell into chaos. Since then, the world has struggled to break through the darkness. Nations built from ruins, cities rise from ashes, people grown from death, disease, and poverty. Foremost in this quest against the Shadow are the Aes Sedai and Asha'man. They fight the Dark to the death. But others fight in their own way.
The scales are balanced, for now. But the world hangs on the razor's edge. The balance is shakey. The world is on the brink of utter chaos...and a golden age. Shall you be the one to tip the scale? Will you bring the world into destruction? Will you tip the scale in favor of the Light, and bring another golden age? Only the Creator knows...or the Dark One....
Choose your path! Make your choice! The time is nigh! Tarmon Gai'don comes!
| The Tower of Will |
| The fortress of the Asha'man. This straight pillar of jetblack seems perfect in form. It seems so until a second look, when the eye is jarred with disturbing angle and cold, hard curve, the sword of erratic architectural winds that give the whole building an unsettling, subtle feeling of wrongness. Black clad and half mad Asha'man watch Dedicated and Soldiers drilling endlessly to perfect their skills and become the living weapons of war. The Tower of Will, a creation of a efficient and chaotic maker, suits and serves it's own. |
| The Tower of Wyrd |
| Home of the Aes Sedai. Clean and white, it seems so simplistic and serene that the indulged opulence of graceful arches and spires of delicate stone work is almost overlooked. More difficult to overlook, would be the two-score or so young girls, Novices and Accepted, scattered about the grounds, in this mists of demeaning chores, for many of them had never experience such hard labor. They are suffering the humility of learning the physical aspect of discipline and self-control; many things are necessary for surviving the harsh laws and rules that simply will not be negotiated, and they will learn them all just to be raised to full Aes Sedai. |
| The Tower of Way |
| A third tower stands upon the Grey Grounds, a tower born to unite the Towers of Will and Wyrd. A thoughtful grey citadel of stone, the Tower of Way is the bond between the Aes Sedai and the Asha'man where black and white mesh together to create the sacred color of grey. In the Hall of the Hart, the two powers meet as they have met in ancient times. The Tower of Way is a sharing ground that honors all who seek the vision, a path and wayside for those residing in the Towers, from the Gaidin Barracks, to the Aiel, to the Towers of Will and Wyrd. From it's quiet halls and high-vaulted libraries come the great thought and deeds that will send the world afire. |
| The Gaidin Barracks |
| Located in the training central of the Tower of Way, resides the battle-hardened warriors whom for they does hardship and blood shadow their shorten futures. Upon entering, all Disciplines and Gaidin in Training will come to realize that life is a precious thing indeed. They are named Sacrifice, and must carry that title with pride and honor, for only they truly know what that means and who they serve. They are the men and women whom Fear fears itself; would the world tremble beneath their powerful gaze and hiss of a blade descending down upon the Shadow. |
