It's been a while since our last update! I did some updating on the Members page, and it is more up to date now. I am please to announce the official beginning of our Kin faction, as the first member has joined and completed her biography. I encourage our members, new and old, to consider following Estean's lead and joining (or founding) a less frequently played faction, such as the Kin, the Ogier, the Children of the Light, or anything else that might strike your fancy. In an effort to branch out and play a more effective, true-to-life world, we are keeping the option of these factions open indefinitely.

I added a page entitled News Archives, where you can find all old news on the site. I have archived all news from 2006 and 2007, in order to make the homepage simpler and easier to navigate.

The Dragon Reborn planned and trained for the Last Battle for several years. When he realized that it was very close, he and his closest allies made a decision. Rather than fight the Last Battle in this world, they chose to take their army into an uninhabited world via PortalStone and fight there, to avoid the devastation the war would bring, even if they won. Al'Thor's last wish before he left was that the Black and White Towers would make peace, there being no more reason for strife after saidin was cleansed. According to their leader's wish, the Asha'man moved their stronghold from Andor to Tar Valon. Once there, they erected a grand Tower, as tall as the White, again using both the Power and Ogier. This new tower, though, was jet black, rising next to the ivory home of the Aes Sedai. The Towers began to accept women into the ranks of Gaidin as well as men. They trained side by side, each earning their title as the fabled Gaidin.

After the Asha'man made their home in Tar Valon, they became far more accepted and trusted by the world, eventually becoming equal to Aes Sedai in political power. They created three Shens for their brotherhood, much like the Ajahs of Aes Sedai, each Shen under the rule of a publicly-known Rei. After the cleansing, the Red sisters recognized that their previous purpose was obsolete. Instead, they fell back onto another reason for their existance, hunting Darkfriends. Even so, the Ajah weakend quickly, now distrusted by most members of the Towers. As a means to recreate harmony, and save the White Tower's largest Ajah, a former Amyrlin and M'hael made a change. They decreed that the Red Ajah would henceforth be known as the Red Shen, and that it would admit both men and women. However, they were only admitted in pairs, one man and one woman, their only purpose is to hunt out and destroy Darkfriends.

The Towers created their harmony quickly, even if in the years immediately after the Asha'man arrived it was a bit forced. Two hundred years have passed since the Dragon Reborn left to fight Tarmon Gaidon, and there has been no word on the state of the battle, most people take that to mean that it is not yet finished, and continue to wait. The current Amyrlin was raised as part of a pair from the Red Shen, and has been in power several years, but recently the M'hael disappeared. He has been replaced by the former Mahdi al'Tain, a wise and fair leader for the Black Tower. They have further fused the Towers, and work to keep the public opinion of channelers positive. Asha'man are no longer feared, but respected as equal to Aes Sedai, both in the world and in the Towers.
