GLOSSARY-
Aes Sedai
Wielders of the One Power. Since the Time of Madness, all surviving Aes Sedai
are women. Widely distrusted and feared, even hated, they are blamed by many
for the Breaking of the World and are generally thought to meddle in the affairs
of nations.
Breaking of the World
When Lews Therin Telamon and the Hundred Companions resealed the Dark One's
prison, the counterstroke tainted SAIDIN. Eventually every male Aes Sedai went
horribly insane. In their madness these men, who could wield the One Power to
a degree now unknown, changed the face of the earth. They caused many global
disasters. This destruction is remembered everywhere as the Breaking of the
World.
Dragon, the
The name by which Lews Therin Telamon was known during the War of the Shadow.
In the madness which overtook all male Aes Sedai, Lews Therin killed every living
person who carried any of his blood, as well as everyone he loved, thus earning
the name Kinslayer.
Dragon Reborn, the
According to prophecy and legend the Dragon will be born again at mankind's
greatest hour of need to save the world. This is not something people look forward
to, both because the prophecies say the Dragon Reborn will bring a new Breaking
to the world, and because Lews Therin Kinslayer, the Dragon, is a name to make
men shudder, even after more than three thousand years after his death.
False Dragons
Occasionally men claim to be the Dragon Reborn, and sometimes one of them gains
enough followers to require an army to put him down. Some have begun wars that
involved many nations. Over the centuries most have been men unable to channel
the One Power, but a few could. All, however, either disappeared, or were captured
or killed, without fulfilling any of the Prophecies concerning the Rebirth of
the Dragon. These men are called False Dragons.
One Power, the
The power drawn from the True Source. The vast majority of people are completely
unable to learn to channel the One Power. Since the Time of Madness, no man
has been able to channel the Power without eventually going completely, horribly
mad; and then, even if he has learned some control, he will die from a wasting
sickness which causes the sufferer to rot alive- a sickness caused, as is the
madness, by the Dark One's taint on SAIDIN.
Saidar
The female half of the True Source.
Saidin
The male half of the True Source. It is tainted by the Dark One.
