Wheel of Time is a fantasy series by Robert Jordan. It is about the struggle between the forces of light and the forces of the Dark One. The Dragon has been reborn and it is up to him to stop the Dark One from breaking free of his prison and breaking the wheel of time. In the Wheel of Time, time is represented as a Wheel with seven spokes, each spoke an age. As the Wheel turns, Ages come and go, each leaving memories theat fade to legend, then to myth, and are forgotten by the time that Age comes again. The Pattern makes up the Wheel of Time and is made up of threads which each represent a persons life. The Pattern of an Age is slightly different each time an Age comes, and each time it is subject to greater change. The Creator made the Wheel of Time and improsined the Dark One at Shayul Ghul at the moment of creation. An attempt to free him brought about the War of the Shadow, the tainting of saidin, theBreaking of the World and the end to the Age of Legends. Only a small handful of men and women were and are able to channel, to control the flow of the one power, these people are known as Aes sedai.

In the War of the shadow the Forsaken tried to break free the Dark One. Lews Therin Telamon, The Dragon, the one who will save the world and at the same time break it, led a strike with one hundred male Aes sedai known as the Hundred Companions.The strike ended the War of the Shadow by resealing the Dark Ones prison while all thirteen Forsaken were inside thus trapping the Forsaken and the Dark one. The counterstroke from the Dark one tainted saidin, the male half of the one power, driving Lews Therin Telamon and the hundred companions insane thus beginning the time of Madness and the Breaking of the world.
