Description

The Wheel of Time turns, and ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legends fade to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. In one Age, called the third age by some, an Age yet to come, an age long past, a man appeared who called himself Dragon…

This LARP takes place five hundred years before the events of the Wheel of Time novels. Its setting is the White Tower, the center of power of the Aes Sedai, the society of female magic users. The game centers around the politics of three nearby countries: Shienar, a Borderland kingdom; Hardan, a small kingdom to the south of Shienar; and Cairhien, Hardan’s southern neighbor.

This game involves political negotiation and feelings for almost all players, and puzzles and tactical combat for some. Knowledge of the Wheel of Time novels is not required, and some suspension of disbelief is necessary for people who have read the books.
