until a mysterious woman called Moiraine showed up, followed shortly thereafter by an attack by ( to them) mythical monsters. Some three thousand years later, in the story's modern day, a trio of young men - Farm Boy Rand, Guile Hero Mat, and The Blacksmith Perrin - were living out their lives in a small village. Eventually, mankind rebuilt itself, but never regained its former glory. All male Aes Sedai went insane, as would all male channelers thereafter, and brought civilization crashing down by each becoming a Person of Mass Destruction and committing a World Sundering or three. Lews Therin Telamon, " the one called Dragon", managed to successfully re-seal the Lord of the Grave's prison (and trap its powerful generals, "the Forsaken") with a makeshift cork, but not before the Father of Lies poisoned saidin. Long story short, Hilarity Ensues, if by "hilarity" one means "death, war, and blood". Bad news: "it" was the Dark One, the embodiment of pure evil, and the attempt to dig a hole to its prison just broke it open. Therefore, back in the Age of Legends, Aes Sedai scientists had an interest in finding and accessing a source of magic that could be channeled by both genders. Saidin and saidar are Polar Opposite Twins, but male and female channelers working together have always achieved the best results. Then the Creator walked away and just let the whole thing spin. In the beginning, the Creator made the universe, which consisted of: the Wheel of Time, which spins the tapestry of the ages with the people's lives as its threads the One Power, a Background Magic Field which drives the Wheel and is divided into male and female halves, saidin and saidar respectively and a prison for the Dark One so that he could not influence creation. Available online and in the Unfettered III anthology.
