1000 NE was in many ways a turning point within the Westlands. 
The Borderlands having fallen to a concentrated campaign from 
the Shadow, its people driven from their homes in large numbers. 
The Seanchan, invaders from western lands across the Aryth 
Ocean, finally cemented their foothold in Arad Doman and Tarabon 
after years of dealing with rebellions. And, worst of all, the 
man who was thought to be the Dragon Reborn was proven to be 
a False Dragon, and an assembly of the rulers of these lands, 
the Amyrlin Seat and Hall of the White Tower included, turned 
into a bloodbath before finally he was stopped.

New rulers have been selected, and the White Tower's new Hall 
has chosen a new Amyrlin Seat. The Borderlanders have gathered 
into a fledgling alliance based in lands to the north of Andor, 
on a reclaimed city they call Gamael. Cairhien, though still 
racked by a multi-sided civil war and bands of mad channelers, 
seems on the way to recovery with the establishment of a 
Black Tower. Though the Seanchan Empire has suffered a blow, 
the Empress having relocated to Tarabon's capital of Tanchico 
after Seandar was seized by rebels, it too is growing more 
powerful with Arad Doman and Tarabon having finally being 
admitted into the Empire as full provinces.

But the threat posed by the Shadow cannot be forgotten, with 
the occasional raid being the least of the worries of the 
inhabitants of this land. In this time, heroes and heroines are 
needed for the Light's only hope rests in everyone doing their 
best to repel the many threats that face those opposed to the 
Dark Lord. Are you willing to do your part?
