It began with the wind....


Robert Jordan's novels are a staple of fantasy now, and even though he has passed, his works live on. The world of his books is our setting, a vivid setting used as the foundation for the stories we have yet to tell. No canon characters will be found here, but rather a world anew. If you love Jordan's work and wish to put your own spin on it, or even if you just enjoy fantasy, join us in the Third Age, the Age of Winds, as the storm gathers over the land...



































C-Box Rules:
1. No excessive swearing
2. No flaming of the board or each other
3. No advertising
4. NO SPAMMING
