Profession: Aes-sedai help for aes-sedai
One of the unique, and special aspects of EotW is the
fact that we have channelers and the One Power. A
channeler is a person who has the ability to channel
in them. This ability, the 'spark' as it is called, is
very rare to have.
When the One Power was tainted by the Dark One, when
Lews Therin Telamon led the Hundred Companions to seal
the bore in the Dark One's prison, the male side of
the One Power, saidin, was tainted. With the taint,
the men went crazy and destroyed the world as we knew
it, a period which was called the 'Breaking of the World'
After many hundreds of years, when mankind was no
longer like the animals, one of the old organizations
from the old days, known as the 'Age of Legends' was
still alive and thriving. They were called Aes Sedai.
The only difference was, that now there were no more
male Aes Sedai, because they were too dangerous, since
the taint on the One Power was still there. So the
only remnant of organized channelers were the female
Aes Sedai.
Currently, Rand al'Thor has been gathering all men with
the spark to channel and has been teaching them, in
some rumoured farm, how to channel. They are called
the Asha'man, an organization for men to learn to
channel and to try to live a normal life, even with
the taint of Saidin.
As someone born with the spark, you can choose to
join one of these two organizations, or you can be
what is called a wilder. This is someone with less
skill and power in the power, but their whole purpose
in life, as opposed to Aes Sedai or Asha'man, is not
the One Power. So as a wilder, you can have another
profession under your belt.
