Starting Area:B7 Faction Introduction: [url]http://wot.wikia.com/wiki/Tarmon_Gai'don#Forces_of_the_Light[/url] The name of the world is unknown to most of it's own inhabitants but what is known, about the world is that it was in a state of disarray before the dragon reborn showed up on the scene, he not only united the feuding nations against the dark one and the blight, but he also managed to enter a very fragile alliance with the Seanchan in his time (One of the most powerful empires to ever exist in this world right behind Artur Hawking who they are descended from.) Now while they aren't as advanced as some nations they more than make up with it with the one power. This is the magic in the universe and it's separated into two halves. Saidar which is the female half of the one power, which is described as a loving embrace by the Aes Sedai who channel it, and Saidan or the male half of the source which is described as a fight to the death and before Rand cleansed it from the taint the dark one put on it, drove the men who channeled it insane but still males who can channel are still treated with disdain and not trusted. While there aren't many channelers about 1700 Total (both males and female) they are basically one man armies, with some of the more powerful ones being able to make use of baelfire, which is used to wipe things out of existence entirely to the point where the victim of baelfire's actions will be reversed, but it has a downside that it makes a baelscream and warps reality and time itself causing very very large problems for them so it's normally avoided. To compliment the small amount of channelers the armies of light bring with them various nations and their armies, including Mat Cauthon and the red band, and Perrin Abrydra and the wolfguard being two armies of note. The way the armies of light came into the world were through Gateways, with the armies of shadow defeated it led to a boom in technology (crossbows, and cannons called dragons. After the dragon reborn himself.) But also a lot of research into the one power and the true power (a small part of the source used by the dark one himself but very very powerful, only one the forsaken who are now dead, and Rand Al'thor can use it.) This led to research of the waygates and led to a new world. When the news came to Al'thor himself he and his armies marched through looking for someplace new to form a nation away from the after effects of the last battle. Faction Strengths: [hider=Numbers that came to Adeabis with Rand Al'Thor] 20,000 Aiel Warriors 30,000 members of the Band of the red Hand (Led by Mat Cauthon) 2,000 two rivers bowmen 1000 Mayene Lancers 900 Winged guard 2000 wolves 100 Asha'man 300 Aes Sedai (Nyneave Al'Mera-Mandorgan one of the most powerful healers alive with them) 200 Warders 500 Tower guard 3,000 Borderlanders 40,000 Dragon Legion Volunteers (10,000 have crossbows)[/hider] [hider=Reinforcments that could come from the Waygates?] 30,000 Aiel Warriors 90,000 warriors of Tear (Sellswords and the like included) 20,000 from Cairhein 80,000 from Illian 200,000 Andorians 2/3rds of which are undertrained and old. 8,000 light horses from Saleda 600 Asha'man (male channelers) 700 Aes Sedai from the white tower (from all ajah's but not as many reds with the separation before the last battle. Also led by Egewene Al'vere the Amiryln seat.) about 700 warders to protect the Aes Sedai mostly for the Green Ajah 30,000 From the legion of the dragon but 2/3rds are untrained volueenters 96,000 Borderlanders 200 "Dragon" Cannons[/hider] -as you can tell they are able to field vast numbers of troops -Strong in the use of magic, examples of their magic includes teleportation through Gateways as long as they've seen the land around it, and even using those gateways as weapons called Deathgates -Possible ability to bring reinforcements through the waygates? Faction Weaknesses: -Very ill trained troops with some seeing too many winters or some too few (Had to throw that in there don't hit me.) -A lack of channelers so they might not be able to keep up with races that can field more magic users than them -most of the nations before the dragon reborn were at each others throats and with the last battle over old rivalries can be exploited and turned against them -A lack of sophesitcated technolgy to keep up with some of the more advanced factions, Examples being the lack of flight, and gunpowder.
