- Three thousand years go past. The world rebuilds itself enough to have reached a technological point equivalent to the Middle Ages. There are fewer Aes Sedai than there have ever been and all Aes Sedai are female. The taint of the Dark One is still present on the male half of the One Power and so all men that show an ability to channel must either have the ability to channel removed, or be killed, for the safety of everybody in the world. However, prophecy says that one day the Dark One will find a way to free himself again and that the Dragon, a male channeler of the One Power, will be reborn to unify the nations of the world and defeat the Dark One. However, the prophecies also say that the Dragon will die in the process of defeating the Dark One. | - Three thousand years go past.
