Narrative:	The Wheel of Time tells of a world where time passes 
		in Ages, and time is circular.  Once again the Dark 
		One(Orange), or Shai'tan, is touching the world.  There 
		is war everywhere, and his minions, Trollocs and 
		Myrrdraal, terrorize the land.  It is a world of magic,
		and the magic is called the One Power.  There are male 
		and female sides of this One Power, saidar for the 
		women and saidin for the men.  Use of this power is 
		called channeling.  
		The Dark One has been imprisoned in Shayol Ghul since
		the beginning of time by the Creator.  There came a 
		time when a hole was bored into that prison by his 
		followers, called Darkfriends, and the Dark One touched
		the world.  A man of the time named Lews Therin, who 
		was very strong in the One Power, caught the Dark One 
		and his followers who could channel, called the 
		Forsaken, and sealed them in Shayol Ghul using seven 
		seals.  This Lews Therin became known as the Dragon.  
		However, sealing the prison caused saidin to become 
		tainted, and thus every man who could channel went mad.
		Lews Therin killed everyone he loved, then killed 
		himself.  A mountain was created in the place where he 
		died, and that mountain was named Dragonmount.  The 
		Prophecies of the Dragon said that the Dragon would be
		reborn on the slopes of Dragonmount.   
		Rand Al'Thor(Blue) was born on the slopes of 
		Dragonmount, beside his dead mother, a Maiden of the 
		Spear, and an Aiel.  He was taken in by Tam Al'Thor of
		the Two Rivers, who raised him as his own.  He met an
		Aes Sedai named Moiraine, who discovered that he, along
		with his friends Mat(Green) and Perrin(Blue), was
		ta'veren.  All lives are woven into a Pattern, 
		and ta'veren, unlike regular people, are able to 
		determine the way their thread is woven.  They send 
		ripples out through the Pattern, and change the world.
		With Moiraine, Rand begins to learn that he can
		channel, and that he is the Dragon Reborn.  He also 
		learns that only four of the seven seals hold, and the
		Dark One is breaking free.  He can hear the voice of 
		Lews Therin Kinslayer in his head, and believes he 
		borders on the brink of madness.  He must hang on, 
		for his destiny is to defeat the Forsaken who have 
		escaped their prison because the seals are breaking,
		and then fight Tarmon Gaidon, the Last Battle, and
		defeat the Dark One.  If he fails, the Wheel of Time 
		will be broken and the Shadow will fall over the land 
		forever.  Also, he is torn between his love for Min, 
		Elayne Trakand, Daughter-Heir of Andor, and 
		Aviendha(Green) of the Nine Valleys Sept of the Taardad
		Aiel.  Whitecloaks, or Children of the Light, hold 
		Elayne's mother, Queen Morgase of Andor, prisoner.  
		They are led by Eamon Valda(Purple).  In addition to 
		this, the descendents of a great king, Artur Hawkwing, 
		have finally returned from across the Aryth Ocean, and 
		are attempting to retake the land.  They are called the
		Seanchan (Red).  Rand's other enemies are the 
		Shaido(Yellow), Aiel who refuse to accept the fact that
		they have not always followed their war-like ways, but
		rather were a peace-loving people, refusing to defend 
		themselves, even should their lives be in danger.  The 
		End of the World draws near.  Who will triumph?
