Tower Coup - Aes Sedai Civil War - Wheel of Time LORE

Wizards and Warriors new animated fantasy documentary lore video will talk about the world of Wheel of Time created by the late Robert Jordan in a series concluded by Brandon Sanderson. In the first episode we will talk about the Second Age, the age of Legends, when the humanity reached the peak of its potential through the One Power of the Creator under the leadership of the Aes Sedai, and how the hubris and greed of some allowed the Dark One - Shai'tan to enter the world to corrupt it, leading to the War of Power. The Light is led by Lews Therin Telamon, the "Dragon" and his attack on the Dark One leads to the Breaking of the World (   • How the Men Broke the World - Wheel o...  ). In the aftermath of the breaking, the Aes Sedai rise to power and the humanity starts to slowly rebuild itself, until Ishamael attacks again, leading to the century-long Trolloc Wars. (   • Trolloc Wars - Wheel of Time Lore DOC...  ). In the aftermath, a number of False Dragons appeared, only to be promptly defeated. One of them was crushed by Artur Hawkwing Paendrag, who become the greatest conqueror of the Westlands, Alexander of that era (   • Rise of Artur Hawkwing - Alexander of...  ). With his death, his empire collapsed, leading to the founding of most of modern states. One of them- Cairhien was led by king Laman Damodred at a later date and his pride and sin led to the Aiel invasion and Aiel war, which, in turn, led to the birth of the Dragon (   • The Aiel War - Birth of the Dragon - ...  ). The Dragon Reborn returned and with that the world gained hope to survive the incoming Last Battle - Tarmon Gai'don. Moiraine Damodred and Lan Mandragoran were looking for him and found him in the Two Rivers region - a shepherd Rand al'Thor. Together with his friends Mat Cauthon, Perrin Aybara, Egwene Al'vere, Nynaeve Al'meara, they went to the Eye of the World, seemingly to fight the Dark One, leading to the battle of Tarwin's Gap (   • The Dragon Reborn Returns - Wheel of ...  ). The march of the dragon continued with the battles of Falme, where he fought the Seanchan invaders and the stone of Tear, which he conquered with the help of the Aiel (   • Battles of Falme and Tear - Wheel of ...  ). To strengthen his grip on the Aiel, he traveled to the Wastes, which led to the civil war within the clans and the siege of Cairhien (   • Siege of Cairhien - Wheel of Time Lor...  ). Elsewhere, Perrin Aybara was forced to fight the battle of Emond's Field to defend his home (   • Battle of Emond's Field - Wheel of Ti...  ), and then rescue Rand, the Dragon in Danger during the Battle of Dumai's Wells (   • Battle of Dumai's Wells - Dragon in D...  ), and the rebels led by Elaida enacted a Tower Coup leading to the Aes Sedai Civil War.
