The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. In one Age, called the Third Age by some, an Age yet to come, and Age long past, a wind rose...
[/size][/font][/left]---The Gathering Storm is a new Wheel of Time RPG set before Robert Jordan's first novel, The Eye of the World. Our focus, to begin with, is not on the Dragon Reborn, but on the the vast empire the Children of the Light have established in Jordan's world and the struggles of a once free people under this new rule. The Aes Sedai are one of many prominent groups chafing beneath the heavy hand of the Whitecloaks, with whispers of a possible war between the two factions ghosting through the streets of Tar Valon.
The setting of the board is essentially medieval (With several added qualities, of course), which allows those who have not read the books freedom and some leeway. It is not required that you read the series, though it does greatly facilitate understanding.
This website possesses an intermediate to advanced level of writing atmosphere, with a 250 word limit per IC (In character) post, to ensure quality of the threads and storyline. The content of the board ranges from PG-13 to Mature rated material. As well, most threads will move at a fairly quick pace, averaging one to two responses a day, depending upon the circumstances.
The staff is fun and very active, reachable by PM or any instant messaging program almost nightly. We as a group have decided upon some newer (And hopefully exciting) additions to the WoT world, but we’re always open to ideas and suggestions.
