A golden era of peace and technological marvels powered by the One Power, when men and women channelled together and Aes Sedai performed wonders. It ended when researchers bored into the Dark One's prison, beginning the War of the Shadow. The greatest achievements of this Age - Travelling, the creation of angreal and ter'angreal, and many Talents - were lost in the Breaking that followed. The Age of Legends serves as both an ideal to aspire to and a cautionary tale.
