Thirteen of the most powerful channellers from the Age of Legends who swore allegiance to the Dark One in exchange for immortality. Imprisoned with the Dark One when the Bore was sealed, they were released as the seals weakened during the Third Age. Each was immensely powerful in the One Power and had spent centuries scheming against each other as much as against the forces of Light. They called themselves the Chosen. Among the most prominent were Ishamael (the Dark One's chief lieutenant), Lanfear, Moghedien, Graendal, Sammael, Rahvin, and Demandred.
