About the adventure
We begin during the events of Book 5: The Fires of Heaven. Players will portray major canon characters at a pivotal turning point in the story. From that moment forward, the Pattern shifts. The original narrative no longer holds. Alliances may fracture. Battles may end differently. Prophecies may bend—or break. This is an alternate-timeline campaign grounded fully in canon lore, tone, factions, and metaphysics, but driven entirely by player agency. Expect: • Political tension within and beyond the White Tower • Aiel war councils and shifting clan loyalties • Forsaken interference escalating in unexpected ways • The Seanchan threat evolving differently • The Dragon Reborn choosing a new path The world remains faithful to the source material—but the story becomes ours. The Wheel weaves as the Wheel wills… unless you change it.

About me
I like to learn new RPGs and systems so picking up a new game type is easy and enjoyable. I prefer open world type DMing based on the players backstories and play preferences. I never liked railroaded scenarios or DMs that ignored the actual players. That is why I got into DMing. I like to create open worlds when I can and do use or start from premade scenerios sometimes but like to create the world.

Players will take on major POV characters active during Book 5, such as: • Rand al’Thor • Egwene al’Vere • Mat Cauthon • Perrin Aybara • Nynaeve al’Meara • Moiraine Damodred • Elayne Trakand • Aviendha Additional characters may be available upon discussion. Each character will be mechanically adapted to reflect their narrative power level at this stage of the series.
