The Age of
Legends is really a completely different world from the
current WoT world. I think somebody should make a map of the
Age of Legends, with perhaps a few cities plotted out as well.
This could allow for missions taking place in a whole new
environment, allowing for unlimited possibilities. Anyone who
has looked for hints will find that there are many of them
showing types of geographical features, and locations of the
geographical features. One such hint is that the Sand Hills
west of the Two Rivers were once the coast of a great ocean.
Another is Whitebridge, and the two powerful statues, which
were located on land during the age of legends (Whitebridge
also spanned across a river which was in the Age of Legends.)
If anyone else has any hints that they have found while
reading the series, please convey them. I myself could sketch
a map, or if anybody else is skilled with map-making and is
interested. Please give me some feedback and
suggestions.

I hate to
say it, but I suspect I have a map of at least the landmasses
of the Age of Legends on my wall here in the office.
Jordan's world is our world. It more clear
when you look at full world maps in the Big Book of Bad Art
(The Guide to Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time). Seanchan is
North and South America. The Westlands are, IMO, essentially
western Asia. Europe and Africa sank. The land of Madmen is
Australia.

You guys
are right. I remember a while ago coming across some things
that made me realise it too. The Aiel and some other people
mentioned Shara had walls up around all of its major cities or
ooastline or something. This is China, with the Great Wall.
The Seanchan do have North and South America. They sailed
across the Atlantic to reach it. I remember they missed
drinking kaf, which is coffee, and doesn't really grow in
Randland. Emonds's Field, or at least the area there, I think
was England. The Two River's longbows seem suspiciously
similar to the English longbow. I haven't gotten to this Land
of the Madmen yet (about to start book 7 this weekend) but I
think it is Australia. The Waste and the Middle-East seem
similar. I think the Sea Folk are kind of like Africans, but
I've not seen enough of them yet, and my friends tell me that
they're more Indian in
dress/manner...

Something
to consider. . .
Was the world broken before the Age of
Legends? I think not, and the Age of Legends was set after a
civilization wipeout in our world, with no land mass
changes.

Hold on. What do you mean? Are you saying that the
Breaking of the World never happened? Oh...where did you get
that quote in your
signature?

If I remember right, he got it from book six, and it's
spoken by Mazrim Taim to the Aes Sedai at the conclusion of
Dumai's Wells ![[Smile]](Wizards_Com Boards Age of Legends map_fichiers/smile.gif)
