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. [Smile]

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]
