Thanks!  Hope it was enlightening.  

The BOND bracelets give me chills.  Awesome, awesome.  I find the origins of potential ter'angreal fascinating!  I imagine the first makers of the Objects of the Power were very scientifically minded.

I am in awe of the amount of time, effort, planning and money this project took to complete.  Great job guys.  I look forward to reading the interview!

I've been fascinated by the philosophy of the Ages with my first reading of Eye of the World.  So fascinated, in fact, that I have constructed an entire website dedicated to the idea!!  Its a play by post RP forum set in the First Age, defined as the Age before the Age of Legends.

In this revolution of the wheel, the ages break down as thus:

2nd Age - Age of Legends

3rd Age - Age of Illusions (the WoT books)

4th Age - the Age of Heroes (post Last Battle peace and prosperity)

5th Age - the Age of Gods (channelers are worshiped like deities) 

6th Age - the Age of Escape (the horrors of the godwars, channeler is eradicated)

7th Age - the Age of Industry (A channeler free world, civilizations emerge)

1st Age - the Age of Awakening (rebirth of channelers, the "gods" of our mythology)

Much more detail about the events in each Age in this particular revolution of the Wheel may be viewed on http://thefirstage.org/ages !  

So the question becomes, what happens between the 1st and 2nd Ages to eradicate all notion of war and crime, and channelers, the Aes Sedai, come to be revered, honorable servants of humanity?!?  How do the Aiel come to serve them so wholeheartedly in return?  Who were the people who wrote the Prophecies of the Dragon?  There is so much to discover in The First Age!!
