Spokes of a Wheel

[Aiden Finnegan]

The idea I've got brewing is a faction of Aes Sedai and Asha'man pushing for a unification of the two Towers (in some form or another.) All for various reasons, but they all talk about the wonders of the AoL and the only way to reach those heights is for the two halves to work together once more. It's obviously not as simple as that, what with politics and age-old institutions, so they are met with their fair share of pitfalls and opposition... And that's about as far as I've gotten with that. I wouldn't mind doing a 2nd age story about the founding of the Hall of Servants, but I'd rather not touch early or mid 2nd age because of our main story's setting.

Other 4th age ideas brewing... The turning of the wheel to the 5th age (What if Seanchan fell to male channelers [assuming Mat and Tuon reunified the land] and they kicked off the God-King worship?) Shara (WTF are the nations to do with Shara after the LB? They sided with the Shadow, but they were also duped by Demandred. They were not a part of the Dragon's Peace. Do they get wiped out by the nations or do they try to continue on? Are they the reason we have God-kings in 5th age?) Steampunk (A fun twist on the future of the 4th age. We saw the beginnings of the rediscovery of steam technology in the 3rd age. We have channeling. You do the math... I'm only half serious.)

If any of these ideas tickle any of you, let me know, or if you've got some of your own.
