In one Age, called the Fourth Age by some, an Age yet to come, an Age long past, a wind rose in the Land of the Crystal Throne. It sped across the great Aryth Ocean to the Tai’Seanchan coast. It continued over the Mountains of Mist, picking up the scent of Two Rivers fine tabac and singing along to a tune made by a Tinker’s tea kettle. It swirled around the vast prairie known as the Caralain Grass, with it’s Black Tower fortress, and the island city of Tar Valon, home of the fabled Ogier-made White Tower...The wind swept through the valleys, skimming along the lake that once was Shadar Logoth, lifting the raven in flight. It howled through the Blight past the snorts and bellows of Trollocs, carrying on it the stench of their cookpots and rot as it whipped by a Myrddraal without creating so much as a ripple in its dark cloak. If you listen closely to the wind you can hear the sound of “friends” whispering in the dark as it whistles by you. The shadows beckon you to their warm embrace; where will the wind take you? For you must know, the wind was not the beginning. There are neither beginnings nor endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time. But it was A beginning.
Andor is a country in the heart of the Westlands. It is the most populous country in the West. After the Borderlands and Tai'Seanchan, it also has the largest and most well-trained army. It is governed by a feudal monarchy, where the main power rests in the Queen that sits on the Lion Throne and nineteen major noble houses.

Arad Doman is located in the northwest of the Westlands, lying between the Mountains of Mist and the Aryth Ocean. The King is elected by the Council of Merchants, comprised mostly of women. The throne is never inherited. Before Tarmon Gaidon, the Council was the true power of governance while the King was merely a figurehead. Rodel Ituralde changed that during his reign. He forged equal standing and responsibilities for the Throne and the Council.

Home of the Black Tower, Caralain covers an area of plains lying almost in the exact center of the Westlands, roughly equidistant from the Great Blight, the Aryth Ocean, the Spine of the World and the Sea of Storms. Officially it is under the rule of the Black Tower, but the day to day is managed by a village council and a women's circle, elected democratically.

Murandy (pronounced: MEW-ran-dee) is a small nation located in hilly countryside with much larger neighbors on three sides. It has a history of border disputes with its larger neighbor to the north, Andor. The various bands of outlaws headed by a handful of leaders finally usurped the monarchy. These leaders have been termed "robber barons" by outsiders, simply the Barons within the organizations. Now the Barons rule trade and the majority of Murandy via figurehead nobles.

Tar Valon (pronounced: TAHR VAH-lon; /ˈtɑɹ vəˈlɒːn), home to the White Tower, has expanded to reclaim its lost glory since the Breaking of the World, with a swathe of land to rival any nation in the world. Maps now mark out the boundaries of Tar Valon’s rule to an extent very similar to that prior to the Trolloc Wars, and effective Aes Sedai administration has led to the country becoming one of the most populous and advanced among the Dragon Pact.

Manetheren is a geographically fortified region in the mid-western portion of the Westlands. It is ruled by a newly founded monarchy, which is balanced by regional councils. The nation maintains strong ties, politically and by blood, with neighboring Andor, and to a lesser degree, Cairhien. Many, especially long established nobility, think of Manetheren as a bit backward, or uncivilized.
