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.
Current Events
The Air Legion's responsibilities are vast, essential, and occasionally unnoticed. They are the diplomatic arm of the Black Tower, serving as ambassadors, messengers, and, occasionally, spies. They act as advisers where requested, primarily throughout the Borderlands, and serve to advance the Black Tower’s interests throughout the world. The Black Tower’s communication network is also their purview: a mess of semi-permanent Gateways, messengers, and messenger birds overseen by the Air Legion allows extremely rapid communication throughout the entirety of the Westlands. Their primary responsibility, as a diplomatic powder keg, is the Tai’Seanchan front.
In addition, select Asha’man serve as spies, trained to recover and reveal information that even traditional networks of eyes and ears might fail to uncover. This is a closely held secret, known only at the War Council level or by Asha’man recruited into their clandestine trade. They are delployed to particularly hard to reach areas such as the Tai’Seanchan front and the Seanchan continent.
As the Black Tower’s diplomats, they are well acquainted with the Aes Sedai of the White Tower. Mutually beneficial ties exist between the Brown and White Ajahs and the Air and Spirit Legions, while the Gray and the Air have a relationship that can vary between cooperative and adversarial. As a result of the Delegation and the Bonding Ceremony, both the Gray and the Air have been forced to work closely with one another on logistics on a large scale, which is something of a rarity.
