I lied. The Blue Ajah is, indeed, missing from the White Tower.
Here is what was agreed, and since I was asked to make a page, I'm assuming it's okay to publish it:
- Nation lines are as they were at the end of book 4 (to maintain diversity and fun)
- Major events are as they were at the end of book 9 (i.e. saidin cleansed, Salidar 'exists', Black Tower exists, White Tower is having problems)
- Supernatural objects (such as ter'angreal) are in their original locations and available for use if plots allow
- It's been roughly 200 years since the GT was formed (based on currently existing PC ages), and about 150 since saidin was cleansed, give or take.
- We don't have a Dragon Reborn, or if we do, he doesn't play a big part in our story
- We're probably a mirror world to the series, which is why our timelines are wonky
Other things that didn't happen in that discussion but have generally been accepted:
- Tarmon Gai'don has not happened and probably will not
- The Forsaken exist, yes you can mention them by name
- Nations are ruled by NPCs, not the characters mentioned in canon. No, we do not have a stable list of NPCs.
We are aware that some of these details don't necessarily jive with some character bios (and/or past MRPs), and we're not too concerned (edit to add- to clarify: not intending to be disrespectful to past storylines; this is simply an attempt to be as welcoming and interesting as possible). I know of at least one character who is a hundred and fifty years older than Jaryd who came from post-Seanchan Ebou Dar, while Jaryd himself is only 50 ish and Ebou Dar is still very much intact.
We've already got Rossanda Sedai from the Red Ajah. I'll play her. I think if there are four or five others with her, that would make a good group for the plot. Since this is Elaida's group, they can be from any canonical Ajah except for the Blues.
Timelines are screwy, but I'm like...98.6% certain it's there.
