All in all, The Wheel of Time would be nothing without its Aes Sedai.In the world of The Wheel of Time, only women are capable of accessing what is called the One Power: the energy capable of manipulating the universe. The One Power comes from the True Source, which is essentially the source of creation and the energy that turns the Wheel of Time. The True Source has two sides that turn the wheel through both opposition and cooperation. These two sides are known as saidin, or the male side, and saidar, or the female side. Saidin, however, is known as being wild and violent and was “tainted” many years ago. While the energy of saidin itself remains pure, this taint has to be passed through when trying to reach saidin and is known to corrupt men and drive them mad. Women who can wield the One Power are called channelers, but only a chosen few are trained rigorously at the White Tower with the chance to become an Aes Sedai, which means “Servant of All” in what is called the Old Tongue. Since saidar doesn’t have a taint, women can safely channel.The Wheel of Time is Becoming More Popular Than Game of ThronesLiandrin Sedai’s True Motives in The Wheel of Time
