The Strike at Shayol Ghul

by Robert Jordan

Foreword by Robert Jordan

Sometimes fans ask me whether I mean to write prequels to The Wheel of Time. While some requests are

for books about The Trolloc Wars or the rise and fall of the High King, Artur Hawking, or the life

histories of various characters, the most frequent are for books about the AOL and its end in the War of

the Power, and the most often asked question is, I believe, "Why, when the greatest feats of the Age of

Legends were done by men and women working together with the One Power, was the final attack on

Shayol Ghul carried out by men alone?" At present I do not intend to write any of those books, but I

won't say that a story or two might not creep out eventually. I do not normally do short fiction. My editor

claims that for me, a short story means fifty thousand words. As for the question, though...I hope that

those fans (and the rest of you) will be satisfied for the time with what follows, a fictional bit of

"non-fiction," a piece from an Age called the Third Age by some, an Age yet to come, an Age long past...

(A version of this will be included in An Illustrated Guide to The Wheel of Time, which will appear from

Tor in 1997.)

The Strike at Shayol Ghul

(A Preliminary Introduction)

By the Blessing of the Light,

Queen of Kandor,

Protector of the Land,

Shield of the North,

High Seat of House Materasu.

One of the most important finds of recent years, perhaps since the Breaking, is a partial copy of no less

than a history of the world from the drilling of the Bore into the Dark One's Prison to the End of the

Breaking of the world. The original apparently dated from early in the First Century A.B. Despite the

extreme paucity of material from the entire first millennium after the Breaking, we can only be thankful

that the art of printing survived the Breaking of the World when so much else did not, and was indeed

practiced to some extent during the Breaking itself, though under severe and restricted conditions.

Considering the widespread destruction of The Trolloc Wars and the War of the Hundred Years, which

although far less than the near totality of the Breaking still saw cities, nations, and far worse, knowledge,
