Site basis: The Dragon Reborn planned and trained for the Last Battle for several years. When he realized that it was very close, he and his closest allies made a decision. Rather than fight the Last Battle in this world, they chose to take their army into an uninhabited world via PortalStone and fight there, to avoid the devastation the war would bring, even if they won. Al'Thor's last wish before he left was that the Black and White Towers would make peace, there being no more reason for strife after saidin was cleansed. According to their leader's wish, the Asha'man moved their stronghold from Andor to Tar Valon. Once there, they erected a grand Tower, as tall as the White, again using both the Power and Ogier. This new tower, though, was jet black, rising next to the ivory home of the Aes Sedai. The Towers began to accept women into the ranks of Gaidin as well as men. They trained side by side, each earning their title as the fabled Gaidin.

After the Asha'man made their home in Tar Valon, they became far more accepted and trusted by the world, eventually becoming equal to Aes Sedai in political power. They created three Shens for their brotherhood, much like the Ajahs of Aes Sedai, each Shen under the rule of a publicly-known Rei. After the cleansing, the Red sisters recognized that their previous purpose was obsolete. Instead, they fell back onto another reason for their existance, hunting Darkfriends. Even so, the Ajah weakend quickly, now distrusted by most members of the Towers. As a means to recreate harmony, and save the White Tower's largest Ajah, a former Amyrlin and M'hael made a change. They decreed that the Red Ajah would henceforth be known as the Red Shen, and that it would admit both men and women. However, they were only admitted in pairs, one man and one woman, their only purpose is to hunt out and destroy Darkfriends.

The Towers created their harmony quickly, even if in the years immediately after the Asha'man arrived it was a bit forced. Two hundred years have passed since the Dragon Reborn left to fight Tarmon Gaidon, and there has been no word on the state of the battle, most people take that to mean that it is not yet finished, and continue to wait. The current Amyrlin was raised as part of a pair from the Red Shen, and has been in power several years, but recently the M'hael disappeared. He has been replaced by the former Mahdi al'Tain, a wise and fair leader for the Black Tower. They have further fused the Towers, and work to keep the public opinion of channelers positive. Asha'man are no longer feared, but respected as equal to Aes Sedai, both in the world and in the Towers.

Current plots:
The War of the Westlands!
After 200 years of relative and unprecedented peace, the Westlands are crumbling as they have not since the time of the Dragon Reborn. Nations make alliances, and as war breaks out between two, suddenly alliances cause the whole of the Westlands to be caught up in a fierce war. Darkfriends on one side, led by one of the Forsaken, and the Towers scrambling to stop the escalating tension before it turns to a bloodbath on all sides, but they are not succeeding. There is even a whisper that the Amyrlin herself has betrayed the Towers and sold power touched weapons to enemies of the Towers.
