The Aes Sedai are not a race but a philosophical and societal identity shaped by one core factor: the inability to manipulate Anima. In a world ruled by Magik, they evolved into engineers, advisors, and survivors—masters of strategy over sorcery.
Their history is not just a tale of conflict but of resilience, intellect, and adaptation.
