The Eye Of The World
Back

The Eye is a pool of the pure essence of Saidin, usuable only by a man. It was made during the first days of the Breaking by one hundred Aes Sedai men and women working together. They died in the making of it, but they insured its purity despite the taint. The Green Man was given the task of guarding it against the need to come, for they knew that they would not survive to guard it.
