Mesaana Unlike many of the people who would eventually become known as the Forsaken
, Saine Tarasind was not among the best in her profession. Saine harbored dreams of becoming a researcher since she had been very young. But she was turned down for a research position at Collam Daan;
she ended up teaching there instead. Rather than making discoveries, she found
herself teaching about the discoveries of others. Unfulfilled, Saine turned to the Shadow. Mesaana proved herself an adequate
general, but was brilliant as a governor of conquered territory. Her administrations were efficient, and she started schools which taught children to
spy and report on each other. These same children were encouraged to destroy museums and other sources of ancient knowledge. It was important to root up and obliterate the old order, in
preparation of the Dark One’s triumph. Since her release... Since her release from the long sleep, Mesaana has placed herself in the White Tower. Her
exact identity and purpose there, though, remain a mystery. |
