When the Bore was drilled into a place outside the Pattern, a dark
presence used the opening to touch the world. This presence, which named
itself Shai'tan, had been imprisoned outside of time and creation by the
Creator of the universe. Although the dark presence is something beyond
the mortal realm and outside our complete understanding, one mortal word
seems to embody Shai'tan -- "evil." Since his first touch, he has been
known by many names, though most commonly as the Dark One. He is known as
the Great Lord of the Dark by those who follow him truly.
Ishamael, also known as Baalzamon, was the Great Lord's top
Captain-General. When the Great Lord and his High Council were trapped
within the resealed Bore, only Baalzamon was left free. Baalzamon executed
the Great Lord's will by influencing his most loyal followers. He forced
them to combine into a clan. This clan is a task force whose job is to
bring about the Great Lord's return. Its members are known as the Children
of Baalzamon.
The Children of Baalzamon seek to bring about the return of the Great Lord
by any means necessary. If this means waging war upon the entire world,
then so be it. If it means ending world hunger to gain status and
influence, then so be it. Beyond all, the clan will never become stagnant.
It will continue to gain influence, power, or whatever is necessary to
bring about the one dream, the one nightmare, the return of the Great
Lord.
The clan has three factions: Ebony Dagger, Black Ajah, and Darkfriends.
Ebony Dagger includes the warriors and thieves whose dark whispers keep
kingdoms awake at night. Black Ajah gathers mages, clerics, and
psionicists who experiment and practice with the Dark Powers given to them
by their Master. Darkfriends are those who most desire status, influence,
and power.
