Legend Fades to Myth/Quotes

Thom began to recite a tale in High Chant, so flowery it was difficult to recognize the story of Kirukan, the beautiful soldier queen of the Trolloc Wars.

"She had a temper like a boar caught in briars at the best," Birgitte said softly to no one in particular. "Not at all like anyone close by."

The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again.

—The opening to every Wheel of Time book, ever.

Only ring of roving will-o-wisps.
Lie and truth inside it ever struggle
And on their altar pours the blood of the kings.

— Blood of the Kings (from "Armageddon") by Ariya
