==General==
The War of the Hundred Years was a series of wars and battles between shifting alliances that lasted over a century following [[Artur Hawkwing]]'s death. It led to the collapse of his empire and the creation of the nations of the New Era. during this time, many nations were set up and broke apart until stability returned in around FY 1117. The destruction of this time was so great that the true year of the end of the struggles was not certain, and a new calendar, the [[Farede Calendar]] was devised.

Just after the end of the war, twenty four nations remained, [[Almoth]], [[Altara]], [[Amadicia]], [[Andor]], [[Arad Doman]], [[Arafel]], [[Cairhien]], [[Caralain]], [[Ghealdan]], [[Goaban]], [[Hardan]], [[Illian]], [[Irenvelle]], [[Kandor]], [[Kintara]], [[Mar Haddon]], [[Maredo]], [[Malkier]], [[Mosara]], [[Murandy]], [[Saldaea]], [[Shienar]], [[Tear]] and [[Tarabon]].  Some of these, such as Andor, were largely based on provinces under Arur Hawkwing, others, such as Ghealdan had almost exactly the same borders as the land that occupied the area before Artur Hawkwing (in this case [[Dhowlan]]).
==Quotes==
"There were those who would have erased even the memory of him, if they could. Books were burned just because they mentioned his name. In the end there was nothing left of him but the stories, and most of them wrong. That's what his glory came to.

The fighting didn't stop, of course, just because the Hawkwing and his kin were dead. There was still a throne to be won, and every lord and lady who could muster fighting men wanted it. It was the beginning of the War of the Hundred Years. Lasted a hundred and twenty-three, really, and most of the history of that time is lost in the smoke of burning towns. Many got a part of the land, but none got the whole, and sometime during those
years the statue was pulled down. Maybe they couldn't stand measuring themselves against it any longer" ([[Elyas]] to [[Egwene]] and [[Perrin]], {{teotw2|Chapter 29}}
