Shayol Ghul is a mountain that is located in the Great Blight. This is where a thinness in the pattern enables the Dark One to touch the world. The Dark One was bound outside of time by the Creator at the moment of creation. And even though he seem to have godlike abilities, there is no doubt that he couldn't have broken free of his prison unaided. This evil presence goes by many names, but naming him by his true name (Shai'tan) is considered an evil curse. Shai'tan can neither be described as male nor female as such, but he is usually referred to as if he was male.

Therefore his followers travel there to commune with him and pledge their oaths to him. Propecies has foretold that Shayol Ghul is the place where the final stages of Tarmon Gai'don will take place.
