General

The Light is the generic name given to those who oppose the Dark One. Unlike the Shadow, there is no unified structure and there exists several disparate groups. These groups, such as Aes Sedai and Children of the Light, often oppose each other as strongly as they oppose the Shadow. During the War of the Shadow however, there was such a structure, under the command of the Aes Sedai.
