Where Have We Been?

Author: Kyla Sterling

The Tower has stood for many years - this month, we are celebrating our 15th anniversary in California. In Internet years, that's about as long as the Tower stood in the Wheel of Time books themselves. (Millenia.) In that time, we've been many places and seen many things. Here's a timeline of Tower Parties through the Ages.
