(shawn-chan) Seanchan are descendants of the armies of Artur Hawkwing, the True High King. They have existed in their Empire across the Aryth Ocean for centuries, their culture and way of life growing to something vastly different from that found in the former countries of Artur's Empire. Now, as they promised long ago, they are returning to the lands of their Forefathers to reclaim what should never have been lost. Little is known for sure of the Seanchan except rumors. Their armor and strange creatures inspire fear in those that see them, and very few escape swearing their Oaths: To Obey the Forerunners, Await the Return, and Serve those who come home. Seanchan regard all those who do not obey their Oaths as enemies. Fearsome stories of how they take prisoner any woman able to channel, no matter how small the amount, and their ruthlessness in dealing punishment to those who oppose them are gradually spreading throughout the countries of the land. Recently, the Seanchan Empire has engaged in a concerted effort to retake the continent from which the Empire's rulers' ancestors hailed. This campaign is known as the Corenne in the Old Tongue or simply the Return. The Seanchan made their first attempt in The Great Hunt, when the Hailene seized the city of Falme and surrounding lands, but were driven back. Later, the Seanchan were successful in taking Tarabon, then continued their advance, taking Amadicia and Altara. They were finally halted in when the forces of Rand al'Thor, the Dragon Reborn, fought their invasion of Illian to a standstill.
