Location from The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan
A wealthy nation that banned channeling and denied the Dragon's prophecies — until the Dragon walked into the Stone of Tear and proved them all wrong.
Tear was unique in its rejection of Aes Sedai and prophecy — the High Lords banned channeling and denied that the Dragon would be Reborn. They maintained this position right up until Rand took the Stone of Tear, which the prophecies said could not fall until the Dragon came. Their denial transformed into immediate, pragmatic acceptance.
Low-lying marshlands and rich river deltas supporting agriculture and trade. The nation is hot, humid, and prosperous. Tear's wealth comes from trade and the oil produced from its olive groves.
