I tried to wiki Wheel of Time. Seems like a futile effort with how sprawling it all looks. Can anyone help out with the basic setting for the first book; or is that a difficult question in itself?

Hmmm. Going basic without spoiling too much.
It is essentially a world where magic exists, called the One Power. There are two halves: The Male half and the Female half.
A few thousand years ago, the world was extremely technologically advanced, and a war took place against Evil.
One man, the Dragon, led the resistance against evil, but the Evil presence tainted the male half of the one power, making any man that uses it go insane. The men then destroyed the world before they could be stopped.
Now, thousands of years later, only Women can do magic safely. The evil presence is stirring and one of those women, Moiraine, believes that the Dragon has been Reborn to save the world, and is searching for him.
If he does exist, he could be the world's savior or destroyer as he goes insane.
The first book is decidedly Tolkien-esque, the rest of the sprawling series is not.
The books center on a few villagers who grow up very remote and are thrust into the center of the increasingly large world and conflicts.
