The Seven Ajahs
When a
woman becomes an Aes Sedai, she must choose an
Ajah. Each Ajah is devoted to a different task
and purpose. If a Sister bonds, her Warder
also becomes a member of that Ajah for the
purposes of this clan.
Blue
A member of the Blue Ajah is
dedicated to fighting for and protecting noble
causes around the world. They rarely spend
much time in the White Tower, preferring to
roam the world. A Blue is usually the first
choice when the Amyrlin has a special duty
that requires extreme bravery or challenge,
with a Green being a close second. Blues, in
their many travels, often find a great many
young women and young men who would like to go
to the Tower, or have the ability to join the
Tower. As such, they have become the
predominant recruiters of the Aes Sedai.
Brown
Brown sisters seek knowledge. In
fact, they have their nose in a book so often
that they seem to be living in another world;
however, believing that they are not listening
or paying attention to you while studying can
be a deadly mistake. Their eyes and ears must
be sharp if they are to gather information. A
Brown's duty is to maintain the clan's
website, and to discover useful information,
strategies, tactics, and statistics about the
world of Legends
Gray
The Gray Ajah are pacifists and
diplomats. They devote all their time to
promoting peace in the world and preventing
war, and since their primary goal is always
peace, they make very skilled diplomats.
However, they are not cowards, and know when
war is necessary. Because of this, Gray's are
in charge of all foreign affairs and are to
determine the time and place of clan matches.
Green
Green is the Ajah of choice for
girls at heart. They are the only Ajah that is
allowed to bond more than one Warder, and they
do so with robust, often bonding five or more!
Greens are also the only Ajah that truly falls
in love with their Warders, and it is not
uncommon for them to marry one. However, with
all those Warders, they are expected to do a
lot of service for the Tower to justify the
drain on resources. Together, a Green and her
followers are to become a fighting force unto
themselves. They are to train together and
become formidable together. This is why the
Green Ajah is often called the Battle Ajah;
they are prepared to fight when necessary, and
have the power to do so.
Red
Reds are almost the exact opposite
of Blues. Their demeanor is not of justice,
but of outright destruction. Their predominant
duty is to hunt down those that abuse their
power, and destroy them. Especially men. In
fact, Reds dislike almost all men, and never
take a Warder. A Red must be able to hold her
own in battle, since few of her fellow sisters
will fight with her except other Reds, and men
will avoid her at all costs. Also, by their
very demeanor, they make very good police for
the Tower, finding members who break the
rules.
White
White is the Ajah of logic,
philosophy, and truth. They believe that
knowledge, battle, and possessions are
unnecessary for the Light to prevail. They
show very little emotion, even compared to
other Aes Sedai, and believe that life is a
small price to pay for good. Other Aes Sedai
consider them cold and emotionless, and a pain
to be around. Their ability to think things
through thoroughly yet quickly and without
remorse makes them great battle tacticians,
and they are the most capable leaders in a
large-scale match.
Yellow
Yellows spend all their time
learning new and untried healing techniques,
and healing those who are sick. Their skills
in the art of medicine are unrivaled, and
people travel from all over the world to find
a Yellow Sister to heal diseases no one else
could. A Yellow Sister is predominantly
focused upon the defensive aspect of warfare,
and will 'hold the base,' rather than run into
the tide of battle. It is their duty to
protect those who ask for or need their
protection.
