Just a discussion starter that I haven't seen on the board yet, but doesn't is seem like Alanna is now clearly black Ajah. I mean she convienently disapears just before Rand gains his ability to make the Dark Friends give themselves away. She was hanging around Verin in the Two rivers, who was a high up level self confessed black. Alanna weeps in the corner repeatedly. The only other A.S. I know that lacks that much self control is Sheriam who was also punished for not taking control of a lightsider that she was specifically placed to influence for the Shadow. Now we have Alanna who is probably being punished for a failure of getting in bed with Rand or at least staying close. Thoughts?
