Hah. Well put. *NM* beetnemesis Send a noteboard - 04/11/2012 08:04:39 PM
You cannot be an Aes Sedai unless you pass a test which makes you choose between, on one side, the evidence provided by all your senses, your memories and experience, and occam's razor, not to mention any sense of loyalty or responsibility you may have, and on the other side a voice in your head saying "The way back will come but once. Be steadfast."

Unless you are willing to forsake all evidence to obey that voice in your head, you will never survive the test for Acceptance.

And then they make an Ajah dedicated to reason out of the subset of women who passed this test.

The result of this? In The Gathering Storm Ferane, the 'First Reasoner' and a Sitter for the White Ajah, with two other Sisters of the White Ajah, get slapped around, 3-on-1, by a 19 year old girl armed with hollow platitudes and hypocritical self-serving preaching.
I amuse myself.

What Ajah would you choose? - 03/11/2012 01:37:37 AM 1104 Views
I do not like the current women-only Ajah system. I prefer the ajahs of the AoL. - 03/11/2012 03:06:30 AM 946 Views

Don't worry, you can still do all that as a Blue. *NM* - 03/11/2012 03:53:18 PM 389 Views

White always seemed more of a byproduct of White Tower life, as opposed to a purpose for the AS - 04/11/2012 12:08:11 AM 920 Views
The White Ajah is inherently sabotaged by the White Tower. - 04/11/2012 12:55:10 AM 914 Views
Excellent point - 04/11/2012 09:13:25 AM 806 Views

they all suck, I'd probably go for Grey though as it seems to suck the least - 03/11/2012 10:04:00 PM 915 Views
