View original postTrue. I like the idea that they are the ones who end up overseeing Tar Valon. Though that would only apply to some Ajahs, like Gray or Yellow. Can't see the Greens or the Reds taking up civil service.

View original postor Blues ... they seem to be the most politically involved in general and possibly some Browns who already administer the Tower Libraries so it's not too much of a stretch to see some that might administer the City too. Whites seem as unlikely as Greens or Reds IMO

I imagine a White would be an interesting choice. They would be the ones to discover economic theory (or maybe the Browns who look at historical accounts). Supply and demand curves for goods, prices at the TV markets and so on. These could be interesting to a logician.

I never understood why the Blue is the second smallest ajah after White. You'd think that their political tilt would make them the largest..

I can see how this would keep a woman from attaining the Shawl darius_sedai - 14/10/2016 03:00:32 PM 960 Views

Well the Seanchan. even more than the Aiel, are a completely alien culture Cannoli - 19/10/2016 12:09:01 AM 1048 Views

Possible, yet we know there are also "arms men" throughout every nobles lands darius_sedai - 19/10/2016 04:38:39 AM 988 Views

I think politics keeps women away from the Blue darius_sedai - 18/10/2016 10:20:50 PM 936 Views

I think it's RJ's gender commentary - Blue are ambitious, which is not a stereotypical female trait Cannoli - 19/10/2016 02:57:51 AM 1151 Views

By and large agree ... more thoughts on this tomorrow when I'm in front of my computer, on iPad now *NM* darius_sedai - 19/10/2016 05:19:20 AM 457 Views

I guess that's my issue with it darius_sedai - 20/10/2016 09:53:38 PM 1045 Views

Technically men would only be a threat up to a certain age(which they should know) unless trained.. Dunstan - 21/10/2016 08:47:20 AM 1185 Views

Male sparkers can spark as late as 30 or so darius_sedai - 21/10/2016 03:16:26 PM 949 Views

Comparative to joining the Red is how I meant that darius_sedai - 21/10/2016 03:22:46 PM 957 Views

The Seanchan are not a military culture. That's why they are so good at it. Cannoli - 19/10/2016 12:21:36 AM 960 Views

Forget the "locals"... IIRC Aes Sedai have kids "rarely" not "never". Dunstan - 14/10/2016 06:40:56 AM 924 Views

Another good point! darius_sedai - 14/10/2016 03:28:44 PM 882 Views

... Oh! I get it it now. The Tower likely just sends sisters out of the city to have their kids. lol Dunstan - 14/10/2016 04:38:30 PM 939 Views

I think the numbers of Aes Sedai mothers really are very very low, or secret Cannoli - 15/10/2016 01:10:11 AM 1172 Views
