Grays=political power... How exactly? Dunstan Send a noteboard - 21/10/2016 08:38:07 AM

View original post
Sieran's choice seems much more logical as she appears to have chosen the Grey for reasons related to ambition rather than functional duty. this is a woman who wanted political power and saw the path to that through the Grey,

Influence, sure, but power?

The Gray's are diplomats. Sure they rub shoulders with rulers and nobles all the time... But so can pretty much any Aes Sedai who wants to. As far as obtaining personal political power in or outside the Tower... They are basically identical to every other Ajah.

I can see how this would keep a woman from attaining the Shawl darius_sedai - 14/10/2016 03:00:32 PM 929 Views

Ironically, that was a rather ill-informed comment Cannoli - 18/10/2016 11:25:44 AM 1027 Views

Well the Seanchan. even more than the Aiel, are a completely alien culture Cannoli - 19/10/2016 12:09:01 AM 1022 Views
Possible, yet we know there are also "arms men" throughout every nobles lands darius_sedai - 19/10/2016 04:38:39 AM 959 Views

I think politics keeps women away from the Blue darius_sedai - 18/10/2016 10:20:50 PM 914 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 1129 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 442 Views

I guess that's my issue with it darius_sedai - 20/10/2016 09:53:38 PM 1023 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 1156 Views
Male sparkers can spark as late as 30 or so darius_sedai - 21/10/2016 03:16:26 PM 919 Views

Comparative to joining the Red is how I meant that darius_sedai - 21/10/2016 03:22:46 PM 929 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 935 Views
Forget the "locals"... IIRC Aes Sedai have kids "rarely" not "never". Dunstan - 14/10/2016 06:40:56 AM 898 Views
Another good point! darius_sedai - 14/10/2016 03:28:44 PM 858 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 913 Views
I think the numbers of Aes Sedai mothers really are very very low, or secret Cannoli - 15/10/2016 01:10:11 AM 1146 Views
