Throughout the centuries of upheaval since the Breaking of the World, only the city of
Tar Valon and the Aes Sedai within it have managed to retain both rheir sovereignty
and traditions in an umbroken line since th White Tower was first estabolished
in 98 AB. No kingsom or people, save perhaps the Ogier, has managed to approach
the longecity of the White Tower's reign in Tar Valon, much less attain the level
of influence the Aes Sedai wield throughour the rest of the land, despithe the
fact that now other kingdom claims to fully trust, or even understand them. Some
still hold them responsible for the Breaking of the World. Of course, many Aes
Sedai claim that their traditions are unchanged since befor the Breaking, but
the historical evidence indicates that modern Aes Sedai differ greatly in orginization
and level of knowledge from their predecessors during the Age of Legends.
If you didn't understand the above text, then, in short, Aes Sedai are the
magicians. They are the questionably good guys in the books. Also, they are
seperated into 7 Ajahs, The Red, Brown, Green, Blue, Yellow, Grey,
and White. Each Ajah has different morals, like the Red devote their lives
to hunting out men who can channel and killing them, or the Yellow's, who
are devoted to healing. If you have any more questions about the Ajahs,
the Aes Sedai, or something is unclear, then please e-mail me.
