or eight really if you count the Black, but in any case. I was putting toghether some information on the White Tower (positions, sitters, daily life for accepted, duties, etc.) in order to set out a new game that takes place entirely within the Tower (at least everybody is associated with the Tower in some way).

One of the things that I was trying to put toghether was the varius titles of the Heads of the Ajah's. What I have so far is.

Red Ajah -The Highest
Blue Ajah -
Brown Ajah -First Reader
Green Ajah -Captain General
Yellow Ajah -First Weaver
Grey Ajah -First Clerk
White Ajah -First Reason
Black Ajah -Head of the Supreme Council

First off, is there any that I am missing that are from the books, and second does anybody have any good ideas for the names of the other ajah's untill they do come out in the books?

[edited- added the Grey, and Red]
[edited- added the Black]

Black Ajah -Head of the Supreme Council that is in the books

Gray Ajah-the first ambassador or first mediator
Blue Ajah-the first meddler [ROFL] , or perhaps the first servent
Red ajah the gentle sister, or the first shield

IIRC the head of the Red Ajah is refered to as The Highest (or something like that) and is considered by those in her Ajah to be at least equal in authority to the Amyrlin.

Grey Ajah Head was Head Clerk. It was silly so it stuck out in my head. [Wink]

Found the quote for the Red Ajah. It is from Galina in PoD ch. 11, three paragraphs from the end.

I am the Highest of the Red Ajah! she reminded herself. I sit on the Supreme Council of the Black Ajah!

Sounds like Highest is a title, but Supreme Council is obvious only one of several, not the overall leader.

And does anyone else think that Highest is just a bit pretentious [Big Grin] .

By the way, I seem to remember that they called a cell of darkfriends something in WH, but what that is is beyond me right now.

The Red Ajah's hate the blue Ajah's because two Amyrlin Seat that where held by Red Ajah's where stripped of stole and staff.

The first was behind Manetheren not getting any help and she detrayed Manetheren for jealousy of Ellisande's powers. The second one try to use Artur Hawkwing for a puppet to control the world and so nearly destroyed Tar Valon and destory the Aes Sedai.

That why the Blue and Green Ajah's where allied to keep the Red Ajah's out of power.

Ok, first that was the Amyrlin Seat, that did that in both cases. Although they were red at that time (and yes they were the only red ones before Eladia due to that).

Second, Sorry to sound rude, but what does that have to do with anything on this thread, besides the fact that is involves Ajah's?

If you mean a cell of Black Ajah sisters, they were called a Heart. With three to a heart, the three knew eachother, and one each knew a different Black Ajah of a different heart. Or, I think that was the way it went.

I've thought the same on multiple threads this week.

The different Ajah's get along with each other differently. Red Ajah hate Blue Ajah with than passion and they only work together when event's force
then to or working together benfits then both.

Plus it sound like Red Ajah's are real man hater that the picture I than getting reading the Book's.

The leader of the Blue Ajah's is address as Most Beautiful Seductive One. Being Beautiful doesnot alway mean you are Seductive. I once call than list of the most Seductive Woman in History and 3/4 of then where either plain looking of down right bad looking. I have than hard time understanding this when younger. When I was alittle older I meet than plain looking woman who alway have men interest in her it was her personality, the way she look at you ,
the way she talk. and the way she acted. Today we are
going to much by visual picture and the way Holywood
and Madism Ave. try to tell use what is beautiful and
Seductive.

Marlyn Mormrow the sex goddress of the 1950's was consider by the moive company at first to have no sex appeal as her nose was too big, her lips where
not the right shape, her eyes where too far apart.
The moive compancy did than sursey of what man find
beautiful than a woman than came up with a bunch of
meanless stat. Than Red Ajah might be phyiscal more
beautiful than a Blue Ajah it doesnot automatic mean she is more Seductive as her personality might
be such that she turn off man.
Cleophate was than actural ugle woman in real life,
yet her personalism won over Caesar.

Well, Steve chimed in with a the head of the Black Ajah, being Head of the Supreme Council. This sounds appropriate because like the Forsaken, the Black probably considers themselves all equal, with one among themselves as only a little more powerful (sorta the position Ishameal has, until recently)

As for the Blue Ajah, I don't think that they have said the name of the Head yet, or else you guys would have found it. Until they state the name I will probably use one of the names suggested here.

So far we have:

First Servant
Most Beautiful Suductress
and of course First Meddler (a.k.a. -Mom [Razz] )

Out of these I like First Servant, as it best reflects the relationship the Blue Ajah feels it has toward the world.

Any other suggestion's to throw into the pot, or opinions for that matter?
