Aes Sedai, in the Old Tongue, means "servants of all," and the Aes Sedai of the Age of Legends lived up to this definition. They aided mankind as scientists, healers and philosophers. Women used saidar and men saidin, as today, although it is believed that channelers in the Age of Legends were much stronger, or at least more knowledgeable in the Power compared to their more modern equivalents; it is believed that they could fly, and things that would seem miraculous today were supposedly commonplace to them. Some of their lost Talents, such as Traveling (teleportation) and Dreaming, have only just been rediscovered. As today, however, the greatest works were wrought by men and women working together.
It was, ironically, an Aes Sedai research team at the Collam Daan that ripped open the Dark One's Prison. The researchers, headed by Mierin Eronaile, thought they had found a power that both men and women could wield. They were mistaken. What followed was a general decline of civilization over the course of several hundred years, followed by the War of Power. In the end, the Dragon, with the help of the Hundred Companions, sealed the Dark One and the Forsaken in his prison at Shayol Ghul, and the Dark One's final counterattack tainted saidin itself, driving all male Aes Sedai mad.
The women could not control them, and the men rampaged across the known world, boiling oceans, raising mountains where there were none, killing countless innocents. This was the Breaking of the World. While some of the men managed to find refuge in Ogier stedding (where they could not touch the Power, and therefore would not go mad), after a time they left the stedding hoping that the taint on saidin had disappeared. It had not, and they went insane, prolonging the breaking of the world but, as some think, ensuring that it was not as disastrous as it would have been if all of the men had gone insane at once.
The Green Ajah
Greens call themselves "The Battle Ajah," as their primary purpose is to prepare themselves for Tarmon Gai'don, the Last Battle, when the Dark One breaks free and must be opposed. They are also the White Tower's counter to the Dreadlords, channelers (both men and women) who have openly gone to the Shadow and sometimes lead their armies in battle.
Interestingly, Dreadlords have not been openly seen in recent events, despite the rising of the Dark One's power. Greens are also willing to bond more than one Warder and are known for their love of men; in this way, the Green is almost the ideological opposite of the Red. Greens are also known to marry their Warders, most Greens who do so only have one Warder, although there are rumors that some Greens have married several of their warders. However, they do not oppose the gentling of men who can channel, as the example of Cadsuane Melaidhrin clearly sets.
They have a long history of friendship with the Blues, and generally oppose the Red, although they were siding with them in many issues before the Tower broke. While many Greens did side with the rebel Blues, many stayed with the Elaida in the Tower. The Greens are governed by a single woman known as the Captain General.
Alter Ego
I'm Scarlett, 16 yrs old and I was born in a war freak country, the Philippines. I was raised in the streets of Cotabato City where everyday is a constant struggle between life and death. I'm seeing twenty years from now, my beloved (ick!) hometown will be in ruins if the corrupt government won't do something. But - that's life. "The strong shall live and the weak shall die" It's a good motto - one that I'll never ever forget.Sometimes, I found myself all alone in this entire sphere of existence. Don't get me wrong here - I have lots of friends. Good friends, loyal, reliable and fun to be with. But in my everyday life, I'm on a constant trek to find someone that's like me or kin to my interests. A boyfriend, maybe. Ha! I consider the male species to be s complex as their counterparts.
My star sign is Scorpio. Mysterious, magnetic and the sexiest sign among the others. Yes, I'm quite mysterious, though I would love to live out loud. There are just so many things that my friends, family and even myself could not depict. I believe in the saying "Forever is not enough to know a person" Everyday - we change. The world we are living in changes to a greater degree though we may not notice it. But we are just mere mortals trying to live our lives as perfect as possible. But in the real world, there's no such thing as "perfect individuals" that's why the work of the world doesn't have to wait to be done by the "perfect people"
I am as unique as everybody else. I am comfortable being myself. I love being different, if that's the way it has to be. I consider myself to be an average teen. Bizarre in life - I've been through a lot of ups and downs. I've been in the honor class, I've been caught shoplifting, I've done cheating, I smoke, I drink...you name it.
I have an ocean of tolerance in me. I accept what others find unacceptable. I'm very touchy when it comes to honor and obligation. I love being free. If freedom is taken away from me - I would die! Literally. I don't want others to tell me what to do, even if it is my parents. I can be as stubborn as a mule.
I am easy to get along with. I love food, History and music. I am a determined person. I won't give up without a fight, even if it causes death. I love my friends more than anything else in the world.
I am a passionate, single-minded person capable of depths of emotion. I usually don't shy away from the truth just because it's not exactly what I or others want to hear. I am private and I love what is hidden - and I always want to uncover it. I like to be alone with my thoughts as much as I want to share other's company. I am not interested in the superficial, which is why my relationship (if ever I have one) run so deep. I don't shy way from the shadow - rather I quest for the truth. I guess, that's about it for now, or do I need another page? ;)
