Blue Ajah

The Blue Ajah is run by a single very powerful woman, the First Selector, and is perhaps the most influential of the Ajahs, despite being one of the smaller ones. The primary focus of the Blue Ajah is to champion worthy causes (from an Aes Sedai point of view) and right wrongs. Blues are skilled politicians and administrators.

The Blues are an ambitious Ajah and make full use of any ability of each sister, which is why they achieve so much and have so much influence even though they are a small Ajah.

Their ‘eyes-and-ears' networks, both Ajah and personal, is the most extensive of the Ajahs and their informants report on matters of political intrigue. The networks are used for passing messages out as well as for sending reports in.

Customs of the Blue Ajah

• The title of the Ajah Head, First Selector, must never be revealed. The Blue Ajah Head is not usually a Sitter while she is Head.
• All Blue sisters residing in Tar Valon line the corridor in their shawls to greet a new Blue sister. A new sister is given dresses, carpets and furnishings out of the Ajah's finances.
• Another possible custom is that they do not channel to open the doors when entering the Ajah quarters.
• Blue Ajah sisters bond only one Warder at a time.
• Blue sisters must refrain from marriage.
• A newly raised Blue sister makes a pie for the sister who gave her the sixth welcome kiss.
• Blues must wear all blue on the first day of the month and wear blue stockings when leaving Tar Valon. They are not allowed to wear red clothing inside the Tower:

  
  Red gems were allowed… but the colour was forbidden in clothing, a matter of some long-standing animosity between the Blue and the Red, so old no one was actually certain what had begun it or when. Blue and Red opposed each other as a matter of course, at times bringing the Hall to a near standstill.

Blue Ajah Trivia

• The Blue Ajah is the second smallest after the White Ajah.
• The Blue Ajah quarters in the White Tower are neither flamboyant like the Green and Yellow nor plain like the Brown and White.
• There is long standing animosity between the Blue Ajah and the Red Ajah.
• The Blue Ajah is also a bit at odds with the White and Yellow over something in Altara a hundred years before. The Brown Ajah supports the White against the Blue, but supports the Blue against the Yellow.
• Secret weaves of the Blue Ajah include a weave that stirs those it is woven on to feel unease ranging from slight anticipation to complete panic depending on the tightness of the weave and a weave that can repel insects or make them gather and bite or sting, though it is not intended for the insects to sting people.
• The Green Ajah and Blue Ajah have been allies for the last thousand years.
• Other Aes Sedai see the Blue Ajah as so ready to save the world that they lose themselves.
