Green Ajah

The Green Ajah dedicated itself to the preparation for the Last Battle (Tarmon Gaidon). Until then the Green Sisters fight for justice throughout the land. Green 'eyes-and-ears' report information on military matters.

The Ajah quarters are decorated with weapons and battle scenes:

"Every door along the hallways was carved with a sword, point-up, gilded for the rooms of Sitters and silvered or lacquered for many others… Kerene's door, bearing a sword lacquered in red, gold and black, also stood open…Moiraine had no idea what the lacquering meant, or the colours, and she suspected she never would unless she chose the Green."

The colour of the swords on the doors probably indicates the rank of the sister, hence the gold swords for the Sitters. The three colours on Kerene's door sword may indicate she was the Ajah Head at that time, though she was often out of the Tower (Information gleaned from WoTmania)

A primary requisite for the Ajah is a love of men; their Warders often live in their Aes Sedai's apartments instead of in quarters in Tar Valon or in the Gaidin Barracks.

Customs of the Green Ajah

• The Green Ajah does not forbid marriage and Greens with one Warder are often married to them.
• The custom for selecting Sitters is that Green sisters nominate choices and the Captain-General selects one.
• Unlike in other Ajahs, by custom Greens may bond as many Warders as they wish.
• Green Ajah sisters who have only one Warder are typically married to them.

Green Ajah Trivia

• The Green Ajah is also militaristic: the Ajah Head is titled Captain-General.
• The Green Ajah and Blue Ajah have been allies for the last thousand years.
• During the Trolloc Wars they were called the Battle Ajah.
