IC & OOC Hierarchy at the White Tower

This was said far better than I could put it by Elgee, so I hope she does't mind my quoting her.

In Character hierarchy at the White Tower

 

 

There have been various systems used over the years to determine the In Character Hierarchy at the White Tower, but this is the one that is now in use (remember that Accepted and Novices are right at the bottom wink.gif):

 

 

Quote

Amyrlin

 

Keeper

 

Head (of YOUR Ajah)

 

Sitters (of ALL Ajahs, ranking by age within the Hall) / Mistress of Novices (only with regards to N&A matters)

 

OP Strength / Temporary Position (for instance Ambassador or delegation leader)

 

 

Remember the gradations, "secret" positions, and other difficult cases:

 

Gradations:

 

Joan Sedai of the White Ajah is the weakest in the OP in the whole Tower. She has to defer to every single other sister. However, her deductive reasoning and skill at Daes Dae'Mar is brilliant, so she is chosen to be a Sitter. Everyone in the White Tower who is NOT a Sitter (or the White Head) now defers to her. In the Hall itself, she is somewhere in the middle age-wise, which puts her somewhere in the middle in the Hierarchy there.

 

Pam Sedai is of middling Strength, and is put in charge of a delegation of sisters to the Seafolk. There are sisters of greater Strength than her in this delegation, but they defer to her for the duration of the delegation. She might take advice from the sisters with her, but would pay greater heed to the advice of the Stronger sisters, over that of the Weaker ones.

 

Former Wilders and Salidar novices:

 

Former Wilders are generally regarded slightly lower than where their Strength in the OP should put them. Aes Sedai who were Salidar novices will be regarded in the same way, due to their “forcing” and speedy raising. Some (if not most) will feel that they did not learn all they should have.

 

Secret Positions:

 

The Ajah Heads are only known to the members of their own Ajahs. For instance, a White would not defer to the Brown Ajah Head, because she wouldn't know her as such.

 

All members within an Ajah would defer to their Head, though, even Sitters ... except for voting in the Hall.

 

Even there, some Heads have more control than others. The Red Head traditionally has absolute control (even regarded as equal in position to the Amyrlin by her own members), but there can be a fine tussle between Sitters and Heads where it comes to voting in the Hall.

 

The Keeper:

 

She is technically just a glorified secretary, with no more power than the Amyrlin chooses to give her. BUT! She has the ear of the Amyrlin, and everyone has to go through her to get to the Amy. In such a case, when in doubt, being polite is politic 

 

The Mistress of Novices:

 

She only has charge over the Novices and Accepted. Technically. But any sister who has contact with said N/A, will be watched by her like a hawk. Any sister can also be sent to her for Mortification of the Flesh, which again means it's only politic not to pee her off too much
