Let us deal with the Blue Ajah

[Caelan Arendor]

There are Problematic Traits of the Blue Ajah, though often celebrated for its noble ideals: seeking the causes behind events, championing justice, and exercising political influence. At first glance, these qualities appear admirable—who would not value the pursuit of fairness and the uncovering of deeper truths? Yet, beneath this lofty mission lies a more troubling dimension.

 

While the Blues claim to fight for justice, their methods frequently blur the line between advocacy and manipulation. Their manipulations often remind me of puppeteers, making the marionettes dance upon their strings according to their will.

 

Care for some examples?

 

Moiraine’s guidance—or ‘leadership’—of Rand, though cloaked in the guise of a benevolent advisor, is nonetheless manipulative. She withholds information and truths, nudging him into actions that appear to serve her own purposes.

 

The Blues frequently involve themselves in the political affairs of the day, claiming to act under the banner of justice, yet the true purpose of their interference is often to strengthen their own influence over rulers and peoples.

 

Taken as a whole, their conduct remains dubious, though they exhibit fewer repellent qualities than some of the other ‘hues’ within their craft.

 

Have a nice weekend and stay good!
