nobody talks about the Grey sisters?

[Caelan Arendor]

As far as I have observed, the Grey Sisters primarily serve as diplomats, as they are exceptionally skilled in negotiation and logic. With these qualities, I believe they most closely compete with the White Ajah—would that be a fair assessment?

 

As for their weaknesses, I cannot say very much; at times they appear overly hesitant and indecisive. Furthermore, considering the numerous—often military—conflicts raging throughout the Randlands, I find myself questioning just how effective their negotiating skills truly are. Am I right?

The Greys could have been used more often by RJ in his books. There was a lot of conflict going on before the stories started in Eye of the World. But, perhaps that ajah was simply too small to be very effective. The best work I remember the Grey ajah doing was negotiating with the Sea Folk and their deal with Rand al`Thor.

The wisdom of the Grey Aes Sedai would be sorely needed in certain places down here (Mar-a-Lago, Gaza, Ukraine…). At present, it is hard to decide whether some of the negotiators are lacking in intelligence, in humanity, or in both. I have deliberately left the names unspoken.
