Aes Sedai at TG and TG itself - Questions

[trakand_01]

So we know that each of the Ajahs have their own purpose, for example Browns are knowledge-seekers, Greys are negotiators, Yellows are healers, and Greens are the Battle Ajah, but what purpose will they all serve at TG, or will they not?

 

The Greens are pretty obvious, and the Yellows also but what of the others? Without a doubt the work of the Browns and Whites will aid the Light in their battle, but what of the individual Aes Sedai of these Ajahs themselves? We have seen that they WILL fight (Dumai's Wells), purposefully inciting an attack on themselves which would allow them to retaliate and thus get around the related Oath, but would the Browns, say, really have any place on the Battlefield at TG?

 

And referring to TG itself - what are we expecting? A day's worth of battle, as Falme was, and Dumais Wells, or weeks and weeks of skirmishes, the odd larger fight, culminating in a one day or couple-day battle to finish it all off? I find it a little hard to believe that all these years of preparation could lead to a battle that lasted hours, maybe a day or so.

Once battle has begun, I think most sisters, no matter the Ajah, will enter the battlefield. Just because they usually have other purposes does not mean they have not learned weaves to use as weapons. If that had been the case, few sisters of the White, Brown, Grey, Yellow and Blue would be able to ever leave Tar Valon.

 

As for what we csan expect TG to be, I am quite certain we will see a number of battles all over the place, Andor, Tarwins Gap, possibly Almoth Plain, Tar Valon, possible shadow strikes at other places. And in the middle of all this confusion, Rand and a small group will "simply" Travel to SG for the crucial strike.

 

I also think we will see something similar to the battle in Falme in TGH, Rands battle at SG will reflect  on the other battles, and those battles will reflect on Rands. Chaos strengthens the DO, so success for the shadow will be trouble for Rand, while success for the light will benefit Rand. I somewhat expect it to be written similar to the cleansing, where we jump from POV to POV. Only, a few hundred pages longer.

Even an Aes Sedai who isn't that great at fighting with the power can serve as a battery for one who is.

Well put.  You took the words right out of my mouth (minus the battery metaphore).
