Things you should know about being Green...

[U4ea]

I thought it might be a good idea to start this little collection of things that not everyone in the Tower knows and I feel a little old being the only one to remember. LOL So, if you have anything to add, please feel free! I'm sure we'll start conversations about some of this, but I'll try to keep this thread trimmed down to FAQs as much as possible. If I move your posts and create a new thread, I'll try to remember to link it in, just be prepared for discussions to get moved to keep down the clutter.

 

 

Things You Need to Know About Being a Green:

 

1- Warders- given the small number of Tower Guards and being the only folks allowed to bond more than one Warder, we do have a limit to how many bonds you can have. The limit for Greens is 3!

 

2- Yes, you can marry your warder! Just remember, you can't marry them all!

 

3- NO, you can't have his kids. Or, at least you can't wander the Tower rocking a belly bump. Pregnant Greens are sent away to have their kids and then, the kids are taken away to be raised outside of the mother's sphere of influence. This isn't to be mean, it's to keep the child from being used to get back to you. Keep in mind that we're Aes Sedai, which means we live for loopholes and being allowed to leave the Tower whenever we want, for as long as we want, can usually do a good job of covering up your kid-raising years. You just have to be careful about people catching on and know that when/if you return, acknowledging the child/children is NOT an option. If they happen to come to the Tower to be trained (for whatever reason), you don't want them mentioning who their Mom is. There are very ugly consequences for skirting this rule if you're caught!

Brilliant idea, Lor! And again, I'm stealing your idea and running off with it, if you don't mind.

 

Ie I've started this thread at the Announcement board where I would like to add info about all the Ajahs for all to see. Is it ok if I copy the above into it?

Hey Lor I just checked the bonding limit for us here. and the limit is actually four.....but its wrong. We decided in the last discussion to make it three. So three it is. I'll check around Dm today to make sure it doesn't say four anywhere else. :)

Thanks, Rasheta! :D I promised Kyn he'd be the only one a million years ago, so I always ignored that rule because it would never apply. lol I'm editing that one in just a sec...

 

And no, I don't mind, Elgee. I figured getting this collection together would make it easier on bio checkers, too, so we don't get slips through and so people don't start raising Cane when we tell them they can't do something because it's against the Greens rules. lol Copy away, as long as you put a tag on it that this is a work in progress and as things come up, it'll probably be edited. We have a lot of obscure rules like these that are escaping me at the moment... *sighs and curses Preggo hormones and memory issues*

Great stuff, Lor

 

One of the things that would need to go in there would be the extra "reqs" Greens have to do, I think.

As soon as the Defender ranks get ironed out, I'll get them added. Especially since the only thing that's required, at least as of the last time we talked about it, was the denial at the first petition. The rest is kind of voluntary, though understood that it's been done. That's how I'm setting up the Defender ranks, anyway. That way everyone gets what they want. ;)

[Elgee]

Great stuff! Just let me know when it's ready to add in, and I'll do so.

 

Oh yes - I think there's a mistake in your first post:

I presume that should be "being the only folks allowed to bond more than one warder"?

[U4ea]

bah, I don't know what you're talking about, Elgee. We're the only ones who should be allowed to bond warders. We're the only ones who know what to do with them!

 

*grins*

 

Yes, I'm kidding! Thanks for pointing that out and I'm fixing it right...now!
