WoT IRL

 

As you all know, April is the month of JordanCon, the convention dedicated to Robert Jordan and the Wheel of Time series.  I was fortunate enough to attend this year and can honestly say there's nothing better than spending time with other people who are just as obsessed with WoT as I am. 

 

One aspect of JordanCon is the annual costume contest.  As you can image, there's plenty of people and cultures to mimic for a great costume.  There were a ton of beautiful entries.  Unfortunatly, I sat too far in the back to get any good pictures.  But Leigh Butler—Tor.com's WoT reread expert—has wonderful pics on her blog.

Name the Aes Sedai

 

This Aes Sedai is the only member of the Tower in the Wheel of Time series to ever switch to a different Ajah. Who is it?

 

PM me with your answer. Any guess is worth 1 point. A correct guess is worth 2!
