There is also customs listed in the Blue Ajah Info thread on your board ;)

Also, yes, I'd love to meet your Blue. I think I'll use Astradore for that :D

 Oh!  Yeah!  Haha, thanks :). Cool!

@Lavinya - Which one?  I'm happy to do either!  

@Lavinya - how new is she?  We could RP her being brand new - like going through the Hall, baking her pie, learning some of the new weaves from my Blue?

If that won't work, perhaps we could rp her getting some information from Mimi (Miahna) regarding her travels, for the Eyes and Ears?  Mimi isn't often in the Tower, after all, so she has a wealth of knowledge :). 

It's been a while since I read the books - if you're like me, here's a link to 13th depository on customs and Blue Ajah is in the middle,

@Lavinya & @Jagen Sedai- I brought my Blue back, but I haven't had a chance to write for her yet.  Perhaps we could get an Ajah RP going with the 3 of us?

Oh, awesome. Thanks!

Oh awesome! I didn't know :). Glad to know he's back!

Asyndara is indeed the Ajah Head :). When I was the Head for a short time, I picked her. I have an email between Elgee, or maybe Tay, and I. I can send it to you if you'd like. We liked her because she had an interesting story. She was a candidate for Amyrlin, then banished, then came back after the split.

I'm Kyn, people get tired of typing Kynwric all the time... and I've been here since dirt was young...  it not as long as Mat.

@_Kynwric_Lol Kyn. I know your full name. I just meant I was at JordanCon too and the 20th anniversary party for DM so I was wondering if I met you. :)

YESSS HAHA KYNWRIC IS GONNA HEAD THE WARDERS! The RGL ambushed him at the JCon DM party and he agreed. Loraine witnessed. (Loraine is coming back too? *cough* @U4ea @_Kynwric_

Wait!  Who plays Kyn??

I'm back too.  I wasn't sure if I needed to post here or not :).  I'm from 2010, although I have been rping off and on since 1998, just not at DM then. 

For my two cents, I have never been involved in a major plotline either; they all happened before I actually started at DM.  I always just do character development/touring the world and such as there is such a large cast of folks that we never actually see on screen, and plus we are in a PSW anyway. The major events in the books obviously frame what's going on in the world, but there is so much left to explore outside the major stuff. 

I do, though, think the idea of going through the books 3-6 months at a time is a really cool idea.  Perhaps that could take place on a board that's not part of the main boards, since Tay overruled anything previous to KoD?  I think the idea of pre-books is cool too, as a side RP, but I don't like it as the only way we RP here.  I actually like sitting about Book 10-11, as it has opened up so many more possibilities regarding kinds of characters and events.

I'm fine with getting the LB going though, if that is what everyone agrees on :).  Basically, I'm flexible and don't feel strongly either way about moving along or staying at 10/11.  Helpful, I know lol.  Maybe I would feel stronger if I did a reread and had a better memory of the events in 11-14.  

I do like the idea of more characters allowed though. Aes Sedai are my favorite characters to write and it could help move things along well if those who were active allowed more.  I suppose it depends on what is meant by activity/active though :). 

Oops, I'm sorry!  My brain went to site wide RP lol.  Sweet!  I will check out that post. 

I totally understand wanting to finish the book to avoid spoilers.  Read away!

Hi! I was just being nosy and reading some of the other posts on the board while I came up with ideas to write about.  In the locked post down below (Arie's I don't want to be "that" player, but...), @Taymist  you mentioned a sitewide rp that would "drastically" change the rp side and that folks could all be a part of.  Is this still in the works?  If so, I would love to be a part of it!

If not, can I help think of one? :).

Key aka Em

@Jagen Sedai this is just amazing work.  Thank you for compiling/writing all of this! 

Perfect!  No need to apologize :).  I actually don't know what Sitter to move either.  The last time I was here, I think Kat and I were the only active Yellows.  When I very first started, Boopsy (Camigwen) was in and out, but he stopped shortly into my rping. 

@Jagen Sedai I see you posted in February that you would like to continue this thread.  Do you still want to?  Or would you rather jump into something else?

I just wanted to say hi and see if anyone was around :).  

Hi @Jagen Sedai Thank you for all the wonderful work you are doing!  My Yellow Sitter, Carys, is missing from this list; what can I do to help you get all the information you need for her?

@Taymist - Thank you Tay!

@Jagen Sedai - Thank you for updating the website!  I think last I had written Mimi she was around 110.  

Hi @Jagen Sedai! My Blue is missing from the list; I will try to get you the info tomorrow. My Yellow, Carys, is on there, but it is missing that she has the Healing talent :). 

@Taymist Thank you!

@Jagen Sedai I would like to make another character, so I will leave Freja a NSW, though I wrote her bio. I am happy to write for her as needed though! And I would love to rp with your new Yellow. Do you have any ideas as to what our purpose should be? I think Carys is still in charge of the Infirmary, perhaps something involving that?

2) Miahna "Mimi" Telonne Sedai & Carys Demot Sedai

3) Miahna is a Blue Aes Sedai & Carys is a Yellow Aes Sedai.  She was a Sitter in the Tower last I was here. 

4) Some of them? I have the Seanchan Board, the T'A'R board, The High Seas, and The Mainland.  If there are more, I don't have them.

5) I have access to the Blue Ajah, Yellow Ajah, and Gray, because I was once upon a time the Ajah Head for all of them.  I wrote a bio for a Gray Ajah member, but it was never approved, or at least never posted lol.  Her name was Freja. I'm totally cool with scrapping her though, because I can't even find the bio! All I can find is a post that I wrote to Elgee that says I turned it in. 

The sun was just beginning to set when the women began to quiet down.  Tegerie, a stout woman with handsome features and more gray than brown in her hair, thrust a few wispy pieces of hair out of her face and stood.  “We are in agreement?” she said, making eye contact with every woman around the table – including Colana.  Half the women nodded immediately – just shy of eagerly.  Those four beamed at Colana, their eyes flicking from the ring on her finger to her emotionless stare.  The other half grumbled a bit under their breaths before sighing and nodding assent; these four obstinately avoided eye contact with the Aes Sedai until the Wisdom fixed each of them with a stare of her own.  “As always, despite our discussion here, we provide a united front outside these walls.  Otherwise, the men might get confused.”  Her stern features melted into a smile at the jab and the other women followed suit. 

Tension began to seep out of the room, making the air seem cooler.  Many of the women fanned themselves; several took a healthy sip from the water glasses dotting the table.  “Colana Sedai, we will provide you aid however you need it.  Including talking to the woolheaded Village Board.” Tegerie said, sitting back down and adjusting her skirts before she looked back at the Blue.  Her eyes seemed to convey an additional message – do not make me regret this.  Aes Sedai or not, if I do, so will you.  Fighting a smile, the younger woman nodded her thanks and rose to leave the room.  Tales regarding the Dragon’s homeland had not been remiss in describing the degree of stubbornness that thrived in the Two Rivers.  It appeared no different here than in her home world. 

Yet, despite their stubbornness, they were good people.  The separation between Taren Ferry and the more southern villages – including Emond’s Field – was less pronounced here than it was in the other world.  They met with the Women’s Councils of the smaller villages once a month and discussed local politics.  It would be interesting to see the change that afforded the smaller places.  Colana had visited Emond’s Field only once, but that had been after the Last Battle.  It had been remarkably different from the small village she had read about in both the White Tower Library and the Royal Library.  It had once been so small and out of the way that even the Crown of Andor had forgotten about it.  However, in the years after the Last Battle, everyone wanted to know about the Dragon Reborn’s hometown.  In every library she had visited, multiple rows were filled with books regarding his life.  Mostly speculation, of course, but there were some of note.  Particularly the Ogier’s novel.  It had been a fabulous read.

She walked back to the Inn, surprised when the Bond told her that Berick was not there.  He wasn’t much of a conversationalist and generally neither were Blacksmiths.  Remembering the ride into town, Colana guessed he was taking a drink at the other inn.  A great place to gather information if one could remain inconspicuous enough.  With his size and air of confidence, she wasn’t sure that was possible.  It wasn’t as if they had been on many investigative missions in the past.  Both of them were more comfortable hunting for tracks than hunting for information. 

The innkeeper smiled at her as she walked in, torchlight glinting off the top of his head.  She gave him a small smile and asked for her dinner to be delivered to her room.   Though the Common Room was not extremely noisy, the Blue wanted to write down everything she had learned from the Women’s Council.  The bald man nodded and immediately stopped wiping down the bar to walk back to the Kitchen.  As he left, one of the serving girls stepped up to the bar and took up the rag.  A well-oiled machine, Colana thought as she walked up the steps.  She still had to the resist the childish urge to run up the stairs every time she encountered a flight of them.

She’d finished her dinner and was sitting at the small desk, pen scratching the paper, when Berick finally returned.  In her eagerness to find out what he had learned, and to relate what she had uncovered, the Aes Sedai turned to him with a bright smile spread across her lips, and a pen dripping black ink onto her dress.  

Water splashed as it hit the sides of the tub, sending droplets spraying in several directions.  The girl holding the bucket looked chagrined at realizing she’d poured a bit too forcefully, though not so far as to act cowed.  A sign of security in her position - both with what she did and how she was treated.  The people in this area just seemed…good.  It was no wonder that the Dragon had been a man of such honor.  Colana thanked the girl, passing her a silver coin as she dismissed her.  With a small curtsy, the girl left the room, no questions asked.  The silver coin and the silver snake on the Blue’s finger were answer enough.

Shutting the door firmly, the blonde opened herself up to the Source and wove a delicate strand of Fire into the water.  It warmed instantly, steam rising to fill the room with a gentle haze of humidity.   It was a comfortable temperature to remove her clothing – the girl having unlaced her dress before she was dismissed.  Sighing contentedly, she shrugged out of the dress, stepped into the tub, and immersed herself.  The liquid was just below scalding and perfect for working out the aches of traveling.  Even her father and brothers had spoken of the necessity and helpful restorations of a good bath.

It was a shame the rest of the evening wasn’t as calming.  Following her bath, she and Berick had eaten dinner in the Common Room of the Inn.  The girl who had lugged the water up for her bath attended the few tables that were occupied; the Innkeeper moved back and forth between the bar and presumably a storage area accessed through the kitchen.  After every disappearance into the kitchen area, he would return with a bottle or two.  It was a quaint scene, but the idea that they would be sharing a room again had Colana agitated. She twirled the spoon in her bowl of stew and tried not to bite her lip as she played through the possible scenarios.  

They retired early, and uneventfully. Upon returning to the room, Colana collapsed onto the bed and was blissfully asleep in mere moments.  When she awoke, Berick was rummaging around in one of the saddlebags and there were birds chirping outside the window.  It was still mostly dark in the room, the hushed feel of the air telling her that most of the occupants of the Inn were still asleep.  A quick glance out the window showed a sliver of sun just beginning to peek over the horizon.  Local farmers were beginning to set to their daily business.  

“I’d like to stay in town today,” she said, her voice still slightly hoarse from sleep.  “Talk to the people about …anything.  Specifically, as I mentioned before, we need to know when we are.” Her voice cracked and before she could reach for a glass of water, Berick was handing one to her.  “You know, the Dragon was from this area of the…of our world.  A place called Emond’s Field, just south of this Taren Ferry.  I find that a truly remarkable coincidence that this is where we ended up.  Especially since the Stone we used was in Mayene.”  Yes, talk business, because that’s going to solve the problem.

They agreed that they would first approach the Innkeeper and the Cook, as they were likely to be awake and readily available.  From there, Berick would approach the Smithy and she would head to the Women’s Council – if this was anything like the real Taren Ferry.  The Gray Ajah had been in a tizzy – as much as Aes Sedai could be – over the governing bodies of this area of the country.  It was entire unique and bicameral.  After the Last Battle, one of the first excursions beyond those deemed “extremely necessary” was for the Gray and Brown Ajah to jointly study the history of politics in this area. 

Heh, thanks. It's on a super limited basis, unfortunately. But, ever since I had to take a break from writing I have felt like a piece of me was missing, so I needed to get back into it!

I'm willing to play too :). I miss writing; I need to get back into it.
