Yes, apprentices. Meanwhile, the Tower Aes Sedai became da'tsang.

 

The oath of fealty was not a punishment. Punishment does not enter into it. Rand offered the Salidar AS a way to prove that they were not a threat to him. Given what had just happened, he also wasn't about to let them run loose if they refused.

 

Remember that it wasn't the Salidar AS that rescued Rand, it was really the Asha'man and Rand's own actions. The Salidar AS just showed up after the battle *claiming* to have been trying to help. If Perrin had not been there to confirm that story, Rand would very likely have just thrown them together with the Tower AS.

But none of this counters my point

Oaths from an Aes Sedai aren't the same as oaths from none Aes Sedai. 

'If Zerahs eyes had been wide before they bulged now. The Rod dropped from her hands to roll across the tabletop, and she clutched her throat. A choking sound came from her suddenly gaping mouth

....

"Pevara you gave the order, so apparently you must release her, or she will suffocate right in front of us"'

I don't think swearing fealty will be as extreme as swearing on the oath rod, but it puts Aes Sedai in the possibility of conflicting oaths, which is  dangerous for them

In context, I understand why the oath is necessary for the Tower Aes sedai, but disagree with the salidar Sedai.

Regardless of their success, the Salidar Sedai tried to rescue Rand (my argument has nothing to do with their sucess or motives), they were accepted as allies by Perrin. There's no *claiming*, they needed to rescue Rand, because they believed they'd be destroyed if elaida succeeded in capturing rand (but as I said the motive isn't important either). Why do they need to prove they're not a threat? Their actions proved they were allies already (at least against Elaida)

The oath was forced because Rand had just been locked in a box and beaten daily by Aes Sedai, and the salidar sedai are Aes sedai, but, they have no responsibility for the Tower Sedai actions and did nothing to deserve the necessity of that oath. So essentially they were forced to swear because they're Aes Sedai and 'could' be dangerous

Also Rand was (potentially) only able to break the shield because of the attack, we never find out if he could have done it without the Aes Sedai being distracted

"i said you would be on an equal footing with the Tower emissaries, and for coming with 9 you will be' 

The whole thing/sentiment reads like a punishment to me
