White Ajah - Traditions

Traditions

Whites consider themselves beyond the social causes that drive most of the other Ajahs and believe that they have no place for the material knowledge that members of the Brown Ajah, and, to a lesser extent, Yellow Ajah, seek. Whites are often described as showing incredibly little emotion (coincidentally, and somewhat ironically, white is the colour of mourning in the Wheel of Time).

The White Ajah was the first Ajah to make the connection between the gentling crusade of the Red Ajah and the dwindling numbers of channelers, and suggested that gentled men should breed with Aes Sedai in the hope of producing more channelers. However, one sister suggested that, since the Whites had advocated the idea, they should therefore be the ones to bear these children. The Whites declined.
