Annika weaves flows of fire and air.

You say 'fish!'

Tolza peers in the the deep blue water.

Annika plunges the weave into the water with a resounding boom that kicks up a geyser of spray.


Tolza nods in agreement.

Trajega falls half overboard with her land legs.

You say 'I meant to do that. The water looked refreshing'

Tolza says 'Oh, lets see that one Trajega.'


Trajega pulls her lips widely to the side

Annika drawls 'What do you call a girl who uses a fishing rod instead of a net?'


You ask 'should I scalp the fish, or will they stay good until we get to sell them?'
Tolza ponders life, the universe, and everything.

Annika drawls 'Jocasta'
Tolza shrugs helplessly.

Tolza snickers softly.

Tolza answers 'The fishmonger enjoys them whole.'

You nod in agreement.

You sense Annika is channeling saidar.

Tolza says 'I found fishing very soothing.'

Annika sits down and rests.

You smile happily.


Tolza says 'I bet Annika could tell us a thing or two about meditation.'

Tolza winks at Annika.

You say 'what is the White Ajah like Accepted Annika?'

Tolza lazily paddles her canoe.


Annika stops resting, and clambers on her feet.

Annika drawls 'I find it to be a very congenial ajah.'

Tolza nods in agreement.

Annika drawls 'Many different interests and perspectives.'


Annika drawls 'Which is perhaps surprising considering its reputation as the 'Logic' Ajah.'

Tolza says 'Who is your mentor?'

You ponder life, the universe, and everything.

Annika drawls 'Alison Sedai is my mentor.'

Tolza comforts Annika.

Annika conceals a smile.

Tolza says 'I found her very imitating when I was an Accepted. '

Tolza says 'Having said that I was never very 'logical'.'

Annika drawls 'She is a formidable woman certainly.'

Tolza says 'The surprising part is, once I earned the shawl I discovered she was one of my largest supporters. '

The group paddles onward.



Annika drawls 'She strikes me as fair minded.'

Tolza nods at Annika.

Annika drawls 'In the White, it is always a test.'

Tolza shrugs helplessly.

The clouds disappear.

Annika drawls 'Every assertion you make has to be defensible.'

You say 'if I may be so bold, what are the brown Sisters like?'

Tolza chuckles politely.

Tolza says 'To be honest.'

Tolza says 'They are a very complex stubborn lot.'

Annika snickers softly.

You say 'where would one go to learn more about before the breaking?'

Tolza says 'Extremely diverse, so being a brown apprentice be very difficult. '

Annika drawls 'I imagine it is hard to please many mistresses.'

Tolza says 'Any Aes Sedai worth her salt will have a basic knowledge of the breaking.'

You say 'that sounds like an Enigma, unified goal but with perplexing process.'

Tolza says 'Now to dive in to before it, that is more difficult.'

Tolza says 'Is there a specific topic you wish to know about?'

Trajega smiles widely. and asks "oh where to start"


You cast the fishing net.

The small school of fish dashes away startled..


Annika drawls 'Id love to know how they drilled a hole into the pattern itself.'

You say 'what was the scale of power for those use use the source?'


Annika drawls 'That would be a weave worth knowing.'


You say 'What were the social structures like'

You say 'with such a diverse amount of powers, what were their government and law systems'

Tolza gives you a toothy grin.

Tolza says 'Did you know there was not Ajahs during the time of legends?'

You say 'i do'

You say 'there were 12 mid breaking'

Tolza says 'Very good, can expand on that for us.'


You say 'the 12 ajah became 7 Ajah as they restructured and reorganized'


You say 'they formed to save us from men using a tainted source'

Annika drawls 'What were the other five?'


You cast the fishing net.

A small silvery fish dashes away startled.


You say 'unknown, but the 7 we have may not have been 7 of the 12'

You cast the fishing net.

A small silvery fish dashes away startled.

You say 'I have been digging on it, but have not found satisfying answers'


You cast the fishing net.

Annika drawls 'I bet one Ajah was focused on devices.'

Tolza says 'What assumptions can we make with the given information?'

You say 'It also baffles me how much the role of the Red played during those times feels forgotten.'

Annika drawls 'There were probably Ajah focused on working with men, or finding a cure.'

Annika drawls 'Obviously their position would become less tenable over time.'

You say 'Maybe may have merged with the Green'

You say 'Their obsolescence over time would make sense'


You cast the fishing net.

A small silvery fish dashes away startled.


You cast the fishing net.

A small silvery fish dashes away startled.

Annika drawls 'I assume those interested in arts that might require men would also fade out.'

Annika drawls 'Ter'angreal makers.'

You say 'oh, but what I said would be an overstep. I would think they Yellow would also play a large role'


Annika drawls 'Its also possible they were organized more around political positions.'

You say 'It would be a great read on how the 12 became 7'


Annika drawls 'Anti-oathers.'

You say 'perhaps, but while not popular, the oaths helped many sisters survive those times'

Annika drawls 'Well...'

Annika drawls 'They didn't do a great job.'

You say 'I sound like I believe I am an authority. I apologize, I enjoy getting lost in these thoughts.'



Annika drawls 'Given the fact the White Tower was built to accommodate ten times the number of sisters that currently exist.'

You say 'Perhaps, but the breaking sounds like it was a crazy time where everybody would be happy to act like a child of the Blight'

Annika drawls 'We grant that they were optimistic of recruiting, and overbuilt.'

Annika drawls 'But we also know their lifespans were longer than ours.'

Annika drawls 'The math of population decrease is still pretty stark.'

Tolza smiles at the two young women.
north.

You say 'I think that would go into where the White could really teach us of how the Tower has fared over the span.'

Tolza says 'This is the for a lack of better words, the spirit of the Brown Ajah.'


Annika drawls 'I'm working on a model of population decline for my independent research.'

You nod at her.

Tolza glances at Annika over what time period?

Annika drawls 'From the breaking to the present.'

Tolza nods in agreement.

Annika drawls 'I am very interested in how the sieges of Tar Valon during the Trolloc wars and in how Hawkwings reign impacted the population.'

You say 'do Accepted all get access to research that has been done?'

Annika drawls 'Periods of high casualties and effectively zero recruitment.'

Annika smiles happily.

Tolza says 'If you want the support of the Brown Ajah during your vote you do.'

Annika drawls 'Well we have to spend less time washing dishes so we can spend more time in the library.'

Tolza nods in agreement.

You say 'If I am not off day dreaming, Maybe I can take another go at a promotion interview tonight'

You say 'It would be great to dig into those books.'

You sense Annika connecting to the True Source.

Tolza says 'One can hope Trajega.'

You sense Annika is channeling saidar.

Annika sits down and rests.

Tolza says 'Lets conclude this fishing trip.'

You nod in agreement.


Tolza says 'The Brown Sisters use primary sources, secondary analyses, archaeological evidence, and quantitative data to draw conclusions about the past.'

You say 'thank you Tolza Sedai and Accepted Annika. It was a good time I wont forget'

Tolza says 'They compare diverse sources, apply cross-disciplinary approaches, and critically interpret information to construct well-supported arguments.'

Tolza says 'Continual reassessment and refinement of their conclusions occur as new discoveries and alternative viewpoints emerge, allowing the Brown Sisters to adapt their interpretations in line with evolving knowledge and methodologies.'


Tolza says 'This has been a good exercise for the two of you.'

Tolza says 'I am very impressed.'

Annika smiles happily.

You smile happily.

You say 'I stayed in my boat the whole second half!'

Annika drawls 'Thank you Tolza Sedai.'

You say 'thank you Tolza Sedai'
