80% Grey, guess i'm a politician
I thought I’d be blue and I was- but overwhelmingly so! 89% blue the next one is 47% brown
Blue just a few points ahead of yellow. Does that make me a green? 🤣
green at 89%.
Green but then very closely followed up by yellow and Grey.
Daniel: The Blue Ajah stick up for righteousness and protect others.
Kaladin: So, you’re saying… they will protect those who cannot protect themselves?
then proceeds to brood in the corner of the room while the WoT cast make fun of him
"Uhhh... yeeeeah... sure, let's go with that."
more like what THEY see as the justice and betterment of the world. Hence why morianne seeks out the dragon to controll him and lessen the second world breaking while "guiding" him. Turns out blue ajah don't know nearly enough and the worlds course is bad enough that it actually needs to get broken first before it can mend cleanly but I digress. They do protect a number of people and are generally good though but at the same time is almost as politically active as the grey and have a habit of trying to move people in the "right" way without their approval. Something morianne discover personally when rand block her out ENTIRELY and force her to make an oath of servitude to let her back in. Long story short her whole worldview falls apart and she litterary on her knees begs him to listen to her and him being quite agitated and pissed at aes sedai in general asks for an oath of servitude in return.
Yellow sisters like to not just heal injuries but also the world which means some of them have a bit more bite than at first glance. The green is quite interesting in that some of them consider binding the male key players as guardians to get ontop of fighting but at the same time green ajah treat their guardians quite well for most part.....yes good enough to share lodging in more than one way.
brown are brown and a small number of them end up in rands following just to study the dragons effect on the world and record its passing. Long story short all of them have more and less pleasant sides to them where red sisters discover first hand that male and female force together is stronger than just female and gets concerned they might have stilled to many men so that the gift is weakening and becomming more rare even among women. A suggestion from red sisters of all things is to marry stilled men and carry their children to counteract this.
You forgot that the Warders of the Brown also carry books! :D I think this is their main purpose :D
LOL Pack Mule .. ahem, I mean, warder
XD
They might have to fight someone over the books too. Like what if bandits want to steal your books? That happens sometimes, right?
I guess that’s the entire reason they’re stronger.
@@judydodge737 Right?! Books are frikkin heavy! These are the double bladed battle axe and warhammer maul wielding warders of the tower. Light help ANYONE who tries to assault the Tower library.
Ah, this topic! I remember as of 1991, when "The Dragon Reborn" came out, the first two books hadn't really gone into detail about the other Ajahs much. I was in High school and my mom let me get out of school so that I could go to a book-signing where Robert Jordan was appearing, When I spoke with him, I told him about my fascination with the Aes Sedai and the White Tower and asked him if he was planning to tell us more about the rest of the Ajahs. I don't remember exactly what he said verbatim but he did say that he was planning to reveal more about each of the other Ajahs as the story progressed. Now, looking back, there were probably a lot better question better questions I could have asked. But, yeah, I was a goofy kid and I was nervous as heck. (Blue)
Maybe you planted the seed in his head which lead to him delving deeper into all the Ajahs! You never know.
My wife kicked me out of the room while she was in labor, so I ran down the street to buy New Spring …lol …
Aw that’s adorable
Things were a lot different back than. Brandon when discussing wot fandom and comparing it his cites the rise of the internet and wikis gathering confirmed questions has allowed fans to coordinate and focus questions. Something they couldn't do when meeting RJ. It was your personal question that you wanted. He took the time to think about it.
@@LrnecBuma you're right, its hard to remember those times before the web made information so accessible. I remember it wasn't until a year or so later I was able to get Prodigy and joined the WOT bulletin board, heh. I wonder what modern readers think about those huge glossaries at the back of each book, but that was pretty much all we had for reference back then.
Thanks for mentioning Elaida. I've been having a sneaking suspicion that Liandrin will be replacing Elaida for the entire series.
If that is true I am assuming we won't get the Liandrin + spider "scene" which I found quite ....entertaining.
definitely, they've been showcasing Liandrin so much, it only makes sense that she will absorb the character of Elaida.
I know it's super late, but Rafe did pretty much confirm that we will also see Elaida in the show. I was worried about that too, but it sounds like we'll actually see her ^^
I don’t know… She would have to come back to the tower, and they already know that she is a traitor. The next season (supposedly) is supposed to be about the issues at the White tower. I think Elaida is going to fulfill her role as the advisor to Elayne’s mother And play her part before getting stilled.
"If you're a mathematician or logic person, this is where you're gonna fall. And I'll laugh at you for it. But it's fine. Ya weirdo." I would swear vengeance against you for this slight to my honor, but you are technically correct (the best kind of correct).
same.
The white Ajah likely handles all the Tower finances. nobody ever talks about it, but who else would do it? Thanks for logic and math. (Not a joke, I do appreciate such different people)
I’m a nurse. Thank asked my husband what ajah he thought I would be in, thinking that yellow was obvious. He said black. Much laughter ensued. I love that wot is part of our marriage, so many inside jokes.
Yes laughter, definitely not compulsion
My husband said the same thing. 😩
I am an old Brown Brown (over sixty and have been called “an angry little Brown woman” - which I’m fine with, btw). I’ve been a WOT fan (devotee?) since “Eye of the World” so, decades. I’ve not seen the TV series and haven’t read/reread the series since finishing “A Memory of Light” years ago. However, I plan to start again as soon as I finish my current read.
I am a fan of your vlog (?). I love that younger generations are discovering the wonder of WOT, and your part in facilitating some of that. Good on you. Keep up the good work.
Daniel PLEASE no matter how successful and I see great things for your passionate future, never change. You are such a perfect blend of quirky, crazy, beautiful brilliance. You wear your heart and thoughts on your sleeve and again I don't even have other social media to which I pick up on you raise hell somedays. You are a perfect developing...You. It is a pleasure in any capacity to be on the journey. 🤗

For those that just want to re-clickity-click.
9:25 Spoilers
9:36 ?
The reds are actually dedicated to investigating/punishing misuse of the one power among both sexes. Since the breaking they have primarily focused on men for obvious reasons, but are still usually the ones tasked with investigating other Aes-Sedai and female channelers outside the tower. This also explains why they don't bond warders. It's not so much that they hate men (although many of them do), but more because in a fight with another power user, warders are worthless and a major liability.
They are also the most active in seeking new recruits for the tower, which is one of the reasons why they are by far the biggest ajah in the books; and why Moiraine (blue) bringing in Nynaeve and Egwene is such a big deal.
and also shows why blue is so small because neither of those 2 even chose blue, (Queue actual spoilers) in my opinion Egwene would definitely have made a better blue than green which she had planned to become
@@j-jackquinn5540 I agree about Egwene going blue. Unfortunate for the blues that Moiraine has zero interest in tower politics and made no effort to convert Egwene.
If you substract all the Blacks in their ranks the Reds are not that popular in reality
Holy shit, that explains way better the headbutting between them and the Blues. The obvious reason (different view on stilling channeler men) always seemed a bit lackluster for me, and their rivalry had always been portrayed as something very deep and even historical.
They are basically the police force against the blue ajah political activists :D It is so much clearer now :D
The Red don't officially hate men no, but if a woman becomes Aeis Sedai and ALREADY hates men, which Ajah do you think she's most likely going to choose? And then this would foster a culture of man-hating within the Reds in a sort of feedback loop.
When I did the test I came out as Blue Ajah - although with Brown Ajah in a strong second place. The interesting thing is that I would interpret the word "justice" is having a very different meaning to what the "activists" believe this concept to mean. But then there is always the "Blue on Blue" (really Blue against Blue) type conflict.
Same here. On both counts.
Those were my two highest 74% and 70%
brown.
I'm of the Yellow Ajah and Green was a close second. Thank you for breaking down the Ajah for those that haven't read the books, or for someone like me that haven't read them in a couple years.
Apparently I'm a Blue. And thank you for the breakdown, even admitting they're rather simplified--wrapping my head around this entire world is much easier thanks to these videos.
I'm a blue too :)
I’m blue da ba dee da ba dai
Looks like I found my Ajah quarters, Blue with a dash of grey/brown. I used to lean towards a Green minor till I took a arrow in the knee 😉
Me too 🫂
Blue gang, I had it over 80%, rest everything fell under 40% lol
I love the WoT content! Never should you have to apologize for it. Keep it coming! 😁👍
Just started this show Friday and BINGED every episode! It's so good. It really reminds me of OG Lord of the Rings and I love that.
Thanks so much for this summary! I am working through the series for the first time right now and wanted a good summary of what the Ajahs are, but the Wiki and other resources put so many spoilers into their articles that I was afraid to look into them too deeply. Now, I can just reference your video instead! It made a lot of things make more sense.
Took the test and I’m Brown with a close Blue. It’s tough to answer when you know what they’re getting at, but I was as honest as possible
Blue with strong leaning towards green! I will say you're the guy who got me started on WoT. I just started Crossroads (10) and have been loving the journey. Can't wait to see how this series concludes.
I'm right with you as a yellow, Daniel 😊
Thanks for the breakdown! It's super helpful as a show-watcher who has not (yet) read the books!
I got Yellow with Brown at 2nd place. I always thought Yellow would be one of the most useful ones whilst reading the books, especially from living in that kind of dangerous world. If you're able to master healing to the point where you become so adept at it you can basically heal yourself as fast as Wolverine does, you'd be almost unstoppable and it would make it a lot harder for people to take you down. In this case however it's all through sheer practice, adeptness and skill from years of training making it a conscious thing.
But only provided you're with a fellow Yellow sister, since you cannot heal yourself.
Which quiz did you do?
The Aes Sedai truly embody the idea of "Once you go black, you never go back."
I wish this wasn’t as true as it is…
Can I just say, I so appreciate the nuance with your comparison of medic vs MD. So many would have said "nurse and MD" and I would have silently raged.
Yep. They should come hang in any unit in July and August and see who knows what. Thank you.
Nurses definitely deserve more respect than they usually get.
@@gokbay3057 Agreed; I worked as the IT guy for a college of nursing for about 13 years, I know how much work they put in to earn those degrees and that license, it's insane.
Actually, paramedics can do more than doctors outside a hospital. I think he should’ve dodged with “doctors vs you, after you took First Aid as your 10th grade heath class.”
@@kosmiles5959 Probably would have been the best, yes.
I mean, all things aside paramedics are still professionals. The best analogy is "trained medical personal" vs "someone who mainly does something else but has some first aid training"
I'm Blue Ajah! Loved the video. Answered all my questions. 👏🏽💫
When I read the books I always had the impression that the whole Organisation of the Aes Sedai was created by somone who run a Kindergarten before the Catastrophe. The whole idea of these groups with their colours and their petty little secrets and their bitchfighting. If I remember it correctly it was also stated that the structure was created by a very low ranking survivor probably she worked in in a Kindergarten before becoming the first Amyrlin.
I've been debating for almost 30 years whether I'd be a Blue or a Brown. I'd finally settled on Brown but the quiz says Blue (followed by a questionable Ajah and then Brown). I'll continue to claim Brown though. I think I'd be an out-of-the-tower Brown similar to a certain character we all know.
Me, too.
Same, can't decide between blue or brown
Out-the-Tower-Browns, yes, we shall gather the world’s knowledge
Who is that? The one with all the cats?
Bues are more activist types, if you are the type who would actually show up to a protest you might be blue, if you are one of the arrangers you are definetly blue,
if you would just sign a petition like me and go back to reading you are definetly brown, if you are the one asking people to sign you are blue.
I am a brown according to my bookshelf, if they actually made stuff or invented things i would be white.
I'm Green Ajah! Actually thought it would put me in Blue but I'm happy with Green (I'd totally have more than one Warder.)
BTW, Blue Ajah is also called the "spy" ajah sometimes too. They do have one of the best networks of eyes and ears.
I just realized I hooked up with this dude, the fact this video was recommended to me is absolutely insane
I got white. Thank you so much for making this video from the show it kind of seemed like blue were like the spy group or something. Red were like the magic cops and green did something. I’m glad to have a more concrete understanding of what they all do. I hope we get more in a season 2 to better understand each group and more of who these characters are
Honestly even though the wiki says that blue is social justice-y the books really gave the impression that it's the spy ajah....
"Everyone is the ghost of a 200 year old dead philosopher." --Bishop Robert Baron. While not using the same mechanism of our world, philosophers are real big movers and shakers of the world. It just takes a few centuries for the results.
I agree with you on the show’s portrayal of the Blue Ajah. I have not gotten into the books yet, and the show was honestly my first exposure to WoT, so I went into viewing as a sort of test as to whether I’d devote the bandwidth toward reading the series. It didn’t give me much of a sense for the dynamics or devotions discussed here. Hoping for better in S2!
Once again, a great video that is full of Daniels quirky and neurotic humor!!
I am a Blue with strong shadings of Green and Grey, which tracks with who I am as a person! Keep up the great work!
Ahhh the "trust me I'm not insulting nerds, I was one of them" argument! Never gets old.
This was great! Thank you, Daniel, informative and helpful.
I am 86% Yellow Ajah, 58% Green and 58% Brown...good times...heal the world!
Would've been nice to have Elyas in the series, as he tells Egwene and Perrin that he actually insulted some Reds (gleefully so) by accusing them of being Black sisters, since they hunted him on more than one occasion despite not being able to channel.
Absolutely love your break downs to help non readers understand things better. Thanks for the great videos daddy goblin...
Green Aja. Thanks for the video Daniel.
I got strong "Wash playing with his dinosaur toys" vibes from you when you were talking about whatever happened offscreen to the male channeler from the cold open. And I mean that in a very good way.
i'd end up a Blue, unionizing dockworkers in Tear and Ebou Dar.
I love this content on WoT. The show has been SO much easier to follow because of these vids.
Blue Ajah followed by Gray Ajah. It's funny because I'm a Daisy Girl Scout Leader and one of the lines in the quiz description of the Blues is "You pursue causes and justice in an attempt to make the world a better place." Part of the Girl Scout Law is "to protect and improve the world around me." (Also, Daisy Girl Scouts wear blue uniforms so that's funny as well.)
Thanks for this, as a person who never heard of WoT before the series came out I find all this backplot stuff so confusing and the wiki is just sooo much stuff so this helped a lot
I totally had the blue one wrong because when I watched the show they kinda made them out to be spies but this is sooo different
I took the quiz and I'm 93% Black Ajah.... kind of what I figured. No one "chooses" to be evil but with great power comes great opportunity.
Lol, come on. You have to be the worst Black Ajah ever if you actually got Black, on that quiz. Worse so if your ADMITTING it.
The thing about the Reds that have always bugged me the most is why don't Reds have female warders.
Don't remember if it was addressed in the books.
Female Warders aren’t a thing in the books until a spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler.
@@DanielGreeneReviews It's a pretty logical conclusion for someone who wants a warder just not a male one. I think it might have more to do with tradition rather than choice.
@@akshaysinghrai beware SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER [in the books, same-sex warders have a way higher emotional and overall coupling to their Aes Sedai, making it borderline impractical] SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER
@@akshaysinghrai SPOILERS FOR ALL BOOKS? I guess?
Conversely we dont really see Wetlander women taking up arms in many places outside of the Borderlands, and even then they arent in the army, just know how to protect themselves because well... Borderlands. I wonder how much that has to do with it. I mean in the books the only see a few women fighting with weapons ever. I feel like the culture established would just not be conducive to female warders. Now if the Wise Ones of the Aiel took warders that would have been a different story. Maidens serving as Warders would probably be a great combo.
@@akshaysinghrai Yup its a culture element of the books. In all of the cultures besides the Aiel, the woman do not really fight during that age. This changes as the series goes on. Not making woman warders is a big thing in the tower so yes you are correct it does seem obvious but also we know culture and tradition can blind people to possibilities.
I am overwhelmingly of the Yellow, with the next closest being Green and Gray. Which fits, to be honest.
My first instincts are to look out for people and help them if I can. Sometimes helping just means listening while someone works their way through their own problems.
Yellow here as well 😃 thank you for the refresh of the ajahs 👍
For some reason, I never pictured the Gray being third largest. I can only think of maybe two that we spend any time with in the books. Red and Green make sense, but I guess I figured Yellow would be next. Maybe that's just me projecting. Also, that quiz says I'm between Green and Blue. I'm Teal Ajah?
I assumed Grey would be the biggest BCS people do like political power and that's the one that gets you the closest to it.
considering how many people don't really appreciate the hard work of people in medicine in our current day and age, I am not surprised to see Yellow further down the list. Red is just... the obvious choice for people who just search for a purpose and a direct impact on the world (which are probably things many Accepted strive for when they choose), Green is kind of similar but less "I want to do good now" and more "I want to be ready when I need it".... Gray is the same again but in a "want influence on the whole picture" way. Brown is all the bookish kids.
For Yellow, I suppose you'd need quite a bit of willingness to help others and a tough stomach and resilience. Being a doctor is mentally and physically exhausting and you don't even save the world in return for that work...
And that Blue and White are the two least popular Ajahs is not surprising at all... White is just a bunch of philosophy nerds nerding out and Blues are the kids who would go organize protests and those are pretty rare, too...
@@chazz30000 well if the universe gave me the power to throw fireballs around i dont think id pick a life path which gave me the least opportunities to throw around fireballs, political power be damned
@@AverageAwesomeDude I mean, arguably that's (the least opportunity to throw around fireballs) Brown or White rather than Grey. (Thought I guess being a Tomb Raider Brown could be possible)
The greys tend to be spread out as they do have to physically be next to the rulers to advise them.
I am apparently one of the Blue Ajah! really glad to have known this, I feel in love with character of Moraine and now that I know my allegiance- my heart is elated!🥰
I’m also a Blue with a VERY strong leaning towards gray
Both the quiz and I (after having read the books) concluede with that I am brown. "Study the past to change the furture", paraphrasing Verin. The quiz says I have storg leaning towards blue, but I though I had that towards yellow, so we differ there.
Can't wait for the read along to continue.
As somebody whose been following you since you were a rookie youtuber doing videos in front of a single tiny bookcase I both get bummed and appreciate the fact you wont deep dive anymore to avoid spoilers for the new show fans.
I love wheel of time. The book series is so good. 1:53 love the hand movement. I’m 82 blue 76 brown, 52 yellow. And my lowest is 19 white
According to the quiz, I’m a grey with strong leanings to blue ⬜️🟦 Just started book 5 and only just come across a grey in the series- interested to see if there is more about them later
Im on book 5 as well, just started reading about Rand going to face the forsaken that killed Morgaise. Books are good, just cant get through a single Nyneave chapter without the author mentioning her bosom and the Lans ring nestling between her breasts :D
@@Deadpooln2b Dude, Spoilers!
@@moritzabel1662 Indeed. Unfortunately TH-cam doesn’t let you report comments for spoilers, so I’m trying to decide between spam and harassment.
@@Deadpooln2b Geeze man! Spoilers!
According to it, I'm a blue with strong grey leaning! 😁
I got White Ajah followed by Blue. Sarene and Seaine were two of my faves so I'm coo' with that, man.
Just took the quiz, and was surprised to see that I am 90% blue ajah! Thought I was going to be grey or brown, which were close behind, but apparently that's not the case. Great video, have a nice day, Dan!
There's also a good WoT origins video on the seven ajahs that's up on Prime Video. After watching this video I suggest people watching that as well.
Show runner has said that Elaida will be in season 2. They didn't want to cast her with very little to do in season 1. Guessing she will arrive with Elayne next season?
Thank god, i was scared they would try to merge her with liandrin
The show is horrible.
@@n0zenzur I mean you're entitled to your opinion
Yea it doesn't make sense to me to introduce Elaida so fast anyways. I remember her in the books but initially thought she would play a smaller role, then eventually she ballooned into something huge. I'd actually want her to have a more grand reveal tbh.
I think it's so interesting that you're a yellow, because when I was commenting earlier today on a tweet of yours I wrote that you had good energy, but the first thought that actually popped into my head was that you had caretaker energy. For example, how you gave fans a real time reaction after the premiere, walking across the bridge, knowing how anxious everyone would be about the show. I really appreciated that.
I am a Yellow Ajah! I thought I might be a Blue, but that fell 4th on my list. Thanks for the quiz, it was fun.
Great explanation for newcomers to the series! By the way, the show has a great visual representation of Ajahs in the opening sequence. The song fits it very well too. I like it so much I actually made two covers of it here on youtube - one is acoustic guitar and the other one is an all out metal version.
Just as an addition to this, if you thought of the blues as spies and agents, that wouldn't be far wrong. That is kind of their arena every time we see them. And it even makes sense with how they seek after causes amongst themselves, or having the largest spy networks, or like the actions of most of the biggest blue names we see.
So...
Red, Hunters/policemen of channelers (if you read the last books on the changed red ajah)
Blue, Spies/agents
Green, Soldiers
Brown, Historians/Researchers
Grays, Diplomats/Peacekeepers
Yellow, Healers
White, Philosophers/Scholars
I've always wondered why there are specifically 7 Ajahs and how Robert Jordan decided their goals. The division of browns, whites, and grays always bugged me until I realized they map onto the trivium (grammar, logic, and rhetoric) from medieval education. Too bad the other 4 don't map onto the quadrivium. That would have been cool.
That's so cool, I never noticed that.
Well, a music ajah or a geometry ajah wouldn't have necessarily been so cool anyway. Imagine being a fire wielding magical lady and spending all your time doing geometry!
@@harrymellish6308 an Ajah of architects :O
@@harrymellish6308 If there were a geometry Ajah, I would be in it.
Its kind of scary how much symbolism is in the Wheel of Time. Like apparently the Emond's Field 5 also tie into alchemical symbolism? Like they've already got Arthurian, Norse, and Slavic symbolism but the list just keeps building lol
What is the black ajah? I did the quiz abs that was my result but I’ve never read the books and it’s not in the show. Can you explain
Got brown. So true. Lmao. Great videos as always my man, keep it up!
💥 SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER 💥

One of my favorite elements about the Black Ajah is that, despite the “power” they gain by having the “tell no lie” oath released from them, they still have to be suuuuuuper careful not to be caught in an outright lie by any non-Black Aes Sedai around them, lest they accidentally out themselves as Black (!). It’s such a fun variation or reversion of the “twisted” truths normal Aes Sedai must employ. Blacks still have to pay close attention to what they say / how they speak. 🤓
Black was my secondary. And yeah-it must be very mentally draining to be a Black then!
I always enjoy your content Daniel!
I've seen myself as a Green, maybe just with one Warder, and this quiz agreed.
Green 88% followed closely by Yellow at 81% and Blue at 78%
Green and Yellow? That's ironic.
I took the Ajah quiz and was oddly surprised/pleased to come out as Green with a very, very close second being Grey. The thing I found most interesting was the more I considered the results the more I had to agree with them.
I got 82% blue Ajah. Loved it!!
I got Blue Ajah, even though I kinda expected to get Grey considering I'm a law student but I guess Blue tracks for that as well and grey was my second option so I guess I wasn't too far off
Blue is mostly associated with justice in a higher sense, while grey is more associated with order and law, so either make sense.
I am a law student as well and I got Brown (which was what I expected as well).
@@gokbay3057 I think brown was my third which also makes sense since we basically live in libraries, especially during finals, those are kinda the only three options that make sense for people in law
@@chrisblackburn6567 Blue was my second as well. Thought there was a pretty wide gap (Brown 88%, Blue 46%)
well being a law student probably skews you toward righting injustice, punishing the oppressores, etc.
I can't see the quiz linked in the description? :(
It's in the comment he pinned at the top, not the description.
As expected, I’m of the blue ajah😅
Thank you so much Daniel for these vids, keep up the great work, even with these explanation and deep dive videos about important matters from the books and series, they’re very well appreciated!🥰🙌🏼
Just started on the books as well as the show and I'm having a blast with both. (Blue)
I haven’t done the quiz but I’m probably blue though could fit into brown and yellow too
Haven't finished the books, only up to book two, but I've been wondering if it would be possible to make another Aes Sedai your warder, like is there something stopping you from making a bond with an Aes Sedai? It just seems like a thing that would've been done already if it was possible, who wouldn't want amped up Aes Sedai (other than whitecloaks lol), so im curious. If there is a reason and contains spoilers, please don't say what it is but thought i'd ask anyway.
Edit: Also, im a Blue
RAFO is all we can say
It's a good idea to think of the one power as a type of science, and the white tower as the bastion of traditionalists who take certain things like the bond as "this is the way we've always done it" and discourage/punish speculation and experimentation.
The quiz says I’m a blue Ajah. That fits. Thanks for the break down.
💛Yellow Ajah, though no big surprise given my job. Great break down!
Hoping we get to see the yellows do some actual healing. So far they seem pointless in the show since Moraine seems to be able to heal everything they’ve come across. Even Mat.
It rather seemed to me that she was only able to heal Mat because he hadn't had the dagger as long as in the books, and that they were foreshadowing his retrieval of the dagger. If that all goes down as expected, we know from Moiraine that she will not be able to heal him, and we'll likely see the Yellows really do their thing. Also, even in the books Moiraine was an unusually talented healer, for a Blue. I almost wonder if that was part of some Talent, as it doesn't relate to her strength in the different flows, wherein Earth is most notable.
I have always had this feeling that Jordan made from Red Ajah something similar to Slytherin. In a sense that if a person is Red, than she is 100% evil. Daniel compared Reds to hunters, I'd say police or Red Cross would be even better comparison. And after all, would anyone of us want to live close to a person, who with 100% probability will soon go mad, became super strong and most probably start hurting others? No, most probably we will try to get this person placed in some kind of a safe environment, away from us. And yeah, medicine will be bitter, any might have very unpleasant consequences, but this is the question of one person suffering versus many people.
I also don't think all Reds would choose to go without Warden, after all, their chosen specialty is a dangerous one, and they are actually the ones working with most danger on a day-to-day basis. So yeah, this is totally on Jordan. I actually really like how in show they at least a bit tried to humanize Reds, for example with Liandrin back story.
The lack of Warders is a Ajah culture thing. The Red don't officially hate men, but if a woman becomes Aeis Sedai and ALREADY hates men, which Ajah do you think she's most likely going to choose? And then this would foster a culture of man-hating within the Reds in a sort of feedback loop, to the point where the Reds who don't hate men would be ostracized within their own Ajah for taking a warder.
Brown Ajah, considering I liked college so I could learn everything about anything when I wasn't taking education classes.... It fits. I loved learning about philosophy, psychology, history, science, art, literature and sometimes miss being in college because of all the different options of subjects you could take. Taking notes (which I still have) and reading textbooks while never leaving the campus... Brown sister written all over me
Yellow?
I'm a healthcare worker (mental health counselor), and dedicate the majority of my life to helping and healing others. But I have learned that the universe doesn't give a damn about good, evil, or anyone. All the light will eventually fade, and darkness and entropy will be the ultimate end-state.
I'm of the White Ajah with a very close 6% (7% differential to Grey) relation to Blue. Which is actually spot on. I Love the philosophy of it all but firmly believe knowledge and talk must be followed up with affirmative action.
Most: Blue Ajah- 81%
Least: Tie between the White and Black Ajah- 22%
I'm surprised I usually get the generic villains in this sort of thing.
🟦 I'm a Blue apparently...!! Love it! thanks for the quiz! 🟦
I've always been Blue and what's funny is that this translated into my real life work as a social worker. I'm constantly advocating and working to help make things better, hopefully. I like to think Moiraine would be proud
I think I noticed a mistake that you didn't catch in editing, and there was also something that I kind of disagree with based on my impressions of the book.
My impression of the Blue Ajah was always that their primary purpose was to gather information for the tower. They seemed to have the biggest network of informants and spies.
Also, you said it might be assumed that Moriane was Green since she was "hunting" the dragon. Did you mean red? I know that she was only hunting him because of the prophecy, but generally Greens don't go out to hunt anything.. they prepare for battles.
What better way to prepare for battle than finding your most powerful weapon (if it doesn't turn against you) and using it against your enemy while it's still weak? Pro gamer move.
@Brian, great points. Thanks for correcting amazons lapdog
Nope. They have the best spy network because it helps them with their purpose. They're pretty tight mouthed when it comes to passing that information along to the rest of the tower, so wouldn't really make sense anyway.
Good points all! It's been a while since I've read the books, but those were my interpretations.
It’s so crazy how the Ajah members on the show only wear their Ajah colors 🤦🏾♂️. It’s not that serious lol. Nobody can wear one color everyday for the rest of their lives especially when they live for hundreds of years. It sounds like a horrible penance.
I think it's just a visual aid from a filmmaking perspective, it certainly helped me distinguish the ajahs at first and since i had never even heard of wheel of time i thought is was nice
Lol for five years I wore green or tan depending on the time of year... people wear uniforms all the time while working 😅
But I agree it's not that serious for Aes Sedai, they're just trying to make it more obvious in the show so people understand
The purposes of the Ajahs are all a cover story. Really they pick them based on their favorite colors.
@@zoe8880 ok, here's your interwebs award! You're welcome! Also, all YT comment sections can be shut down for the day now 😂
Thanks for this video!! Haven't read books so my knowledge is limited lol. What is an eyeelman (sorry about spelling)
Hello Daniel, just a little comment to tell you thanks for your videos. I ve discovered your channel quite recently while deeping in the wonderful world of the wheel of time books. I ve made the ajah test and i m myself very suprise but i m in the blue ajah. Befor answering to it i would have described myself as part of the yellow one, as i am apharmacist in real life. But as the result came i had to admit that justice is also very important for me. Indeed i had a vry good time watching that video and i will probably depp into your other videos. Maybe i will discover what i would read after the whell of time there. But i have still plenty of time, as i am curently reading book 2 of the wheel of time serie. Have a nice day
From the description I knew I would be either blue or gray. According to the quiz, blue it is!
Just finished a reread of LOTR + Hobbit and I can't decide on what to read next. It's between The Wheel of Time and The Gentleman Bastards series, The Wheel of time is a lot longer but a finished series whereas The Gentleman Batards is shorter but unfinished. Any advice?
Brown Aja here. Gimme that cup of tea and book!
I got Blue Ajah, with Grey and Brown a bit behind practically tied for a 2nd. That honestly fits me fairly well.
I am a blue. Not too surprising. Thanks Daniel for the fun video and quiz!
Thank you for your wonderful breakdown of the Ajah's. Like you I am a fellow yellow sister with a leaning towards the blue, which for me makes sense. Which secondary do you lean towards.?
Very entertaining and fun
Thanks for this video - much more coherent explanations than mine, you helped my husband, who is watching the show with me without having read the books, a lot! :)
I got brown with 89%, closely followed by blue, then grey, then yellow... Well, I'm a scientist and a nerd, so it fits :D
Blue! With leanings toward Grey. Very interesting, but fitting. Blue is my favorite color after all lol
I got the Brown Ajah, followed closely by Blue and then White. That fits me rather well!
If I remember right, it's also the task of the Blue Ajah to seek out young girls who can channel, and bring them to the White Tower.
But it's been quite a few years since I read the books, so I might be wrong about that.
I got blue ajah, Love your content Daniel
I’m 🔵 with a close ⚪️ and 🟢. I read most of the series in college and never finished it. I’ve stated EofW again and am enjoying it.
in tv series blue ajah are describe somewhat like the intelligence division , is it also true as well in the novel?
I got Yellow Ajah! Which is exactly what I wanted but I was worried I’d get Blue and that was my second 😂
I got White Ajah and Yellow was a very close runner-up. It's actually exactly what I expected to get
