Green Ajah
From A Wheel of Time Wiki
“Browns seek knowledge, Blues meddle in causes, and Whites consider the questions of truth with implacable logic. We all do some of it all, of course. But to be a Green means to stand ready. In the Trolloc Wars, we were often called the Battle Ajah. All Aes Sedai helped where and when they could, but the Green Ajah alone was always with the armies, in almost every battle. We were the counter to the Dreadlords. The Battle Ajah. And now we stand ready, for the Trollocs to come south again, for Tarmon Gai'don, the Last Battle. We will be there. That is what it means to be a Green.”
— Alanna Mosvani
The Green Ajah of the Aes Sedai holds itself ready for the final battle between good and evil, Tarmon Gai'don, when the Dark One breaks free and must be opposed. They are sometimes called the "Battle Ajah". The head of the Green Ajah is known as the Captain-General. Greens have a long history of friendship with the Blues, and generally oppose the Red. However, they do not oppose the gentling of men who can channel. Not only are members of the Green Ajah fantastic at utilizing their Power in times of war, but they are also wonderful strategists who can plan effective battle strategies
In ancient times, the Greens were the counterpart of the Dreadlords -- male and female channelers who had openly accepted the Shadow. The Dreadlords were the generals who lead the armies of Trollocs, Myrddraal, and Draghkar. Dreadlords were the only members of the Shadow's armies who could match the power of the Green Ajah, and the battles between the two were climactic enough to destroy many from either side.
[edit] Warders
Greens are willing to bond more than one Warder. Even though it may be a source of humor in the White Tower to find a member of the Green Ajah with nearly a half-dozen Warders, it was not entirely a frivolous practice: in the old wars, their amount of Warders made a positive difference. The Greens are also known for their love of men; this can be reflected in their amount of Warders. They are also the Ajah that has the most cheerful and cajoling members: in a world where the White Ajah is cold and remote, the Red Ajah is proud (and in some cases "evil"), and the Brown Ajah oblivious and dreamy, the Green Ajah acts like a breath of fresh air with their nonchalant and carefree nature. In this, the Green Ajah is almost the ideological opposite of the Red Ajah. Some of the Greens like men to such an extent that they may even marry their Warder, although those Greens that do only have one, perhaps in an attempt not to create marital problems by constantly being bonded to multiple men.
