white tower org info (both aes sedai and warders)

The White Tower- Of course, since you have read the books, you know all about the infrastructure of the tower and the political games they play... Good, you will fit right in. First you should know how the ranks are here. You do not start out as a novice ot gaidin trainee at this site. This is for several reasons. First, it would make it difficult to play the great game correctly. Second, this way you will have some freedom if you can manage the game well enough to get out from under the older sisters and or warders. You will start as a newly raised sister or gaidin. Your first post should be your testing and raising. Oh, did I say post? I meant thread.

Ranks for sisters-

1. New Sisters- new sisters stay new sister for about 20 years game time. To be raised out of this rank you must already have learned your Ajah’s inners secrets, Ajah Politics and traditions, as well as PC growth. Note you have a good long time to work with- use it to become embroiled in or weave as many nets as you want. There are no set number of posts here, just good steady role play and realistic speed PC development. (Compare Moraine and Siuan of New Spring to that of The Great Hunt and you’ll see what we mean. Also The formative years of your PCs career will dictate the direction she takes for the rest of her life, so play it well.) The second ten years of Aes Sedai hood are also a good time to find a warder. Please see notes below of bonding rules,

2. Experienced sisters- Experienced Sisters are the next on the rung. As always good rping over game time will promote you. Leadership in Ajah, Ajah Eyes and Ears , Head, Counselor to King or Queen or Royalty are Awarded as the game runs based on a PC’s choices, a players dedication to the board and openings in positions. (right now everyone but Amyrilin and Keeper are open) The more you play the better placed you are for power and the more you’ll be trusted with it.

3. Sitter- Be involved in many plots have own spy network, be raised and feared by other sisters and at least 100 years raised to the shawl.

4. Keeper- raised by Amyrilin (probably approved by the Hall) (taken)

5.Amyrilin – raised by Hall- (TAKEN for now though)

Ranks for gaidin-

1. new gaidin- you will be new gaidin or new meat for awhile. trainees are not worth harassing, they are children who know nothing, you on the other hand... well lets just say every new gaidin needs to be brought down a notch. have fun. you will be new gaidin untill your character grows in personality and acquires at least one weapon. you will start with one main weapon and two you can handle without doing personal injury.

2. expierenced gaidin- now people will not tease you quite as much, you are the run of the mill gaidin. we ask that you bond at this point or after. This is not to limit you, but to make sure your character is fully developed, and the bond will not create you, but you the bond. also this will allow you to be fully developed, this will insure that you are you, and were your aes sedai to leave the board you would still be you. You will be raised from this due to activity and posting.

3. minor leadership- head of the trainees, weapon master, instructor, blades master... all of these come with much time and effort, as well as positions open.

4. head gaidin- takes years of effort, that is really all that can be said about it.
The warders will have differnet ranking than the aes sedai
