He had heard only very little about Carra Sedai and the founding of the Red Ajah within the Grey Tower, but he knew it still made some uneasy. Their cousins in the White Tower were notorious for containing some of the most crazy Aes Sedai in history, ending with the Amyrlin Seat Elaida. They were also rumored to hold the highest percentage of Black Ajah members of all the Ajahs in the White Tower. Most of the rumors about Aes Sedai Kiellan had heard in Ebou Dar, at least the better informed ones, spoke of the merciless Red Ajah, hunting men who had the ability to channel and gentling them. Kiellan shuddered at the thought.
The Red's purpose in the Grey Tower, as Jaryd explained, seemed to be completely different, and much less prone to corruption. The Asha'man spoke of balance, something that Kiellan had given some thought as well. Although he had never seen Shadowspawn in his life, he had heard plenty of stories about them, and those were terrible enough that Kiellan could wholeheartedly support this Ajah's cause. He had also heard stories about the Horn of Valere, and ta'veren, and found the whole thing incredibly interesting. The Light seemed to be much more subtle than the Shadow, but at least as effective.
Kiellan flinched at Jaryd's mention of unstable male channelers and what should be done about it, now giving Kiellan a clear link to the White Tower's Red Ajah, but as he thought about it, it seemed logical. There was no denying the danger of channeling, and if that power was in the hands of a madman, he should be stopped. And the Ajah seemed noble overall, although a bit harsh. It gave Kiellan something to think about.
"Yes, Asha'man, thank you. I appreciate your time, but I must be going now, or I'll be late. I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to talk." With a final bow, Kiellan waited for the Asha'man to bid him goodbye and walked off, in the direction of the Soldier Quarters.
OOC: sorry it took so long, it's been hard to find the time
But thought it'd be best to just wrap it up. I'm doing some exploration now with Bella, and I'll see what else Kiellan needs after that, but I'll let you know if he's interested in the Red!
