A random thought about the Blue and Red Ajahs
Posted: February 26th, 2017, 9:48 pm
So....across multiple communities I am part of, the Blue Ajah is associated with "justice," but that designation really has no bearing in the actual WoT series version of the Ajah. It seems to have been a sort of....tacked on addendum....to summarize the Blue Ajah, and really isn't all that accurate.
On the other hand, our specific Red Ajah has sort of transformed and become hyper-focused on reversing the Shadow's influence on the world by whatever means necessary, which usually boils down to...enacting vigilante justice on those deserving of it. They don't work through the court systems, but they ARE singularly educated, well trained, and purposeful in their pursuit of that goal.
What I would like to contemplate...not act on just yet maybe, but contemplate....is the idea of allowing the Blue Ajah to focus on personal causes and driving passion for those causes as they did in the actual series, while passing the "in search of justice" one-liner to the Red Ajah.
Thoughts on this?
