In celebration of International Women's Day, the Red Ajah at the White Tower Social Group is presenting International Women's Week. If anyone would like to participate, they can find the main topic (with links to further events) here. You can also find more information on the worldwide activities here: http://www.ariyena.com/IWW/ You can organise your own activity, or join in one or more of those already posted up. I've organised the following WoT inspired activity, for instance: Activity: Wear the ancient symbol of the Aes Sedai in support of equality everywhere. As the Ancient Symbol of the Aes Sedai represented the equality of male and f…

I was thinking about writing a bio for a Freelander, but the links for the guidelines and format in the "Freelander's Info" are broken, or at least they aren't working for me. Can someone please direct my in the direction of bio writing guidelines and format? Thanks, Jain Farstrider

Amadine sat quietly at the desk in the front of the room waiting for her students to arrive. She had booked one of the smaller classrooms for these lessons as she was not expecting an overly large class. This was not the first lesson Amadine had taught since becoming Accepted some years ago, but it was the first time she had been trusted to teach the complete Introduction to Saidar course without some form of Aes Sedai supervision. The girls dressed in pristine Novice white dresses began arriving. She smiled at each and motioned for them to take a seat. They chatted quietly amongst themselves until the prescribed time for the class to begin. At that time Amadine rose…

Tomoyuki stared at the town surrounding the Black Tower. Well, what he could see of it any way. There was a large gate blocking the way. The shock of traveling such a long way by Gateway was washed away now that he had visual confirmation that this place existed. His trip from Cairhien to Tear had been very introspective, and it almost seemed like the recruiters in the city recognized him on sight. He still wished he would have taken an offered horse to Tear. But his conscience told him that the man offering it to him wasn't in his right mind in the first place. The other man probably had more use for it than Tomo. So, he had walked the whole trip from his hometow…

Standing at the front of the classroom, Gera wrote on the chalkboard. Cairhien Andor Borderlands Tear, Mayene, Illian The far westlands She had broken down the nations into the five categories that made the most sense to her. Another player might break them down differently, but Gera could only teach what she knew, and she only knew what she’d been taught. When the girls arrived, Gera welcomed them all in. Once everyone was seated, she motioned to the board. “These are the five sections of today’s lesson. Please take notes throughout the lesson.” Pausing for a deep breath, Gera turned back to the class. “Cairhien is the nation I am most familiar with,…

My aunt passed away yesterday and we need to arrange the funeral and such more, so I'll be on reduced activity for about a week. Kathleen and Keyholder can handle all pressing matters and I will check in but I won't be able to do much more than the utmost urgent things. Thanks for understanding and your patience. Myst

Description The Bio Checkers (BC) are people that have a good understanding of what a character biography should look like. They know the specific requirements for each Guild (7) as well as the overall rules and conditions that must be met to approve a biography of any FL character. They will work with the member to make sure their bio is ok before posting the approved bio on the biography board at the PSW. FL BC job description I am looking for highly active and dedicated people for this position who have (or are willing to acquire) a thorough knowledge of the various requirements for each of the 7 Guilds. They must also be willing to do some record keeping…

Alright boys, you know the drill. It's about time for me to make my monthly report on the staff board, so I need to know who is out and about. So, if you'll all kindly make a little something something here, it would be muchly appreciated. Just the usual information. Handle, character name, rank. Slackers will be balefired. Repeatedly.* Arath Faringal Character- Arath Faringal - Storm Leader Daevis Thelandran - Asha'man * Don't ask how that's possible. Trust me, I have my ways ...

Leala has just been raised to Accepted, hoorah! For one of her reqs, I'd like to have her at least interact with a full Sister of the White Ajah. They can travel, or the Sister can awaken in her an awareness of her love for logic and the search for truth. However, it would be nice just to have a Sister who would at least direct her toward the White. Either way, this should be fun. :) Please reply or PM me, whichever you want.

Doha yawned as she lazily weaved a crown of wild flowers. She had traveled miles away from Fal Dara into the leafy forest for this? "Perhaps I truly am mad." she muttered as she reminisced of a time before, when she had met a wolf in this very forest. The wolf had promised her guidance. "Whatever guidance could be offered for a mad woman? I may as well fancy about marrying princes and wearing dresses with bonnets, and lace!" she exclaimed. Doha hated lace. She was feminine in certain ways, such as weaving flowers and dancing, but her other personal traits were those of the armed men in Shienar. "She even called me 'Dancer' or something. Of course I would hall…

Namo Shanko has successfully completed the The Way of the Warrior lessons and is ready to join the Society of his choice. Amegakure, you may choose your Society or you may RP your choice. Congratulations!!

Sitting in her classroom, Gera observed every detail of the space. It calmed her to practice the skills that had made her a wealthy woman back in Cairhien. If things had gone differently, her old mentor might have selected another to take over his web, leaving Gera as simply his most senior informant... if she had been left there, she would either have become a lieutenant to the new Spy master, or she would have been found dead somewhere. Luckily, she had been selected. As the first students came into the class, Gera observed them too, noting the few indicators of nationality that the Tower let girls keep. There were Andorans, Borderlanders of every stripe, gir…

The house lay still, finally, the quiet belying the events that had taken place merely an hour ago. A man sat on the floor, legs crossed and head in his hands, silently shaking with tears of grief. A woman lay in a large puddle of burgundy liquid, her dark eyes open but staring at nothing. A large chunk of mirror protruded from her back, the glass reflecting some of the chaos. Miahna sagged against the doorframe, not caring that splinters snagged her dress. Her legs threatened to send her sprawling to the floor, but she ground her teeth and stayed straight. She needed to ensure that the danger was over. Saidar pulsed through her, its sweet feeling the only thing ke…

And so I'm back, from outer space. You just walked in to find me here with this sad look upon my face. ... I was going to try to repurpose all of "I Will Survive" but I don't think it works past this line. But, I owe you all an apology for disappearing. I'm back, and I'm going to do my best to communicate quite a bit more, and if I need to disappear again, I will let people know when/why/how long. I'm very sorry.

The following is a list of classes that at one time or another have been available through the WT RP group. They need editing and re-working for the current "age" and feel of the White Tower but they will give potential teachers and students a great place to start. Please Note: all classes - including these - must be approved by the Mistress of Novices before they can be RPed to count as reqs. These classes MAY NOT be posted as is. They must be rewritten in your own words! Also for now the classes will be hidden until they have been read through by the WTRP Staff. Stay tuned!

Posting this a bit earlier than expected, starting college tomorrow then going up north. Be gone for about 1 and a half to 2 weeks, coz at the end of this week I'm going to visit my mum who just got back in the country, so won't have a chance to check DM. Myst I'll still be making your coffees :P

OOC: This RP is set about 90 20 years before the current Timeline. It is a solo RP, and begins Elin’s discovery of her Talent. Edited for minor changes to bring up to a more modern time. IC: It was dusty in the store rooms, and not the pleasant kind of dusty one finds in a bakery, where the dust is mostly flour. Here is was simply a lack of presence. Wherever people spend time, the place takes on a feel... conversely, where people are not allowed, where people refuse to go... there is an absence. The storerooms were such a place. It had been seventy years since she was raised to the Shawl, almost eighty-five since she left that small village in Amadicia. Over the …

Anyone available to teach this lesson?

ooc: Sorry about the length, I usually post longer, but I wanted to get this up here for you *g*. -- The Wise One shielded her eyes as she watched the progress of the sun. The yellow ball stood high in the sky, though it wasn’t quite halfway yet. Around her, the hold was bustling; children ran chasing each other, women making jewelry or food, men and Far Dareis Mai shapening their spears their postures relaxed but always ready for anything. Rixan dropped her hand and stepped back into the tent behind her. Her lesson would soon commence. The first lesson she would teach as a Wise One. She was barely back from Rhuidean, the knowledge of what was beyond the …

We've talked for a long time now about getting new banners to put up at the top of the Ajah pages at the WT site here. Limi has now made us some - have a look and let me know if you like them or not.

I wish to thank Eqwina for her years of service in that position, and extend my regrets that her IRL situation has made it impossible for her to continue. We hope to have you actively RPing with us again soon, hon! *snuggles* Now please join me in stabbing welcoming the new Black Ajah Head, Kathleen

Just wanted to let you know that the silly RP we've been discussing is finally taking off. I posted sign ups on the Welcome Inn board: http://www.dragonmount.com/forums/topic/56471-bale-trojan-style-sign-ups-attn-dmers/#entry1751999 Feel free to sign up. It wouldn't be much of a time commitment seeing as you can post in it as much as you like. Also, if you feel so inclined, please wear the siggy I made for the event: I'll try and post about this RP a bit on the Social Side of things to see if anyone there is interested, but feel free to let your friends know. EVERYONE is welcome, RPers or not. ^_^ Nyn CotL RGL

The gardens at Tar Valon were lush and green at this time of year. They were orderly and peaceful, a place of respite from the bustle of Tower life -- but not for those initiates set to tend them. This day, Auriane was counted among that unfortunate number, and luckily there was no rain. She was part of a small group of Novices tending some rosebushes in the west of the grounds. Flimsy shears and ineptitude at the task could cause many a minor injury, and some of the group grumbled while they worked, but for the most part there was idle chatter without a stern cook or maid watching over them, aside from the occasional hiss at a thorn’s scratch. Auriane wondered why th…

Arms held loosely at her side and her eyes searching the room, Leala watched and waited to see if her students needed any help. She was teaching a small, basic mathematics class this morning. This was the second class, and her students seemed to be adjusting well to her teaching style. She had only been in the striped dress for a few days, and Valeri Sedai charged her specifically for this class. She was happy to find that her body had matured enough to fit the second hand dress well enough without having to worry about her dimensions. She remembered wondering how the two awkward dresses handed to her would last the first few days of being a Novice. Now, the only co…

As part of a line of Novices working in the kitchen, Leala was in charge of drying. Another girl would rinse the dishes, one would scrub until all the impurities were gone, and the first in the line would scrape until all the larger pieces were off the dishes. The girl had been part of the White Tower for a good long while and had grown into a young woman there as well. She wondered what her father would think of her at this point. He was the only one she had bonded with in Caemlyn. Her mother was more preoccupied with training Tobias to take over the family after she was gone. And Tobias never let her forget that no matter how much she tried, she would never amount…

I've got the Novice Life and Choice RP requirements left for my Novice-dom, and was wondering if there was anyone else also needing to get these done. :) For the Choice RP, I'm quite happy to Meet a Roommate, have a Freeday, be Homesick. I'd quite like to RP chores for Novice Life, so won't consider at the moment doing that for Choice. I just love doing chores, they're a lot of fun to RP. (Gardening, anyone?!) My character's also pretty much illiterate as she arrives at the Tower, and is being taught to write by some Brown who snatched her upon learning this, so if there aren't any Novices about doing Choice RP, I'd be just as glad if any Brown could teach me to read …

OOC: I've been gone for a long while, so I thought to get back into the game by just posting a free flowing RP. It will end when it's done, and anyone can join in. :) Horses were the spawn of the Dark One. Elin was sure of it. The blasted things simply could not be creatures of the Light with how uncomfortable they made Elin. The dress she was wearing was a dark red, per tradition, and it matched the fringe of her shawl. It gave her some satisfaction to ride into Tar Valon, boldly proclaiming both that she was Aes Sedai and that she was of the Red Ajah. Too many weeks spent in the central lands had taught her how unpopular her chosen vocation could be. The Childre…
