Just a quick question....why does the Keeper need to be a Red??  Yes, generally the Keeper is chosen from the Ammy's Ajah, but there is precedent in the books about choosing one from a different Ajah.  Is it just keep things nice and neat and easy to maintain??

We should totally trick Shendare/Jon into doing it.. just sayin' >_>

Well we have tried the different ajahs thing and it didn't work well and each time we ended up with problems, so we are going to do from the same ajah this time.

Ahh...I see.  Fair enough!

Avalon, i think that's just to both increase the chance they agree on the important matters (being in the same Ajah) as well as know each other previously (again from being in the same Ajah).

 

At least, i get the impression that the times a Keeper wasn't raised from the Amyrlin's Ajah were all purely done for diplomatic reasons to increase support amongst the Sitters. Which would make the most sense, considering a couple of stunts like this were pulled in the Books as well.

 

Lanfir Leah Marithsen becomes the Amyrlin Seat with the support of the Red/Gray/Green faction. Whites act as the decisive factor and other Ajahs support her choice over Asyndara of the Blue when Lanfir promises to take a Blue Keeper. Asyndara is exiled from the WT. Lanfir fails to keep her promise and chooses her old friend Lyanna instead and this angers Blues, Browns and Yellows who actively form an faction that opposes the rest of the Hall.

 

Happens in our own little Timeline as well, in fact ^^;

It honestly sounds like fun... wish I wasn't a swamped monkey, or else I'd try and snatch it for myself! *grins*  I hope everyone gives it a shot that has a lick of spare time, though :)

Thanks Jeh, that's a perfect example. *G*

Gah Jeh, way to post at the same time as me *giggles*

 

Erm.. but yeah, good job spotting that... you get fresh brownies sometime ;D

As I said, if it is to manage things better OOC, then I have no problems with it.  But I think it can open up all sorts of interesting RP's if the Keeper is from a different Ajah, which was the basis of my question.  Why limit it?  But I can see how it can make some things sticky OOC. 

*nods* LOL well we shall see how it goes, if it dosen't work then we will re-evaluate it. *G*

So should I just update my Emperelda bio?  I mean... I know you want me as the Keeper....

Oh yes darling, you go right ahead and do that and submit with the rest. I promise to give it the due respect it deserves. *winks*
