An Ajah of the [Aes Sedai]. The red Ajah bends its energies to finding men who can [channel|True Source] and [gentling|Stilling] them.

# [Tor Website Q&A|Guide]
## Jordan states, "There are various ways that the ''effects'' of male channeling can be found, weaves that find the resonance of the residues of %%ot [saidin|Said]%%. Check in Crossroads of Twilight. They do not detect the actual weaves, though, only the residues left after the weave is released. After that, it becomes a matter of detective work. Though perhaps stalking a leopard might be a better metaphor. As for [Cadsuane], she has a few more tools at her disposal than other [Aes Sedai], the reason for her extremely high success rate. Check Winter's Heart, and a few earlier mentions, for this one."
