An Ajah of the [Aes Sedai]. The red Ajah bends its energies to finding men who can [channel|True Source] and [gentling|Stilling] them. Although women cannot detect %%ot [saidin|Said]%%, they can read the residue of the weaves and that is their primary tool for tracking. [Galina Casban], the head of the Red Ajah, is called the Highest. After [Galina]'s disappearance [Tsutama Rath] is elected Highest. When the [White Tower] split, all of the Red Ajah remained loyal to the [Tower|White Tower]. !

References (Possible Spoilers) %%collapse * [Tor Website Q&A|../books/guide/index.html#3] - Jordan states, "There are various ways that the ''effects'' of male channeling can be found, weaves that find the resonance of the residues of ''[saidin|../../main/true_source/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." * [NS,Ch3] - [Moiraine] and [Siuan] wonder what the Red Ajah will do about the [Dragon Reborn|../characters/r/rand]. * [NS,Ch14|../books/new_spring/ch14] - There is long standing animosity between the [Blue Ajah] and the Red Ajah. * [TEotW,Ch12] - The prime duty of the Red Ajah is to hunt down men who can [channel|../main/true_source/index] and [gentle|../main/true_source/stilling] them. * [TEotW,Ch23] - The Red Ajah wanted to [gentle|../main/true_source/stilling] [Elyas Machera|../characters/e/elyas] when they learned that he could talk with wolves. * [TEotW,Ch33] - In a dream, [Thom] asks [Rand] if the Red Ajah or the Black will find him first. * [TEotW,Ch43] - The Red Ajah believes that the [Ogier] worsened the [Breaking] by offering sanctuary to male [Aes Sedai]. * [The Eye of the World],Glossary - Red Ajah sisters do not have [Warders]. * [TGH,Ch4] - The recent alliance between the [Green Ajah] and the Red Ajah is strange.
