Brown Ajah
General
The Brown Ajah is one of the seven Ajahs of the White Tower and dedicates itself to knowledge. Some Browns seek to study whatever catches their interest, others focus solely on trying to find knowledge that has been lost, from the Age of Legends, or later (TGH, Ch. 2). Within the White Tower, it is the Browns who run the Tower Library. Curiously, all three Sea Folk sisters are members of the Brown Ajah.
The stereotype of a Brown sister is someone who is not fully aware of the world and is too engrossed in their own thoughts or studies to know what is happening around them (TGH, Ch. 2). This is true for many of them, though some, such as Verin, put it on to an extent. She is however, capable of getting distracted easily if something interesting comes up and totally forgetting what she was first working on, or even that it was raining (TGH, Ch. 41). Though often unwordly, since Tetsuan, four Browns have been raised Amyrlin, Balladare Arandaille, Doniella Alievin, Igaine Luin and Zeranda Tyrim (TWoRJTWoT, Ch. 24).
