==Senior Member Interview==

''January 13, 2016''

*;'''Why did you choose Yellow?'''
Well, there are a few reasons. Firstly, I am an RN and I've always loved tea and been interested in herbs, so, Yellow was always on my radar. When I joined TV, the head of the Yellowstone at the time was the first person to really be friendly to me and so, my decision was made. I'm part of the Old Guard, so, back in my day, there was no guesting, you joined an Ajah as accepted and that was that.

*'''Are you like the Yellows in the Books? Do you care for people and love to heal things?'''
Yes, very much like the book Yellow, I like tea and to heal things. Being a real life Nurse, it's quite fitting. The main difference is that I don't feel that I have the ego and attitude that some book Yellows are known for.

*;'''Do you have a favorite Yellow Ajah character from the novels?'''
Hmm...that's a tough question. My absolute favourite book character is Elayne, but favourite Yellow, that's tough. I love Nynaeve as well, her tenacity and loyalty, so, I suppose her even though that feels like a generic answer.

*;'''How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?'''
Oh, gosh, I guess I started reading in early 2002.

*;'''How did you first get into the series?'''
An actor I did a a show with once gave me EotW to read. Took about 6 months to really get into it.

*;'''Who is your favorite "hero"?'''
I would say, in the end because of everything she gave in Tarmon Gaidon, it would be Egwene. She annoyed me in much of the series, but in the end, I had made respect for her.

*;'''Favorite bad guy/gal?'''
I'd say probably Graendal.

*;'''Favorite book and scene?'''
I honestly have no idea, hahaha!!

*;'''If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?'''
Aes Sedai, definitely. Possibly Amyrlin, but definitely an HoA, or a Princess.

*;'''How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become a Senior Member?'''
After I started reading EotW, I wanted to interact with other readers. I'd already been immersed in other Internet Fandoms, so, it was a natural progression for me. It took me awhile to find TV, but I finally did through a Web search. I stayed because of the people and the community.

*;'''What do you do in "real life"?'''
I'm a Recovery Room Nurse & a writer with my DH.

*;'''Do you have any hobbies?'''
Reading (obvi), acting, writing, hiking, beaching, catting, gaming (video and board), being with hubby/friends/family, singing...

*;'''What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?'''
Pretty much anything except for gangsta rap, hard metal and twangy country.

*;'''What are some of your favorite movies / television shows?'''
The Little Mermaid, Frozen, Tangled, Ever After, Clue, Maleficient, Roswell, Hawaii 5-0, Survivor, Amazing Race, Downton Abbey, Sleepy Hollow, Game of Thrones...

*;'''Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?'''
The Chronicles of the Ancient Earth, The Stephanie Plum books, The Wilders series, Harry Potter...

*;'''What profession did you want to have when you grew up?'''
I wanted to be a teacher, an actress or a nurse.

''October 4, 2015''

*;'''Why did you choose Yellow?'''
There was just something special about Yellow! The mission of the Ajah fit in with my goals and the way I want to live my life. The Aes Sedai and Warders were/are awesome, and I felt a strong desire to contribute and belong. I left the Ajah for a few weeks while guesting to make sure it was the right choice, and the whole time I was away I kept wishing I were in Yellow.

*;'''Are you like the Yellows in the Books? Do you care for people and love to heal things?'''
Overall, I do love to care for people and heal things. Sometimes I have a cynical attitude toward humanity, but overall I strive to treat people around me with kindness. I’m also passionate about working to heal problems in society, such as agricultural, environmental, and social justice issues.

*;'''Do you have a favorite Yellow Ajah character from the novels?'''
I like Nynaeve, even though she can be irritating sometimes.

*;'''How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?'''
Since I was 10. So, about 15 years.

*;'''How did you first get into the series?'''
I saw the first book in Barnes & Noble, was intrigued by the cover art, and decided to give it a try. I’m glad for that impulse buy, because I became hooked!

*;'''Who is your favorite “hero”?'''
Moiraine! She’s totally bad-ass.

*;'''Favorite bad guy/gal?'''
Elaida. She is just so crazy and mean. Practically every Elaida scene I read has me fuming.

*;'''Favorite book and scene?'''
Pretty much all of New Spring because Moiraine.

*;'''If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?'''
Definitely Aes Sedai! We are super cool.

*;'''How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become a Senior Member?'''
There was an advertisement for it in From the Two Rivers, so I decided to check it out. The people, activity, and sense of community are what have convinced me to stay.

*;'''What do you do in "real life”?'''
Most of my jobs have been in organic farming or nutrition, but currently, I’m working as an English teaching assistant in France. I plan to go to grad school next year to study sustainable agricultural development.

*;'''Do you have any hobbies?'''
I like to play the violin and mandolin and go rock climbing, walking, and biking. I also like arts and crafts such as knitting and scrapbooking.

*;'''What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?'''
Many kinds, except for jazz, heavy metal, and pop.

*;'''What are some of your favorite movies / television shows?'''
TV: The X-Files, Arrested Development, The Killing, An Honorable Woman, Cosmos, Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Fringe, Orange is the New Black, American Horror Story. I also have a soft spot for the British Baking Show-- oh, those Brits!
Movies: Ever After, Pride & Prejudice, Hook, Virunga, Inglourious Basterds, horror films (even some of the terrible ones!).

*;'''Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?'''
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, Poor Economics, A Train in Winter, Men We Reaped, Ella Enchanted. Books and short stories by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Lorrie Moore, Toni Morrison, and Alice Munro

*;'''What profession did you want to have when you were a kid? '''
I wanted to be many things! Artist, astronaut, pop singer, famous actress, archaeologist. Sadly, none of these worked out for me, but I’m happy with my path in life!

''October 2, 2015''

*;'''Why did you choose Yellow?'''
Being faced with this question makes me realise that my own answer heavily mirrors the answers I have heard from other Aes Sedai who have had to deal with the same question. Before I aspired, I accepted all of those answers such as “It felt like home, it’s where I felt the most comfortable, where I could be myself with little to no reservations”, etc. with a grain of salt, as they were rather vague to me at the time, considering it took me quite a bit of time to connect those particular feelings to a specific Ajah.

However, now that I have found my home, all those answers do make sense and they are a given, so to speak, when you choose an Ajah as your home. I do feel most comfortable in Yellow, in the sense that I can very easily share all the other parts of my life with the people there, without overthinking what they would think about me and whatnot. They accept me and make me feel like a part of a family that is always there if need be or not. It felt as though they were genuinely interested in getting to know me, and letting me get to know them in return. They made me feel cozy, and warm, and like I would always have a place among them, that they are never quite too far away.

What also drew me, I guess, is the feeling that I personally had guesting with them – the feeling that I did not really have in other Ajahs, at least not this completely.
It is a feeling of belonging, in which you do not have to cut any corners to make it fit what you need and what you are.

*;'''Are you like the Yellows in the Books? Do you care for people and love to heal things?'''
For the former, not entirely. For the latter, I would say so. I am nowhere near an actual medical field, so I am not an expert at physically healing, but I do as much as I can in that regard; otherwise, I believe that the very least I can do is listen to someone, and if I have anything to say that might help, then even better.

*;'''Do you have a favorite Yellow Ajah character from the novels?'''
Since I am absolutely terrible at picking a single thing and dubbing it as my favourite… In every book, there were parts and characters that I would have rather skipped, but also those I absolutely loved. Even though I tend to disagree sometimes with the narrow-mindedness of some book Yellows, and the general way they go about certain things, I still like the concepts of their characters; it was always fascinating reading about Nynaeve, for example, or Romanda, and their thought processess.

*;'''How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?'''
Not all that long - I believe it was since my first year of high school, so 2008, 2009?

*;'''How did you first get into the series?'''
Theolyn Maryash Sedai of the Red Ajah has been one of my closest friends for around seven years now. She introduced me to the Wheel of Time in our first year of high school, and I took to it immediately.

*;'''Who is your favorite "hero"?'''
As previously mentioned, I am really bad at this "favourite" thing, haha. Everything has its good sides and its bad sides that make it difficult for me to decide, especially since I tend to find a lot of the characters interesting. Though I will admit I have a bit of a soft spot for Perrin. And Moiraine.

*;'''Favorite bad guy/gal?'''
Outside of the Forsaken, I cannot really say. The Forsaken themselves are brilliant each in their own way. I love Semirhage and the way she turns her knowledge of Healing completely around.

*;'''Favorite book and scene?'''
With a series that massive, I cannot say without writing a novel on its own. >.> Perhaps I will revisit this interview during my rereads and mark down a few of my well-loved scenes.

*;'''If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?'''
The concept of the One Power is one I wish existed here on Earth, so I reckon I would love to be an Aes Sedai, either of the Yellow or of the Brown Ajah. The Aiel are a very attractive idea, too, I would definitely not mind that.

*;'''How did you find TarValon.net and what convinced you to stay and become a Senior Member?'''
There was a group I joined on Facebook regarding Wheel of Time fans, and Mhór Blathnaid Sedai of the Blue Ajah happened to be there, too. Somehow we got to talking, and she recommended the forums to me. It was a perfect solution to the problem of all things Wheel of Time not existing in our reality. >.> I could join what turned out to be a group of phenomenal people and future lifelong friends, feel like a part of something great, and actually work my way up the ranks and get to serve the community in my own way in return.

*;'''What do you do in "real life"?'''
I try to do the whole life thing as best I can, haha. I am currently (2015) a student in my final year of university. I study the Swedish language, along with Nordic history and literature; I dabble a bit in general linguistics and teaching, as well.

*;'''Do you have any hobbies?'''
There are many things I enjoy doing, and even more that I wish I could do, but cannot afford for a myriad of reasons (finances, time, effort, general circumstances...)
As it were, I love reading. Alas, the reading material I have had to tackle for high school and university literature classes usually kept me well away from reading what I truly wanted to, and so I am using whatever chance I can get to compensate for all the time lost. I prefer fantasy books, but I do like to branch out, too.
I play video games - again, not as many as I'd like because they are expensive in terms of both money and the time I would have to invest in it all. I love (MMO)RPG games, things like Portal, The Elder Scrolls games, World of Warcraft, The Secret World, Witcher, The Sims...
I used to train sword fighting (not competitive sports fencing, though, but the medieval kind) for several years, but I had to stop because university got rather overwhelming. I am hoping to continue it sometime soon properly, aside from practicing on my own. There are a lot of things that I would love to learn, like archery, or calligraphy... I would just love to master as many things as I can. I wouldn't mind having some useless skills that make a good party trick and an interesting tidbit of information, like writing backwards, tying my shoes in fifty different knots, or read binary.

I spend a substantial amount of time on the internet, but I do like to make breaks with walks and occasional RL hangouts with friends. (I say friends, I have maybe two or three people I like to see regularly in person. ) I would love to travel more and explore and see and feel and experience. Alas, the only thing I can do for now is work to make that a better possibility.
Also, I write.

*;'''What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?'''
Rock and metal (mainly older but also new-ish) is my default go-to music. Aside from that, I enjoy classical a lot, of all sorts, as well as soundtracks of various video games and movies.

*;'''What are some of your favorite movies/television shows?'''
Movies: I like horror movies, but also Disney and Pixar ones, and Marvel and DC. Too many to name. Shows: Hannibal, Supernatural, Community, Friends, some anime...
Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?
I am a big fan of Stephen King's and Terry Pratchett's works! "Harry Potter" will always have a place in my heart, as well as Tolkien's works.

*;'''What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?'''
You know, I cannot quite recall. It might have been something fickle that changed on a daily basis, including a vet (and then I realised I'd have to be around hurt animals, which makes me want to cry), and a teacher (which I might even end up being). I don't think I wanted to do much when I was a kid, haha.

==Senior Member Interview==

''October 2, 2015''

*Why did you choose Yellow?
Being faced with this question makes me realise that my own answer heavily mirrors the answers I have heard from other Aes Sedai who have had to deal with the same question. Before I aspired, I accepted all of those answers such as “It felt like home, it’s where I felt the most comfortable, where I could be myself with little to no reservations”, etc. with a grain of salt, as they were rather vague to me at the time, considering it took me quite a bit of time to connect those particular feelings to a specific Ajah.

However, now that I have found my home, all those answers do make sense and they are a given, so to speak, when you choose an Ajah as your home. I do feel most comfortable in Yellow, in the sense that I can very easily share all the other parts of my life with the people there, without overthinking what they would think about me and whatnot. They accept me and make me feel like a part of a family that is always there if need be or not. It felt as though they were genuinely interested in getting to know me, and letting me get to know them in return. They made me feel cozy, and warm, and like I would always have a place among them, that they are never quite too far away.

What also drew me, I guess, is the feeling that I personally had guesting with them – the feeling that I did not really have in other Ajahs, at least not this completely.
It is a feeling of belonging, in which you do not have to cut any corners to make it fit what you need and what you are.

*Are you like the Yellows in the Books? Do you care for people and love to heal things?
For the former, not entirely. For the latter, I would say so. I am nowhere near an actual medical field, so I am not an expert at physically healing, but I do as much as I can in that regard; otherwise, I believe that the very least I can do is listen to someone, and if I have anything to say that might help, then even better.

*Do you have a favorite Yellow Ajah character from the novels?
Since I am absolutely terrible at picking a single thing and dubbing it as my favourite… In every book, there were parts and characters that I would have rather skipped, but also those I absolutely loved. Even though I tend to disagree sometimes with the narrow-mindedness of some book Yellows, and the general way they go about certain things, I still like the concepts of their characters; it was always fascinating reading about Nynaeve, for example, or Romanda, and their thought processess.

*How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?
Not all that long - I believe it was since my first year of high school, so 2008, 2009?

*How did you first get into the series?
Theolyn Maryash Sedai of the Red Ajah has been one of my closest friends for around seven years now. She introduced me to the Wheel of Time in our first year of high school, and I took to it immediately.

*Who is your favorite "hero"?
As previously mentioned, I am really bad at this "favourite" thing, haha. Everything has its good sides and its bad sides that make it difficult for me to decide, especially since I tend to find a lot of the characters interesting. Though I will admit I have a bit of a soft spot for Perrin. And Moiraine.

*Favorite bad guy/gal?
Outside of the Forsaken, I cannot really say. The Forsaken themselves are brilliant each in their own way. I love Semirhage and the way she turns her knowledge of Healing completely around.

*Favorite book and scene?
With a series that massive, I cannot say without writing a novel on its own. >.> Perhaps I will revisit this interview during my rereads and mark down a few of my well-loved scenes.

*If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?
The concept of the One Power is one I wish existed here on Earth, so I reckon I would love to be an Aes Sedai, either of the Yellow or of the Brown Ajah. The Aiel are a very attractive idea, too, I would definitely not mind that.

*How did you find TarValon.net and what convinced you to stay and become a Senior Member?
There was a group I joined on Facebook regarding Wheel of Time fans, and Mhór Blathnaid Sedai of the Blue Ajah happened to be there, too. Somehow we got to talking, and she recommended the forums to me. It was a perfect solution to the problem of all things Wheel of Time not existing in our reality. >.> I could join what turned out to be a group of phenomenal people and future lifelong friends, feel like a part of something great, and actually work my way up the ranks and get to serve the community in my own way in return.

*What do you do in "real life"?
I try to do the whole life thing as best I can, haha. I am currently (2015) a student in my final year of university. I study the Swedish language, along with Nordic history and literature; I dabble a bit in general linguistics and teaching, as well.

*Do you have any hobbies?
There are many things I enjoy doing, and even more that I wish I could do, but cannot afford for a myriad of reasons (finances, time, effort, general circumstances...)
As it were, I love reading. Alas, the reading material I have had to tackle for high school and university literature classes usually kept me well away from reading what I truly wanted to, and so I am using whatever chance I can get to compensate for all the time lost. I prefer fantasy books, but I do like to branch out, too.
I play video games - again, not as many as I'd like because they are expensive in terms of both money and the time I would have to invest in it all. I love (MMO)RPG games, things like Portal, The Elder Scrolls games, World of Warcraft, The Secret World, Witcher, The Sims...
I used to train sword fighting (not competitive sports fencing, though, but the medieval kind) for several years, but I had to stop because university got rather overwhelming. I am hoping to continue it sometime soon properly, aside from practicing on my own. There are a lot of things that I would love to learn, like archery, or calligraphy... I would just love to master as many things as I can. I wouldn't mind having some useless skills that make a good party trick and an interesting tidbit of information, like writing backwards, tying my shoes in fifty different knots, or read binary.
I spend a substantial amount of time on the internet, but I do like to make breaks with walks and occasional RL hangouts with friends. (I say friends, I have maybe two or three people I like to see regularly in person. ) I would love to travel more and explore and see and feel and experience. Alas, the only thing I can do for now is work to make that a better possibility.
Also, I write.

*What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?
Rock and metal (mainly older but also new-ish) is my default go-to music. Aside from that, I enjoy classical a lot, of all sorts, as well as soundtracks of various video games and movies.

*What are some of your favorite movies/television shows?
Movies: I like horror movies, but also Disney and Pixar ones, and Marvel and DC. Too many to name. Shows: Hannibal, Supernatural, Community, Friends, some anime...
Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?
I am a big fan of Stephen King's and Terry Pratchett's works! "Harry Potter" will always have a place in my heart, as well as Tolkien's works.

*What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?
You know, I cannot quite recall. It might have been something fickle that changed on a daily basis, including a vet (and then I realised I'd have to be around hurt animals, which makes me want to cry), and a teacher (which I might even end up being). I don't think I wanted to do much when I was a kid, haha.

''September 25 2015''

*;When were you raised to Aes Sedai of the Yellow Ajah?
Omg.. Can't remember! O_O June 2004 I think.

*;Why did you choose Yellow?
Because of some fabulous Yellows that made be want to be Yellow too. It was a bit of a surprise really, because I was leaning strongly towards Blue all through "Novicehood" and even as an Accepted, but the women I tended to talk to most were Yellows and they were/are fantastic.

*;Are you like the Yellows in the Books? Do you care for people and love to heal things?
I think we all have some of the aspects of the characters from the books. As Yellows go, I'm probably less of a "Healer" in the traditional sense of the word, but I am a Reiki master and it's important to me to care for people and try and make them feel better and happy.

*;Do you have a favorite Yellow Ajah character from the novels?
Nynaeve would be the obvious choice there, but I also like Samitsu Tamagowa. The fact that the Yellow Ajah in the books had the lowest concentration of Black Sisters always gave me a weird sense of satisfaction

*;How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?
Since I picked up the first book at age 14 or 15, which, for me, was a while ago

*;How did you first get into the series?
I was randomly picking up books at a book fair as they were going cheap (this was in the Dark Ages before Kindle) and already nearly doubled over under the weight of what I had picked up, when my eyes fell on a book with the colourful cover of The Eye of the World. It immediately sparked my interest and to this day I'm glad I decided to add it.

*;Who is your favorite "hero"?
Lan *nods" I guess every man wants to be him and every woman wants to be with him.

*;Favorite bad guy/gal?
Hmm...the one I hated the most was Eamon Valda.

*;Favorite book and scene?
Lord of Chaos is the best one imo. The scene where Moraine gives everyone letters before confronting Lanfear, it always gets me.

*;If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?
I would be a Wolfsister, giving Nyneave a run for her money with Lan and him someone to spar with

*;How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become a Senior Member?
Random google search. I think I was looking for an WoT RPG site and this came up. It was the people that drew me in and after meeting some irl, I was hooked

*;What do you do in "real life"?
I'm an online Community Manager. (Fancy word for forum moderator )

*;Do you have any hobbies?
My dogs, gaming, reading, watching movies/TV.

*;What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?
I'm not a big music fan, I'd rather listen to an audio book. Anything that's popular I guess, top 40 stuff.

*;What are some of your favorite movies / television shows?
Anything Fantasy and/or SF related

*;Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?
Stephen King, SoIaF, the Malazan series by Steven Erikson, Black Jewel Trilogy by Anne Bishop... ahhh... so many

*;What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?
A vet

''September 16, 2015''

*;'''Why did you choose Yellow?'''

I chose Yellow because it really and truly felt like home to me. I have lots of friends in different Ajahs, and was convinced that because of those friends, I'd be Blue or Green or White or something else. I visited Yellow and hung out here for a time, and when it came time to leave to guest elsewhere, I simply couldn't bear to leave. I remember a feeling of panic almost thinking... NOOOOO I cannot leave here. I messaged Autumn that night and told her I wanted to aspire Yellow. I've never for one second regretted the decision and have never looked back.

*;'''Are you like the Yellows in the Books? Do you care for people and love to heal things?'''

I don't think I'm a healer in the traditional sense of the word.. I couldn't be a nurse or anything like that, I'm much too emphatic and can't handle sickness very well, but I love to fix people as far as their problems go. I'm always looking for a solution. I want to help someone be happy... if it's a problem or a situation that someone has gotten themselves into, I try my best to fix it. If someone needs advice or the truth, I give it. So I'm Yellow like the books in the fact that I like to fix that which is broken.

*;'''Do you have a favorite Yellow Ajah character from the novels?'''

Right this minute, I can't think of one. I never really cared for Nynaeve in the books, she got on my nerves.

*;'''How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?'''

My son introduced me to it in 2006 or so. He was in the airport in London on his way to Wales for a mission trip with his church group and picked up Eye of the World in the bookstore in the airport. He raved about it and read the second and third books and then insisted I read the series. We've enjoyed many hours of conversation about this series and that in itself makes this series precious to me.

*;'''How did you first get into the series?'''

Oops. See above answer.

*;'''Who is your favorite "hero"?'''

Hm. I'd have to say Lan. He is bad ass.

*;'''Favorite bad guy/gal?'''

Lanfear.

*;'''Favorite book and scene?'''

Well shoot. I've researched quickly in the Library and can't tell which book it is, but I have two favorite scenes.. the first is when Rand is on Dragonmount and contemplates ending the world like the Kinslayer did, and then it's at the beginning of one of the books when Rand is traveling and makes the apples grow on the tree for the farmer. I have several favorite scenes, but those two stand out right now.

*;'''If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?'''

I've always fancied I'd be an Aiel that was raised from infancy in the Two Rivers, but goes back to the Three-fold Land to reclaim my heritage and I become extremely BAD ASS.

*;'''How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become a Senior Member?'''

I was researching for theories after my son and I had discussed some things about the books and googled "Wheel of Time theories" and it brought me here. I kind of poked around and took the necessary steps to join and everyone made me feel so absolutely welcomed and important and cared about that I stayed. That was a darkish time in my life and the Tower gave me exactly what I needed to come out of it.

*;'''What do you do in "real life"?'''

I'm the assistant to the Director of Transportation for the county school system where I live. That's fancy talk for saying I'm the secretary at the bus garage.

*;'''Do you have any hobbies?'''

I love to read, I enjoy music, I dabble in crochet, and I love watching sports.

*;'''What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?'''

All kinds! I don't particularly care for hard metal or anger metal or whatever, but I like most everything.

*;'''What are some of your favorite movies / television shows?'''

Right now, my favorite movies are Maleficent and The Equalizer, and the television shows I enjoy are The Blacklist, The Big Bang Theory, and Fast and Loud.

*;'''Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?'''

I love all things Stephen King. I've also enjoyed some horny vampire books occasionally.

*;'''What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?'''

I always wanted to be a teacher. Then I discovered that I have zero patience.

''September 25 2015''

;When were you raised to Aes Sedai of the Yellow Ajah?
Omg.. Can't remember! O_O June 2004 I think.

;Why did you choose Yellow?
Because of some fabulous Yellows that made be want to be Yellow too. It was a bit of a surprise really, because I was leaning strongly towards Blue all through "Novicehood" and even as an Accepted, but the women I tended to talk to most were Yellows and they were/are fantastic.

;Are you like the Yellows in the Books? Do you care for people and love to heal things?
I think we all have some of the aspects of the characters from the books. As Yellows go, I'm probably less of a "Healer" in the traditional sense of the word, but I am a Reiki master and it's important to me to care for people and try and make them feel better and happy.

;Do you have a favorite Yellow Ajah character from the novels?
Nynaeve would be the obvious choice there, but I also like Samitsu Tamagowa. The fact that the Yellow Ajah in the books had the lowest concentration of Black Sisters always gave me a weird sense of satisfaction

;How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?
Since I picked up the first book at age 14 or 15, which, for me, was a while ago

;How did you first get into the series?
I was randomly picking up books at a book fair as they were going cheap (this was in the Dark Ages before Kindle) and already nearly doubled over under the weight of what I had picked up, when my eyes fell on a book with the colourful cover of The Eye of the World. It immediately sparked my interest and to this day I'm glad I decided to add it.

;Who is your favorite "hero"?
Lan *nods" I guess every man wants to be him and every woman wants to be with him.

;Favorite bad guy/gal?
Hmm...the one I hated the most was Eamon Valda.

;Favorite book and scene?
Lord of Chaos is the best one imo. The scene where Moraine gives everyone letters before confronting Lanfear, it always gets me.

;If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?
I would be a Wolfsister, giving Nyneave a run for her money with Lan and him someone to spar with

;How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become a Senior Member?
Random google search. I think I was looking for an WoT RPG site and this came up. It was the people that drew me in and after meeting some irl, I was hooked

;What do you do in "real life"?
I'm an online Community Manager. (Fancy word for forum moderator )

;Do you have any hobbies?
My dogs, gaming, reading, watching movies/TV.

;What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?
I'm not a big music fan, I'd rather listen to an audio book. Anything that's popular I guess, top 40 stuff.

;What are some of your favorite movies / television shows?
Anything Fantasy and/or SF related

;Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?
Stephen King, SoIaF, the Malazan series by Steven Erikson, Black Jewel Trilogy by Anne Bishop... ahhh... so many

;What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?
A vet

==Senior Member Interview==
*;'''Why did you choose Yellow?'''

I chose Yellow because it really and truly felt like home to me. I have lots of friends in different Ajahs, and was convinced that because of those friends, I'd be Blue or Green or White or something else. I visited Yellow and hung out here for a time, and when it came time to leave to guest elsewhere, I simply couldn't bear to leave. I remember a feeling of panic almost thinking... NOOOOO I cannot leave here. I messaged Autumn that night and told her I wanted to aspire Yellow. I've never for one second regretted the decision and have never looked back.

*;'''Are you like the Yellows in the Books? Do you care for people and love to heal things?'''

I don't think I'm a healer in the traditional sense of the word.. I couldn't be a nurse or anything like that, I'm much too empathic and can't handle sickness very well, but I love to fix people as far as their problems go. I'm always looking for a solution. I want to help someone be happy... if it's a problem or a situation that someone has gotten themselves into, I try my best to fix it. If someone needs advice or the truth, I give it. So I'm Yellow like the books in the fact that I like to fix that which is broken.

*;'''Do you have a favorite Yellow Ajah character from the novels?'''

Right this minute, I can't think of one. I never really cared for Nynaeve in the books, she got on my nerves .

*;'''How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?'''

My son introduced me to it in 2006 or so. He was in the airport in London on his way to Wales for a mission trip with his church group and picked up Eye of the World in the bookstore in the airport. He raved about it and read the second and third books and then insisted I read the series. We've enjoyed many hours of conversation about this series and that in itself makes this series precious to me.

*;'''How did you first get into the series?'''

Oops. See above answer.

*;'''Who is your favorite "hero"?'''

Hm. I'd have to say Lan. He is bad ass.

*;'''Favorite bad guy/gal?'''

Lanfear

*;'''Favorite book and scene?'''

Well shoot. I've researched quickly in the Library and can't tell which book it is, but I have two favorite scenes.. the first is when Rand is on Dragonmount and contemplates ending the world like the Kinslayer did, and then it's at the beginning of one of the books when Rand is traveling and makes the apples grow on the tree for the farmer. I have several favorite scenes, but those two stand out right now.

*;'''If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?'''

I've always fancied I'd be an Aiel that was raised from infancy in the Two Rivers, but goes back to the Three Fold Land to reclaim my heritage and I become extremely BAD ASS.

*;'''How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become a Senior Member?'''

I was researching for theories after my son and I had discussed some things about the books and googled "Wheel of Time theories" and it brought me here. I kind of poked around and took the necessary steps to join and everyone made me feel so absolutely welcomed and important and cared about that I stayed. That was a darkish time in my life and the Tower gave me exactly what I needed to come out of it.

*;'''What do you do in "real life"?'''

I'm the assistant to the Director of Transportation for the county school system where I live. That's fancy talk for saying I'm the secretary at the bus garage.

*;'''Do you have any hobbies?'''

I love to read, I enjoy music, I dabble in crochet, and I love watching sports.

*;'''What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?'''

All kinds! I don't particularly care for hard metal or anger metal or whatever, but I like most everything.

*;'''What are some of your favorite movies / television shows?'''

Right now, my favorite movies are Maleficent and The Equalizer, and the television shows I enjoy are The Blacklist, The Big Bang Theory, and Fast and Loud.

*;'''Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?'''

I love all things Stephen King. I've also enjoyed some horny vampire books occasionally.

*;'''What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?'''

I always wanted to be a teacher. Then I discovered that I have zero patience.

Aldeshar

2015-09-16T23:26:25Z

Amina Coram:

''Author: Atarah al'Norahn''

==General==

Aldeshar was one of the nations of [[the Free Era]]. Aldeshar was located in the central area of the [[Westlands]]. To the north was [[Dal Calain]], with [[Farashelle]] to the west, with the [[Manetherendrelle]] forming the border. [[Shiota]] lay to the south, and [[Caembarin]] and [[Nerevan]] to the east. Eventually, this area of land became what is now northernmost [[Murandy]] and the western part of [[Andor]].

Aldeshar was one of the most powerful nations of the Free Era. However, around FY 943, during the War of the Second Dragon, fighting had begun in Aldeshar. Around FY 944, Aldeshar sent men to aid Caembarin against [[Artur Hawkwing]].

Aldeshar was the last nation to fall to Artur Hawkwing, by FY 963. The last king of Aldeshar before Hawkwing conquered it was [[Joal Ramedar]], grandfather of [[Ishara]], who became the first Queen of Andor.

As punishment for being the last nation to fall to him, Hawkwing treated Aldeshar cruelly. In several battles, there were no prisoners taken. He displaced nearly the whole population to other parts of the empire, and confiscated all of the noble's estates. The entire nobility and merchant class was reduced to absolute penury.

It was [[Tamika Paendrag|Tamika]], Hawkwing's second wife, who convinced Hawkwing to relent in his harsh treatment of Aldeshar. He then allowed the people to return, and restored the confiscated estates and titles.
