History of the Green Ajah

The Green Ajah is one of the first two Ajahs at TarValon.Net. Founded by Eleyan Teyal Al'Landerin in 2001 it formed the core of what we now know as TarValon.Net. Since 2001, the Green Ajah has been home to A list of Historical Green Raisings can be found here

Green Ajah Traditions

Green Beads

When two or more Greens unite in real life, whether an official Tower gathering or not, the eldest standing member of the Green (if the Head is not present) shall bestow Green Beads to the other Greens. How we bestow them is a dearly kept secret of the Greens!

As Amaria al'Salar tells it, "One Spring, Faeril Munlear came to visit me in Corpus Christi, Texas from her hometown a few hours away. It happened to coincide with Spring Break. I live in a beach town and this town takes Spring Break pretty seriously...the bars, dance clubs, and the beaches are slammed with thousands and thousands of extra people. We were given beads on various occasions during our outings and we ended up with so many we started passing them out to people (but we kept all the Green beads for ourselves!) and when we got more beads, we'd share the green ones and give them to each other. The next event I had so many extra beads from that weekend I started passing them out to other Greens. And so the tradition was born! I *think* this was in Spring of 2003 or 2004."

Balefire & Purple

Many over the years have come to know of the drink (or rather the experience) that is the Green Shot, "Balefire". This drink and its associated traditions began with the Spring Break trip where Faeril Munlea visited Amaria al'Salar. The recipe is a closely guarded secret, and the virgin version is even more vile than the original!

As part of her Contribution, then Green Aspirant Lexiant a'Marie devised a list of Green Ajah Drinks, one for each member at the time. To try them all you must have a fully stocked bar, and a wooden leg with a hole in the bottom.

Purple is not a drink, it is a way of being. Emote-turtle.gif

The Umbrella Stand

An affectionate term for our Warders as a group is The Umbrella Stand. Each Warder being a new umbrella in the stand. Our Warders are a wonderful part of our group and are willing and able to help whenever necessary. Providing shelter and protection to all.
