Ser Roland Crakehall & Ser Donnel of Duskendale A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms | s1e2 ‘Hard Salt Beef’
RJ’s notes Part 56 by Linda Taglieri
Alviarin took part in the pogrom against lucky men and senior Aes Sedai. She mistakenly believed that Mesaana only passed orders to Black sisters through her and that Mesaana did not know the identities of the twelve other sisters on the Supreme Council. Mesaana actually made contact with each member of the council and had learned the names of every Black sister
Chesmal Emry was almost sent away from the White Tower twice as a novice and once as Accepted because of serious discipline infractions involving attacking others.
Falion Bhoda: Despite her outward coolness, inside she is a furnace of angers and slights. She has little or no patience with anyone’s faults or quirks but her own, and is in fact contemptuous of others while never seeing her own faults or peculiarities. Doesn’t really think anyone else is good company except for other Whites, and even then, they do have their faults, particularly in certain questions of logic.
The vote for Galina to be chosen as the Head of Red Ajah was manipulated.
Galina was not involved in questioning Tamra Ospenya—that was a Supreme Council job, and she was not then a member—but she might have been involved in kidnapping her, or putting her body into her bed. Galina was also involved in putting to the question some of the sisters Tamra had gathered, as well as in killing those and others. Galina was involved in killing Sierin Vayu, which was purely a Red Ajah affair. Galina was involved in putting Siuan Sanche and Leane Sharif to the question, and maybe in stilling them as well.
The Black Ajah believes that the Three Oaths must be removed using the Oath Rod. They are not aware that stilling and burning out also break you free of them.
Regularly a sister will be ordered to watch another sister for a day or two, passing on a detailed report of everything she does, everyone she sees or speaks to. This is never anyone that you know is a member of the Black Ajah. In fact, you quickly realize that if all of those watched were Black, then the entire White Tower would be. Some might be, though, and you never know when you yourself are being watched and reported on.
Only the head of the Black Ajah knows the names of all the Black sisters; the other members of the ruling council know various names, with enough overlap that even the deaths of several of them would not result in a loss of all names. No heart contains two members of the ruling council. All sisters know how to reestablish contact, to report or receive orders, if the normal methods are disrupted in any way…
When a new head is chosen, she learns the full list from the others on the Supreme Council. Normally, the members of the Supreme Council all would know the name of the head of the Ajah, but Alviarin was put in charge by Ishamael, and only three members of the Council know her name.

As might be expected, occasionally men are born among the Amayar who can channel. The method of dealing with them is curiously gentle, in a way, while at the same time being efficient and brutal. The man is shielded, then put into a deep sleep where his dreams and bodily responses are manipulated. He has pleasant dreams—indeed, pleasant dreams of an entire life—and he feels no pain or discomfort, but he sleeps until he dies. NOTE: This manipulation of dreams is something beyond any Aes Sedai and probably beyond Aiel Wise Ones who are Dreamwalkers.

The Sorceresses of the Witcher:
BOOK FASHION Edition 5/?
Also speaking of sheer power, Francesca and Fringilla are incredibly powerful.
I get the impression that fire magic, being drawn by expending the life force of the soul, is especially corrosive to attempts to shield from it, sapping the shield-user nearly as much as the person who killed part of themselves, or all of themselves, in order to cast the spell. The more powerful the fire magic, the more of the other mage's power it takes to survive it, in other words, no matter what source they're drawing from. And if they're not careful, maybe it takes some of their life force, too.
In this scene, Francesca went through the mages of Aretuza like a hot knife through butter. Then, after losing Filavandrel in an assault meant for her, she survived tapping into enormously powerful fire magic to bring the ring above Aretuza down.
Fringilla not only expended an enormous amount of power in the fighting and killing of some of the most powerful mages on the continent, she then saved Francesca from that fire.
Then they saved each other from Alzur's Lightning. I need to emphasize how impressive I found that. It struck me on the re-watch how much power was implied in that outburst, and it really drove home to me how impressive, what powerhouses, both of those women are in terms of sheer magical oomph and skill. Tissaia, arguably one of the most powerful mages to have ever lived, expending the entire might of Aretuza in one last awful hurrah, couldn't bring these women down.
And even after that, they survived yet a third round of fire magic, at the hands of Stregobor. (Honestly I hope he burned himself up entirely and let life's door hit his ass on the way out.)
And both of them come out of the gate swinging and swinging hard in Season 4. Just. Very impressive.

Rewatching that scene where Philippa and Dijkstra have the mages from the Conclave all lined up, what occurs to me is how much of a goddamn unsatisfactory bitch of a situation that was.
Philippa saw what was coming. She saw it before anyone else did. And she tried everything in her considerable power to stop it. But she needed Tissaia's help to do it.
I get the impression that Phillipa and Tissaia were close beyond close before Vilgefortz came along. The dynamo whose magnetism powered the entire Continent. But where Philippa saw it, saw Vilgefortz for what he was and what he was capable of... Tissaia didn't. I feel like Philippa tried to reach her first as confidant, lover, friend, ally. She spoke in the language of the heart.
But when Tissaia wouldn't listen to heartfelt warnings from the heart, Philippa had the courage to break up with her. However you read their relationship, that is a huge statement for her to make. She spoke in the language of dignity, of not allowing even the person who is closest to her to shake her from what she knows is the truth.
When that didn't work, Philppa tried one last time. She manipulated Redania into such a position of power and influence that she had the power to collar the great and the powerful of the entire northern Continent. (What an incredible flex btw, RESPECT.) She was screaming now, speaking to Tissaia in the language of Power.
And even in this moment, look at her character design!!! This woman's heart is so open to Tissaia. Her hair is heart-shaped, the popped collar mimicking the theme, ruffles spilling out just like her love and her yearning to be heard. (Screams in theater kid.)
But even when she thought she'd finally get Tissaia to listen, even when she thought she'd be able at last to turn the tide by at last getting Tissaia to turn the power of Aretuza against the coming horrors, there was nothing she could do to get through. Vilgefortz, vile fucker that he was, had made manipulations so deep and so effective that the Conclave ate itself alive instead. She saw it coming, she tried everything she knew how to do to stop it, and when it mattered most, the only person in the whole world she needed to hear her was deaf to her. What a fucking goddamn unsatisfactory bitch of a situation. My guess is that Philippa would never have tried to take over the Continent if Tissaia had just listened to her in the first place. This all could have been avoided, but instead, the tragedy just keeps rolling downhill and gaining speed. It really sucks that she couldn't get through.
