Gray Ajah
An Ajah is a sub-organization within the Aes Sedai of Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time series. Little is known about the Gray Ajah. They are mediators and ambassadors, and commonly dispense justice through the law.
Organization
The Gray Ajah is headed by a woman known as the Head Clerk. The Gray Ajah also attempted to hold together the coalition of nations that fought against the Aiel in the Aiel War, but failed. It can be assumed that the Gray Ajah is quite skilled at political maneuvering. The Gray Ajah has on a great number of occasions stopped wars and other conflicts through their skill in crafting agreements and drafting treaties.
