Sarin Hoigan. Nisao Dachen’s Warder. Bald-headed, with a black beard, he was about 5'9" tall, and wide enough to make him seem shorter. When Siuan said that the Hall might require Nisao and Myrelle to pass their Warders’ bonds to someone else in punishment for their dealings with Lan, Sarin realized through the bond that Nisao was upset and started toward her.

Saroiya Farseen. A Domani Aes Sedai of the White Ajah and the rebel contingent, with a strength level of 24(12). Born in 857 NE, she went to the White Tower in 873 NE. After spending thirteen years as a novice and eleven as Accepted, she was raised to the shawl in 897 NE. Brown-haired and brown-eyed, she was about 5'4" tall, and stocky. She tugged at her ear when deep in thought. As a novice, Myrelle introduced trout into Saroiya’s bath; the result, according to Siuan, taught Myrelle to mind herself for half a year. Saroiya was a very good, if strict, teacher. She also displayed very good organizational and managerial abilities, as well as being considered among the sharpest logicians of her Ajah. For those reasons she was chosen a Sitter for the White in 987 NE, although she was younger than usual. In 999 NE the head of the White Ajah ordered her to join the rebellion to control and defuse events. Saroiya was apparently very tightly under Romanda’s thumb, and in fact, given Romanda’s forceful personality, this was not far from the truth. Saroiya tried to influence the rebel Hall toward the belief that the Seanchan were too important and too dangerous to ignore until matters with Elaida were resolved. Because of Romanda, she had to do this carefully. Saroiya was against any alliance with the Black Tower and worked to delay an embassy to it; she also opposed bonding Asha’man. She was part of the group, with Magla, Faiselle, Takima and Varilin, who negotiated with the White Tower to try to end the split. After the Tower was reunited, she kept her seat as a Sitter.
Sashalle Anderly. An Aes Sedai of the Red Ajah and the loyalist contingent, with a strength level of 14(2). Born in 816 NE, she went to the White Tower in 832 NE. After spending nine years as a novice and six years as Accepted, she was raised to the shawl in 847 NE. She wore her hair in ringlets to her shoulders and had blue eyes and a stubborn jaw. Sashalle was part of the follow-on party to the embassy sent to Rand in Cairhien by Elaida. She was one of three sisters stilled by Rand during his escape at Dumai’s Wells. Although they were captured, those three were not treated as da’tsang like the others, but Verin did use her version of Compulsion on them, and they also swore oath to Rand. Sashalle was Healed by Damer Flinn to full strength, but was no longer held by the Three Oaths and appeared prettier as her ageless look faded. She wrote a letter to the Red Ajah saying that she was sworn to Rand.
Although Cadsuane had left Samitsu in charge in Cairhien, Sashalle took over by force of personality. Sorilea and the Aiel respected her, and even the servants at the Sun Palace deferred to her as if she were in charge. Sashelle greeted Elayne when she arrived to be crowned Queen of Cairhien.
She fought at Shayol Ghul in the Last Battle and was captured and used up by Graendal/Hessalam.

Seaine Herimon. A Murandian Aes Sedai of the White Ajah and the loyalist contingent, with a strength level of 17(5). Born in 841 NE, she went to the White Tower in 856 NE after talking her father into buying passage for her and her mother to Tar Valon—passage for two upriver, but only one down. After spending six years as a novice and four years as Accepted, she was raised to the shawl in 866 NE and raised a Sitter for the Whites in 986 NE. Seaine and Pevara were novice and Accepted together, and they were friends—pillow friends, in fact. As novices, they often played pranks together. Pevara said that Seaine could never decide that it was logical to be afraid until it was already too late for that. One of the things they did was dust Serancha’s shift with itch oak; they thought Serancha was a prig then, and their opinion didn’t change. They drifted apart, in part because the Red actively and strongly discouraged women having friends outside their Ajah.
