-Oh. Well, then should they go above or below Black Ajah? Probably above, I'd think. Dreadlords are commanders of the Dark One's armies, and the Black Ajah are small potatoes.-

-I was clarifying. There isn't really a sixth level, especially with the current (and in need of replacing) formula for mana regeneration, which would mean that a sixth-level channeler gets 1/(6-6)*their mana back each nweek.-

-I'd say Black Ajah would just be a blanket term for all of them, regardless of gender.-

-Of course, that makes this a lot more complicated and more people will vote no on it... I'd say develop this idea and try to add it in later.-

-True. But enforcing that means telling people how many Black Ajah there are out there.-
