-Well, in the books, there aren't any Dark Asha'man because the Red Ajah have been studiously crushing male channelers. That, and most people consider all male channelers to be Darkfriends.

What about Dark Asha'man? Or, if you want to be spiffy, something like Asha'Shadar, "Guardian of the Shadow?"-

-I think they try to kill you and either they do or you join... in the Age of Legends, they probably went online to www.darkfriend.greatlord.evl and filled out the application there.

That reminded me of something unrelated. You know how non-US countries have two-letter suffixes to their URLs (.uk for the UK, .fr for Freedom, .ch for Switzerland, .tv for some poor nation that sold its ending to Americans who now clutter it with television crap)? Do any of them have a .bn ending?-
