How does the Black Ajah recruit new members?
Very carefully. You have to understand that EVERY Ajah recruits carefully and subtly. Generally, after all those years as novice and Accepted, your teachers know your character and personality VERY well, and you are guided to the Ajah where you fit. The Black Ajah watches too. And recruitment is a one-shot offer: they offer, and you can accept or die. There are a lot of ways to die that wouldn’t lead to any suspicion; for instance, it’s pretty easy to kill yourself experimenting with the One Power. Who would think that such a death wasn’t accidental?
One thing they do, for instance, is watch new Aes Sedai. Sometimes women get past the final tests and then discover that they don’t have anywhere near as much power and freedom as they thought they would have.
[I mentioned Katerine Sedai, 17 years Aes Sedai, 12 years Black.]
