Gentling and False Dragons
The Sisters of the Red Ajah dedicate their lives to finding men who can channel, and then gentle them. They do this to prevent them from going mad by the taint on saidin and cause a lot of destruction. The Red Ajah want to prevent the world from another breaking.
A man who is going to be genteled is taken to the White Tower. There, the Amyrlin Seat together with twelve Sisters gather to perform the ceremony. After the man has been genteled he can still sense the True Source, but never reach it.
Saidin is described as a struggle between life and death; you have to fight against it. It is the opposite of saidar, which you must give in to. When a man is filled with saidin he can feel, just like a woman, life flowing through his body. The senses and impressions are stronger. Thus a genteled man will loose his will to live, and usually he will die within a year.
Since the Breaking many men have declared themselves to be the Dragon Reborn. Famous names:
Raolin Darksbane (335-336 AB)
He was born in Aren Mador, which today is known as Far Madding. He was captured by Aes Sedai and taken to the White Tower. His men went to attack against the Shining Walls when he was about to be genteled.
Yurian Stonebow (1300-1308 AB)
