Is Elaida A Black Ajah In The Wheel Of Time?

The world of The Wheel of Time is full of secrets, and few things have stirred as much suspicion and debate as the true loyalties of Elaida do Avriny a'Roihan. Is she truly devoted to the Light? Or is she hiding something darker—perhaps even a secret allegiance to the Shadow as a member of the Black Ajah? Let’s unravel this mystery. Before we begin, this video contains spoilers for the show, and a little bit from the books(and of course I will warn you before dropping the book spoiler so feel free.
At first glance, Elaida seems like a stern but loyal Red Ajah sister, focused on her mission to find and control male channelers. Her connection with Queen Morgase of Andor as an advisor, and later her arrival at the White Tower in Season 3, paints her as someone of influence and ambition. But ambition is often a double-edged sword in the world of the Aes Sedai. The more power someone craves, the more likely they are to make terrible choices to get it.
In Season 3 Episode 2, Elaida returns to the White Tower after years away. She comes bearing advice and warnings, mainly about the growing chaos in the Tower and the presence of the Black Ajah. But is she truly worried? Or is she deflecting suspicion?

What I enjoyed seeing was her use of the Power. No flailing of the hands, just a quick movement, and only 1 hand. Interesting seeing how different each Aes Sedai weave the Power.

Verin is one of the most powerful characters in the book. He story arc is incredible. May the embrace of the Mother welcome her home ❤

Can you imagine if Elaida faces off with a Black Ajah, her power can create wonderful scenes. Almost gorgeous as the Yellow Ajah bending the damane at the market in Season 2.

I love it when she went all out with Joiya and chained her to the floor with the one power.

[angellover]

Elaida is just power-hungry, and she thinks she is right about everything. A common problem for many of the characters in the wheel of time.

Elaida’s face reads as Siuan, I am not going to regret taking you down in vote”

[belhanger]

She’s a fanatic and she brings a unique form of danger. That’s enough.

Moraine wants to control the future. Eliada wants to control the future. Both want the light to triumph at the last battle, even though they are invested in different means. Eliada sees Andor as key to success. Moraine sees Rand as the key.

Great feedback & true she's not a Black Aja in the books, but Elaida broke the oaths by outright killing a sister in the last episode and makes me think she could've used her vision to foresee this trap. Then again, maybe she's not black aja, but she's under the insane compulsion of Ravin?

[kayak]

She's a politician, therefore making her the most dangerous character in WOT

[larryhammond]

Everyone is like "who's the one black ajah left?" As a book reader i know there are at least 3 left and 2 have been on screen in the show. Possibly all 3

[ryxnwxlker]

I think it was just one gray man, Jaichim from S3E1. He’s mentioned in the credits for E5

[LivSal]

I say she’s black Ajay! She’s playing them all like the gifts she brings!

[kookiekrumbles]

Its too obvious. She isn't but I believe Siuan's right hand is.

[christianefiorito]

None of them is at least in the books. Ellaidas keeper of the chronicles is in the books. Ellaida is only a bitter ambitious bad witch who almost breals Rand😊

[jasonpeters]

The "black ajah" that left the tower, WAS LIANDRINS cabal. A group of hearts(3 black ajah) who report to one BA sis outside her 'heart', a handler per se. And considering the tower is about 20%black ajah, there's NO WAY only 1 is left after liandrins group leaves. Theres also "Alvarin" the darkskinned sedai who helped in egwenes arches test. Shes absolutely black ajah. Theres others. Alot.

[RecklessFables]

She's got the attitude of a Whitecloak inquisitor but with a different understanding of the one power.

[maximodante]

SPOILER. She's ambitious and she will be more dangerous for the Tour. She will facilitate Black Ajah

[bobkabangu]

O will bet my money that it's that sister playing sick, something about her seems off

[Phunpuffaa_]

At 3:16 what happen to her the girl holding the stick ? She was my GIRRRLLL OMG
