The article in the Reference Library on Dead, Captured and Missing Aes Sedai has now been updated with information from The Gathering Storm. Quite a bit of new material was added.
Below is a summary of the numbers of Aes Sedai 'lost' to the Tower since The Eye of the World. The article details each of these women and the circumstances in which they were lost.

OVERALL SUMMARY
Perhaps 112 or more Aes Sedai have died since The Eye of the World opened:
- 105+ definitely dead
- 7 presumed dead
- plus additional ones that were likely killed when Logain was taken, or during the Tower Coup, or that were executed by Egwene when she cleansed the Tower that were not enumerated in the books.
That’s over 11% of the total population of Aes Sedai (which was under 1000).
About 190 Aes Sedai have been captured or gone missing since The Eye of the World opened:
- 84+ captured that are not presumed dead.
- 106 “missing” that are not presumed dead.
That’s another 19% of the total population of Aes Sedai.
Combine the dead/captured/missing, and the total of well over 302 represents over 30% of the Aes Sedai. With such losses, the Asha'man probably now outnumber the Aes Sedai. Of course, they too need purging of Darkfriends...

Well, I understand how it was The Age of Legends Aes Sedai lost Traveling et al, then. They're only 3 years into the recent unpleasantness. Imagine 300 years of this. An organization would be lucky to keep its name for itself, much less complex trade secrets.
