Mord-Sith
From Sword of Truth Wiki
A Mord-Sith is a woman in the profession of torture. She is taught from a young age, taken unwillingly from her family and taught unspeakable things. The weapon of the Mord-Sith is the Agiel, a red leather rod, powered by the bond to Lord Rahl and capable of giving excruciating pain.
A Mord-Sith is the servant of the Lord Rahl and unshakeably loyal to him. In the time of Darken Rahl and those Rahl's before him, Mord-Sith generally hated the Lord Rahl, though they remained loyal to him. Richard Rahl alone gained the genuine like and respect of the Mord-Sith as he set them free to live their lives as they chose. The Mord-Sith chose to become protectors of the Lord Rahl, not his torturers or slaves.
