Penthea

From Sword of Truth Wiki

Penthea was the Sister of the Dark sent by Emperor Jagang to use her Subtractive Magic to create a spell that would cause Kahlan Amnell to die if magic was used to heal her after she is attacked by Dalton Campbell's men.

[edit] Attributes

Penthea was a middle-aged woman, with long black and grey hair. She was a little on the large side and she had an arrogant air to her. This was diminished however by the gold ring that was placed through her lip, marking her a slave of the Emperor.

[edit] Penthea's Role

Sister Penthea appears in the following book of the Sword of Truth series; Soul of the Fire.

[edit] Soul of the Fire

Sister Penthea enters Dalton Campbell's rooms quietly as he speaks to his messengers telling them to treat her with care as she is a woman with great power at her disposal. She announces her arrival and informs Dalton that she is there to wield her services in the name of Emperor Jagang.

Penthea assures Dalton that her power still works despite the presence of the chimes in the world of the living and proceeds to spell the men who would be dispatched to severely bash the Mother Confessor. She announces that even should the Mother Confessor survive the beating, she will die when Richard Rahl tries to heal her with his magic, as the spell that Penthea had conjured, will be transferred to her when she is bashed and that will react with his magic. She then returns to the Imperial Order camp.
