"I've been with some of those women, I know how ruthless they are. They may have to do as Jagang makes them, but they're devoted to the Keeper of the underworld."

―Jennsen Rahl^[src]

The Sisters of the Dark were a covert group of sorceresses, sworn to serve the Keeper of the underworld, who secretly lived among the Sisters of the Light pretending to serve the Creator. In return for their loyalty, the Keeper granted them greatly increased powers. The leader of the Sisters of the Dark was Sister Ulicia, who acted as the director of the fallen Sisters much as the Prelate did the Sisters of the Light, though in a much more covert manner. Only Ulicia knew the identities of all the Sisters of the Dark. The Keeper was able to lure many Sisters to join him by giving them promises of immortality and power.

[edit] Rewards

By joining the ranks of the Keepers minions, the Sisters of the Dark were granted greater power than their own talents as sorceresses. Using a device known as quillion, the Sisters would drain a wizard of his gift and then undergo a dark ceremony, involving a namble. While undergoing this, the Sister would hold the wizards gift within herself and as his essence slipped through the veil to the underworld, she would allow Subtractive essence to seep into her. This gave each Sister, to successfully pass this ceremony, limited use of Subtractive Magic.

Once a Sister had completed this ceremony she could absorb the male Han directly from quillion, without having to undergo the ceremony once again.

[edit] Reasons for betrayal

Most Sisters of the Dark appeared to have a common reason for being seduced by the Keeper. Each Sister joined the side of evil, to further her own power. Sisters of the Dark were selfish in the extreme, causing a great deal of horror for the promise of the return of their youth, should the Keeper succeed in being freed from the underworld.
