- "The Sisters of the Light are many things, but gentle is not one of them."
- ―Verna Sauventreen[src]
The Sisters of the Light were a group of women who were dedicated to serve the Creator and did his bidding in all things. Each Sister was a sorceress of some skill and had learnt to use their gift for the good of man kind. The calling of the Sisters was to help train young wizards to use their gift, when there was no other alternative.

[edit] History
[edit] Life of a Sister
The Sisters were lead by a Prelate, who had supreme authority over their lives and ran the Palace of the Prophets, where the Sisters resided. The Prelate of the Sisters of the Light had been Annalina Aldurren for almost eight hundred years, though upon faking her death, she handed her title and authority over to Verna Sauventreen.
A Sister of the Light could be sent on journeys for several reasons, though the most important missions involved the bringing of a gifted boy to the Palace, because of the rarity of the event. The most important journey of all was given to Sister Verna, when she was sent to find Richard Rahl and bring him to the Palace. Prelate Annalina, who sent Verna, knew that this would fulfill prophecy and cause Richard to flush out the Sisters of the Dark that infested the Palace, in the guise of Sisters of the Light.
The Sisters of the Dark were the polar opposites, in terms of beliefs, of the Sisters of the Light and though most Sisters originally believed the Sisters of the Dark to be a myth, they were eternal enemies.
Sisters of the Light wielded only their natural ability as a sorceress, though this was formidable in its own right.
