The Mord-Sith, also known as evil birds, are an elite group of highly stylish women dressed in red leather. Their training makes it hard for a confessor to "read" them. A confessor's touch is deadly to a Mord-Sith. Once confessed, they only have a limited amount of time before dying. Mord-Sith also have the power to resurrect dead humans with their mouth (the breath of life). However, there is a time limit to this: the deceased cannot be dead too long nor their corpse badly damaged. They torture their victims with the Agiel until they are completely broken. They can also redirect any form of magic that has been sent to them. For example, if a magic fire is cast, with their hand they can replicate it and send it to the sender, killing him (or her) and remaining defencelesses.
Training[]
A Mord-Sith is selected at a young age to begin their training. They are trained with an Agiel. Eventually, the girl will "break" and that is when her training is complete. Once completed, they are told to kill their loved ones to prove to their Mistress that they are no longer innocent. After they prove their loyalty, they are to serve Darken Rahl and his successors.
Mord-Sith serve the Lord Rahl by torturing his enemies and turning them into mindless pets. The pets are hung from a chain and tortured, no matter how long it takes until their spirits are fully broken. Most men break in the first training session, when they realize that they will never be free again, and that they will soon be begging to please their Mistress.
