Question

Some women of this race play a game where they stand around a man and take turns kissing him, moving their weapons closer or further depending on how good the kiss was. Upon entering a forest of tall glass columns in Rhuidean (“ROOEY-dee-ahn”), people experience the history of this race going backwards in time. In conflicts amongst this race, harmlessly touching an enemy holding a weapon causes them to don white robes and serve for a year as a gai’shain, one of the many complicated rituals in this race’s ji’e’toh morals. People of this race are organized into clans and (*) septs and have characteristic pale eyes and light, red hair. During a battle near Tar Valon, one of this race’s Maidens of the Spear gave birth to Rand al’Thor, (10[1])thus fulfilling a prophecy of the (-5[1])Dragon Reborn. For 10 points, name this race whose Wise Ones channel the One Power similar to Aes Sedai, and who live in a namesake “Waste”. ■END■
