Sisters of the Dark

The Sisters of the Dark are a group of sorceresses serving the Keeper of the Underworld and eradicating all life in the world. They are a fictional group appearing in the show Legend of the Seeker

Background
Sisters of the Dark are originally Sisters of the Light who were corrupted, selfish and evil. They serve the Keeper who promises them their deepest desires. Most of them joined to further their own powers.

Wardrobe
The Sisters of the Dark wore red robes with veils to cover their faces.

Weapons
Their primary weapons are Dacras a magical weapon, which looks like a three pointed star made of metal rings. They can use it to throw at people or to stab magical beings absorb their Han (Magic). Also if a person gets hit by a Dacra they wont get hurt but only a Sister of the Dark can remove it, because if another person removes it the person who got hit will die, and the Sister of the Dark can release its magic into the person's body killing the person instantly.

Leaders
The Sisters of the Dark had several leaders the first being Nicci, who was later betrayed because of her failures. Other leaders are:

Sister Merissa
She was in charge temporarily when Nicci was first destroyed, she was the one leading Nicci's ressurection ritual. Later she and 3 other Sisters of the Dark killed several of their own members to increase their powers to kill Nicci, though Nicci was proven still more powerful than her by seemingly tearing her to bloody pieces.

Sister Marianna
She was the 3rd leader of the Sisters of the Dark after Merissa died and Nicci left. Darken Rahl (Richard's dead brother and agent of the Keeper) appeared to her instructing her to steal a scroll and prevent Richard Rahl from taking it. She and her fellow Sisters suceeded, She attempted to burn the scroll but Darken Rahl told her to go to one of his temples and give him the scroll (Darken Rahl was later ressurected into a body that resembled his physical form and tries to help his brother Richard Rahl in defeating the Keeper). Later the Keeper personally instructs Marianna to kill Darken Rahl but she and her Sisters failed, the Keeper commands them to free a prisoner and imbue him with powers (the prisoner then had the ability to open rifts to the Underworld) to kill Darken Rahl, but the plan failed as well. Later Darken Rahl makes a shortlived alliance with the Sisters of the Dark, after Darken Rahl gets the Stone of Tears, he and his Mord-Siths threw them including Marianna into a rift to the Underworld. Later after a Wizard Zedd accidently alters reality, she was instructed by the Keeper to take several magical objects to release the Keeper's minions into the living world, but she failed and she was killed by Darken Rahl. After Zedd warps back reality correctly, she was back alive again and then she and a last group of Sisters of the Dark met the Keeper in the form of a boy who instucts them to kill Kahlan (Richard's love). So they attacked Kahlan in an attempt to kill her, but they all failed and when Marianna was about to stab her, Richard kills her by stabbing her with his sword.
