READ THE DESCRIPTION IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S A MORD'SITH :)

I knew I said no more vids for a while, in fact, I did this yesterday and finished it before my latest R/K, but I'm uploading it now, cuz... no idea, lol.
Anyway, it seemed interesting and I might be doing another entry after the finals.

What is a Mord'Sith?

They are "magical" creatures in the world created by Terry Goodkind in the Sword of Truth saga and brought to television by Rob Tapert & Sam Raimi in the form of a show called Legend of the Seeker. Tv show & books have quite a lot differences (Mord'Sith being one of them), but they're both very good so, if you got time, go ahead and watch/read.

Anyways, a Mord'Sith, basically, is a young woman trained since childhood to become some sort of a soul-less monster. They are tortured for years and broken three times before becoming Mord'Sith. They don't have magic of their own, they are in fact afraid of magic (at least in the books), but are able to use that of the Lord Rahl (master of D'Hara, one of the lands in the fantastic world).
They have a small stick, the Agiel, which is able to cause unimaginable pain to whoever touches it... even the person wielding it. That's why Mord'Sith are trained for years... not only to be brainwashed into believing the evil Lord Rahl is indeed just, but also to learn how to withstand an enormous deal of pain.
They are also able to deflect and capture any magic directed at them, an ability given to them during the period in which Lord Rahl himself is the trainer. What's their job? Torturing prisoners, enemies into confessing as well as protecting the Lord Rahl, while being all dressed in blood-red, skin-tight leather... you know, in order not to show the stains of blood :)

Why do I love them so much? Their backstory. It's so heartbreaking. They are not evil and, most of them, given a chance to change, will accept it gladly.
Richard, the new Lord Rahl, a good and rightgeous man, proved that when (in the books) he freed D'Hara and thought them how to train chimpunks :)
No kidding! xD Ok, that's only part of it, but really... for me, Mord'Sith (Cara & Denna, in particular) are the best part of this fandom.

Complex, sassy, controverse, dualistic, good, evil, sarcastic, naive... broken.
