What Are Damane in ‘The Wheel of Time’?
The female channelers regarded as damane are the ones who get the worst treatment.
Damane are kept and treated as sentient pets, but their main use is in battle as fearsome weapons.
Damane are treated as property and slaves from the moment they are discovered to have the ability to channel.
Even those who work closely with damane view them as nothing more than useful and intelligent animals.
The behavior training they undergo makes them childlike, obedient, and eager to kindly.
They are hunted by the Seanchan Empire, who believe that every female channeler must be made a damane.
