Contents 1 Appearance 2 History 3 Activities 3.1 Black Ajah

[edit] Appearance

Duhara is tall, slim and beautiful with big dark eyes, full lips and the typical Domani coppery skin. She has worn, on both occasions we have met her, red skirts so dark they almost seemed black.

[edit] History

She was Keeper of the Chronicles under Sierin Vayu.

Even the mention of male channelers makes her angry. Her reaction to the bonding of male channelers by her own Ajah remains to be seen.

[edit] Activities

She is currently a Sitter in the Hall and has remained loyal to the White Tower during the split. She was raised to replace Teslyn Baradon.

Elaida thinks that she is Duhara's mistress—and it does seem that way.

Duhara was sent by Elaida to be the Aes Sedai advisor to Elayne. The other Aes Sedai in the White Tower are unaware that Duhara has been sent to Caemlyn.

She refuses to accept Elayne as being Aes Sedai, because to do so would be to acknowledge the authority of Egwene al'Vere as Amyrlin Seat and accept Elaida's defeat.

She makes outrageous demands of Elayne and insists that Elayne needs her and the Tower to help win Andor. She also believes that the Houses have not joined Elayne's cause because they know she does not have the backing of the Tower. Elayne is furious and unlikely to accept an ambassador from Elaida. She refuses Duhara a room in Caemlyn Palace and says she will have to find an inn to stay in.

She threatens the Kin present in Caemlyn with the full might of the Tower if they do not disperse themselves.

Now that Elayne has won the Lion Throne, her own beliefs seem to be shattered.
