The Blood

From A Wheel of Time Wiki

The Blood are those of Seanchan nobility. They were originally the descendants of those sent with Luthair, the son of Artur Hawkwing. Gradually, more and more among the native population of Seanchan were raised to the Blood. It is nearly impossible to lose this status but it can be bestowed upon someone for great service, if the Empress judges the person worthy.

Members of the Blood have highly codified rules regarding appearance, extending from various haircuts and lacquered fingernails.
