Quotes

"She wore a small stone on her forehead as Moiraine had so long ago, though Daigian's was an appropriately white moonstone. The tradition apparently had something to do with being a Cairhien noblewoman, as did the four colored slashes the woman wore on her dress." (Nynaeve thinks about Daigian; The Gathering Storm, Chapter 7)
