A set of small ter'angreal and angreal worn in the hair. Cadsuane wears one and it includes golden stars, moons, birds and fish.

Ornaments#

  • Intertwined golden crescents - A ter'angreal that grows cool when someone nearby holds saidar.
  • Eight-pointed star - A ter'angreal that vibrates when there is a man who can channel nearby.
  • Golden hummingbird - A ter'angreal. It is a Well that can store saidar.
  • Shrike - A female angreal
  • Golden swallow - A ter'angreal. It was made during the Breaking specifically to detect a man channeling alone. It detects the direction of saidin or saidar, but does not distinguish between the two and does not tell the distance.
