Usage examples of kinswomen.

Whenever a watchman signaled an attack forming, linked Kinswomen made gateways to carry soldiers to the spot.

Small groups of Kinswomen were scouring the countryside for anyone trying to come to Elayne's support, but it was a chancy business.

Thus far, the Kinswomen had brought word of dozens and dozens of groups trying to find a way into the city, yet they had only managed to locate five bands totaling fewer than a thousand.

Many Kinswomen had been reduced to pallets on the floor in the servants' quarters, and thank the Light spring had made that possible.

Three Kinswomen who needed to form a circle to Travel were watching the Borderlanders for the same reason.

The Domani sister ignored the Kinswomen as if they had ceased to exist.

Men were billeted everywhere room could be found, but there were insufficient basements and attics and spare rooms near enough the palace, and the parks where circles of Kinswomen would take the men to the places where they were needed.

These Kinswomen changed names as easily as other women changed stockings.

Even using Kinswomen to shift men, they would be hard pressed to hold the wall against that many.

If the gate is still holding when the Kinswomen get you there, make sure it continues to hold.

The proclamations of support, carried by Kinswomen rather than riders, had been posted from Aringill to the mining villages in the Mountains of Mist, or soon would be, but even with Sumeko and other Kinswomen wearing themselves out in Healing, the armsmen of Caeren, Anshar and Baryn who had not been carried off by Jarid did not bring her numbers anywhere near sixty thousand.

Calling themselves the Kin, and Kinswomen, they kept in hiding and offered a safe haven for others who had been put out.

Since Kinswomen moved in and out of Barashta (and later Ebou Dar) in an effort to hide their existence and their numbers, never staying anywhere more than ten years lest someone notice that they did not age at a normal speed, the Tower believed they were few, and they certainly were keeping themselves low.

The effect of these revelations, both on Aes Sedai and on Kinswomen, is as yet a matter for speculation.

The Knitting Circle (a title chosen, like the Kin, because it is innocuous) thus consists of the thirteen oldest Kinswomen resident in Ebou Dar, with the oldest given the title of Eldest.
