After spending ten years as a novice and six years as Accepted, she flunked her test for the shawl very badly and was put out of the Tower in 643 NE. Yellow-haired and thin, with no gray or white in her hair, Sibella appeared to be in her middle years and favored plunging necklines. When encountered by Nynaeve and Elayne, she wore the red belt of a Wise Woman. She fainted when Merilille and the others unmasked her. A member of the party that went to the Rahad to get the Bowl of the Winds, Sibella was injured by the gholam, but Nynaeve and Sumeko Healed her. She was present at the meeting with the Windfinders in the Tarasin Palace, and part of manipulating them, on orders from Elayne and Nynaeve. Sibella nearly fainted again at the suggestion of sitting in the presence of Aes Sedai and the Queen. Sibella accompanied Elayne to the Royal Palace in Caemlyn.

Sidon. A single-inn village in Ghealdan, on the west bank of the River Boern where a stone bridge spanned the river between fifty-foot cliffs. When Moiraine and her party passed through chasing after Rand, they found Sidon burned; a lantern dropped in a barn had started a fire that seemed to run wild, and everything went wrong.

Sienda. A sizable two-inn village in Amadicia. The dwellings were of stone and thatch, and the dirt streets were crowded with Whitecloaks and King’s men. Nynaeve, Elayne, Thom and Juilin stayed at an inn there. Nynaeve, in Tel’aran’rhiod, found out that Elaida was the new Amyrlin, and that rebel Aes Sedai were hiding out somewhere. The two women met Galad, now a Whitecloak officer, at the inn over breakfast, and he said he wished to escort them to Caemlyn, although they were on their way to Tear. They all snuck away, and joined Master Luca’s menagerie heading for Ghealdan. One of Luca’s boar-horses had damaged one of the inns.

After spending eight years as a novice and nine years as Accepted, she was raised to the shawl in 769 NE. Sierin was plump, with a grim face and hard eyes; she was stern, and had more than a touch of Red in her. On being raised Amyrlin in the spring of 979 NE, rather than granting petitions and relief from penances, she exiled three sisters from the Tower and had two more birched. She also fired every male clerk in the Tower for such offenses as “flirting with novices and Accepted” or “inappropriate glances and looks.” Sierin was assassinated by a small group of Red sisters in 984 NE when she was about to put an end to the male channeler pogrom. Chesmal Emry claimed to have induced the Red Ajah to kill Sierin when Sierin was about to have her arrested.

Silver Penny, The. An inn in Chachin, Kandor. Its innkeeper was Nedare Satarov. Moiraine stopped in to ask if Siuan was staying there; Nedare told her that she was, and offered Moiraine a mug of spiced wine. Nedare’s air of anticipation made Moiraine suspicious that there was something in the wine; she made Nedare drink the wine. Nedare tried to flee, but fell to the floor, revealing silk stockings; she had done quite well drugging innocent women for the use of her rough customers. A number of the men in the common room looked at her lasciviously, and all the women, including Moiraine, left.
