In the book Debt of Bones:
p.13
In the centre of the cream-coloured marble floor, inset in brass lines, was a circle with a square inside it, its corners touching the circle. Inside the square sat another circle just large enough to touch the insides of the square. The centre circle held an eight-pointed star. Lines radiated out from the points of the star, piercing all the way through both circles, everyother line bisecting a corner of the square.

The outer circle represented the beginning of the infinity of the spirit world out beyong. The square represented the bundary seperating the spirit world - the Underworld, the world of the dead- from the inner circle, which represented the limits of the world of life. In the centre of it all was the star, representing the Light - the Creator.

p. 35 DOB
His arm swept around, drawing a circle. Drew an inner circle. He drew the eight-pointed star inside the smaller circle. He drew the lines radiating outward, through both circles, but left one absent. He laid down the lines of sand for two sides of the sqaure. He began the last two sides. Instead of a straight line, he drew and arc that dipped well into the edge of the inner circle - the one represeting the world of life. The ard, instead of ending at the outer circle, crossed it. He drew the last circle, likewise arced, so that it too crossed into the inner circle. He brought the line to meet the other where the ray of Light was missing. Unlike the other three points of the square, this last point ended outside the larger circle - in the world of the dead.

Mord-Sith are selected every year from all parts of D'Hara as girls. Those chosen are the most kind-hearted and gentle girls that can be found. Each Mord-Sith is broken three times in training: 1) Her spirit, by the same torture she will give to others; 2) Her empathy is broken, by watching her trainer break and eventually kill her mother; 3) The future Mord-Sith must break and kill her father, which destroys her fear of hurting others and makes her enjoy giving pain.

Spoken by Kahlan's grandmother, I believe:
p. 49-50 DOB

"Even he would be lost if he tried to use magic against a Mord-Sith," the Mother Confessor said. "A Mord-Sith can be defeated with common weapons - but not with magic. Only the magic of a Confessor works against them. I have killed two. In part because of the brutal nature of the training of Mord-Sith, they have been outlawed for as long as anyone knows, but in D'Hara the gastly tradition of taking young women to be indoctrinated as Mord-Sith continues to this day.
