"The Children of the Light, led by Geofram Bornhald and Jaichim Carridin, have moved troops into the territory [Almoth Plain and Toman Head] disguised as Taraboner and Domani soldiers, seeding chaos and stirring the already volatile civil warfare for their own purposes. Questioners were assigned to lead raids on suspect communities, rooting out Darkfriends and dispensing their brand of justice across the plain. Dozens of communities have felt the bite of their justice--burned husks of homes and business stand in smoldering testimony to Whitecloak tactics. Carridin, secretly a Darkfriend, brought the Whitecloak army into the region at the behest of Ba'alzamon, as part of a much larger, undisclosed scheme. Bornhald, unsure of Carridin's motives, is marshalling as many of the Children as possible, and heading toward Falme to learn more of the Seanchan invaders" (Toman Head 35).

"An organized, well-efficient military camp sits atop a low, treeless hill. A handful of small tents surround a much larger tent at the crest of the hill. At the northern end of the encampment is a timber-fenced pen, while a dozen or so horses are strung together at the southern end. A few soldiers stand around campfires, their cloaks flapping in the chilling breeze" (Toman Head 42).

"The next morning, the Whitecloaks raid Aturo's Orchard. Ten Children of the Light (in Taraboner uniforms) swoop down on the ivllage, led by two Questioners--Child Earwin and Child Wuan. Jachim Carridin has already departed to Tanchico with a small escort of soldiers (Toman Head 45)."

"The two armies [Children and Seanchan] are closer than ever now--no more than a few hundred paces on either side of you! Suddenly, there is a roar and the sound of thunderours hoof beats from the slope to the north. The Children of the Light have begun their charge! (Toman Head 62)"

"Carridin intends to assasinate the Panarch and blame Arad Doman, thus thrusting Tarabon deeper into an all-out war with its northern neighbor. He does this so that the Children of the Light can then step in and restore peace, granting the Whitecloaks near total control of Tarabon (Winter of Discontent 73)."

"The white sunburst of the Children of the Light hangs over the gate of an ornate whiteashed building [Tanchico headquarters of Children of Light] surrounded by a high wall. Several Whitecloaks stand around the gate, while others come and go in groups of four or five. (Winter of Discontent 74)."

"The cell door opens, and Carridin walks in flanked by four Whitecloaks. 'I cannot begin to tell you how pleased I am to see you here,' says the Inquisitor, smiling almost affectionately at you. 'Today, your salvation will begin. No one is so long in the Shadow that he cannot come to the Light, my children. And it is my duty,' he adds as he gestures the Whitecloak guards toward one of you, 'to see that you begin that journey now. Unburden yourselves to me, and answer truly. Do you walk in the Light?'" (WoD 84).

"The Children of the Light are encamped at the western base of Watch Hill, just beyond the edge of town. Over 100 tents are pitched in perfectly even rows, with several command tents in the center. Guards stand at the alert along the perimeter, keeping a careful watch over the open fields between the camp and the nearest stands of trees. At the northern end of camp, a second, smaller campsite sits just beyond the guard lines. Its haphazard collection of dingy tents and waste-strewn cook-pits are a world apart from the gleaming and ordered appearance of the rest of camp. The area appears deserted" (The Two Rivers 114).

"Nearly 400 Children of the Light are encamped here, although almost half that number is currently in Emond's Field, attempting to arrest Lord Perrin. The dingy section off to the side belongs to Ordeith (Padan Fain) and the band of Whitecloaks he has corrupted" (tTR 115).

"Lieutenant Marin Carrack is a quintessential Child of the Light--an arrogant man with a highly inflated sense of his own importance, and a suspicious nature concerning the motives of anyone outside his order" (tTR 115).

"A large contingent of Children of the Light has appeared-perhaps 200 horsemen. They seem to have come from within the village, but their armor gleams and their cloaks are spotless--there is no sign of battle among them. The leader steps forward and challenges Lord Perrin
"'I arrest you now as a Darkfriend and murderer,'
"'Almost immediately the surrounding people break into a roar. 'No! No!' many of them shout, and 'You will not take him!'" (tTR 120).
