Amadicia Amadicia itself is a relatively minor player in world politics. It is better known as the home of the Children of the Light. It is the Children who rule in Amadicia. The Children allow the monarchy to continue in Amadicia, largely to avoid

Sedai to avoid the country if at all possible. Even if they did not channel, their ageless features would undoubtedly bring them unwanted attention.
Aes Sedai are not the only ones who avoid Amadicia whenever possible. Amadicia’s harsh laws serve to frighten away common criminals, such as thieves. A person is branded the first
time they are caught stealing, loses a hand for the second, and is hanged after their third offense.
