	Confessor (Sword of Truth) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A confessor is a race of beings in the Midlands, part of the highest social class and primarily female, that were almost entirely wiped out during the reign of Darken Rahl.
		Confessors have position according to their power, because the ones with the strongest power will bear daughters who have the best chance of having that stronger power, and so the Mother Confessor is the most powerful Confessor in the order.
		A duty of the Mother Confessor's position is to chair the Central Council of the Midlands, and as such is - in practice - the ruler of all the Midlands, though this is not entirely accurate as all the nations of the Midlands have nearly complete autonomy.

	The Sword of Truth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Sword of Truth belongs to the seeker as long as he or she is alive, or as long as he/she chooses to be Seeker.
		The Sword's magic is divided into two halves: Additive and Subtractive, depending on the color of the blade of the Sword of Truth.
		A third drawback is that in the end the magic of the Sword of Truth turns the Seeker into a creature similar to Samuel, a small apish, demented creature that is reduced to little but lust, greed, hate, and fear.

	Greyboar - Terry Goodkind, The Sword of Truth
		Another entry in Goodkind's fantasy Sword of Truth series (Temple of the Winds, 1997, etc.) and a new adventure for Richard, Lord Rahl, the Seeker of Truth and wielder of the Sword of Truth, his wife Kahlan Amnell, the Mother Confessor, and grandfather Zedd the wizard.
		Sword of Truth, George R.R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire, and Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time, but in a world of middle books that go nowhere and endless waits between episodes, Goodkind is certainly still serving up some of the best fantasy on today's menu.
		The Seeker of Truth and his Mother Confessor sweetie are both looking a little worse for the wear after their chime-hunt in Soul of the Fire.

		Richard becomes the Seeker of Truth, the latest and most powerful in that line of individuals who search for truth as their mission in life.
		The blade severed one of the man’s raised arms before exploding through his skull.” Interestingly, Richard is able to use the Sword of Truth and his other powers only when he reaches a state of anger.
		But there is an unfortunate side effect to this power: the person touched is bonded to the confessor for life, exists only to serve the confessor, and will kill himself on the command of the confessor.

	The Council of Truth - a Terry Goodkind role play game.
		Sent to kill Confessors with the reasoning that one would be taken with the power, he would be able to kill one or two of the others before dying, and the one remaining would kill the Confessor.
		"The Seeker of Truth and wielder of the Sword of Truth, the bringer of death, the Master of D'Hara, the ruler of the Midlands, the commander of the gar nation, the champion of free people and bane of the wicked, and the betrothed of the Mother Confessor." Stated by Berdine at the beginning of TotW.
		When a male Confessor is born, the mother's mate puts the child on the Stone, places a rod on the baby's throat, and steps on both ends.

	THE ESSAYS
		Truth may perhaps come to the price of a pearl, that showeth best by day; but it will not rise to the price of a diamond, or carbuncle, that showeth best in varied lights.
		Therefore it is most necessary, that the church, by doctrine and decree, princes by their sword, and all learnings, both Christian and moral, as by their Mercury rod, do damn and send to hell for ever, those facts and opinions tending to the support of the same; as hath been already in good part done.
		So that it is in truth, of operation upon a man's mind, of like virtue as the alchemists use to attribute to their stone, for man's body; that it worketh all contrary effects, but still to the good and benefit of nature.

		Confessors appear to be ordinary women, distinguished by the length of their hair, and their dresses, made of simple fl fabric, cut with a square neckline.
		One touched by a Confessor will do anything she says, including confessing the truth of any crime he may have committed, hence the name "Confessor." The Confessor's power works, not by bringing forth the power, but simply by releasing restraint on that power while touching the intended target.
		Because all Confessor's children are Confessors as well, and male child born to a Confessor must be killed at birth.

	Martin Luther - The man for his time
		There was a present truth in the days of Luther,--a truth at that time of special importance; there is a present truth for the church today.
		The great controversy between truth and error, between Christ and Satan, is to increase in intensity to the close of this world's history.
		The forms of opposition to the truth may change, the enmity may be less open because it is more subtle; but the same antagonism still exists and will be manifested to the end of time.

		If her death was to come, it needed to come as a direct result of one of Richard's irrational attempts to save her life, forcing him to come to terms with his hypocrisy.
		I also hate the last minute escapes, but what I hate more is the fact that as powerful as her Confessor's power is supposed to be, it almost never works.
		While the Confessors hold various kingdoms to the Rule of Law, they are free to govern as they see fit within reason.

	The Dogmatic Spirit, by B. B. Warfield
		It seems to be, moreover, the attitude toward the body of revealed truth commended to those who were to be its "ministers" and not its masters, by the Lord and his apostles, when they placed it as a rich treasure in the keeping of stewards of the mysteries of God.
		It is, perhaps, none the worse as an illustration that it presents the dogmatic habit in an extreme form, and, in the opinion of the biographer at least, in perverted action.
		It may be misled into harsh judgments of individuals by its own clear view of the consistency of truth, and its own vivid realization of the significance and issue of special errors and shortcomings.

		The Quad was not sent to kill her, either, but rather to beat her, and spell her, so when Zedd tried to heal her, he would be the one to end her life, and it'd be painful and brutal, and it might destroy him...
		Confessors must be taught from a young age to control their power, least they inadvertanly lose their hold on it, and take someone.
		If Richard was a confessor, Zedd would have had to teach him about the power, there would be no avoiding it.

		As in the two previous novels of The Sword of Truth fantasy cycle (Stone of Tears, etc.), Goodkind builds an intricate plot teeming with violence, treachery and intrigue.
		There is a lot of sword and sorcery action here, and although it has a darker tone than most fantasies, there is also a strain of humor unseen in works by Robert Jordan, Terry Brooks, or David Eddings.

		Even when not dressed in her Mother Confessor garb, her hair, her face, her figure, and mostly her bearing speak of what she is and the power she has.

		Besides to sum up the whole, and put the truth past all doubt, they said he came from a council of war, held that morning on board the admiral's ship, in order to put in execution the orders assigned him.
		The Jesuits, finding their arguments had not the desired effect, that torments could not shake his constancy, nor even the fear of the cruel sentence he had reason to expect would be pronounced and executed on him, after severe menaces, left him.
		The first part of this sentence was executed with great barbarity that night; and it pleased God to give him strength both of body and mind, to stand fast to the truth, and to survive the horrid punishments inflicted on him.

		That the Celtic, not the Latin, race populated the British Isles was a determining factor, for the Christian churches in which Patrick had been reared received their doctrine, not from Rome, but from their brethren of the same faith in Asia Minor.
		There were points of difference as is recorded in her Life, written by her priestly confessor, Turgot.37 The first two points were relative to the age long controversy about Easter.
		As pointed out in the story of Patrick, the opposition to the Ten Commandments failed to recognize that the culminating reason for the death of Christ upon the cross was that while becoming man's substitute He was to uphold the moral law.

	Sword of Truth by Terry Goodkind Book Reviews
		The whole sword of Truth series is geared towards all ages, from teens to elders and adults alike!
		Goodkind has a knack for making his reader fall in love with the characters, whether it be the beautiful Mother Confessor, or the striking Mord'Sith, who you know you should hate, but by Faith of the Fallen, you can see inside the souls of those strange characters and can't help but love them.
		No these ideas are not new, no the wizards rules aren't new, but they are presented in such a unique and startling format that they seep into the recesses of our being, and take root, eventually blossoming and giving us their wisdom and lending their application to each moment of each day we live.
