Arches
Each woman who comes to the White Tower must pass through a ter'angreal in the form of three arches in order to be raised from a Novice to an Accepted. Inside these arches, a woman earns the seven bands of color at the hem of her white dress by facing her fears and overcoming them. She must be steadfast in the face of danger and heartache, and she is seldom the same after this experience.
This is a compilation of the writings of the women of the White Tower who have chosen to share their Arches experiences. They are arranged according to the month during which the post was made.
