The Seanchan take slavery to a whole new level.
Editor's note: The below contains spoilers for Season 2 of The Wheel of Time as well as The Wheel of Time books.
Women who can channel the One Power are hunted and seen as less than people in the Seanchan Empire. They are classified into two categories: damane and sul'dam. Damane are female channelers who are enslaved and forced to use their powers as weapons of war, and sul'dam are the ones who train and control damane. In The Wheel of Time Season 2, we get a look at how the Seanchan control channelers firsthand in one of the show's most brutal episodes yet.
For those who have only grown up within the Seanchan culture, damane truly believe that being collared is necessary for the safety of everyone else. The behavior training they undergo makes them childlike, obedient, and eager to please. Even when damane are "freed" from their role, breaking the psychological conditioning they have been subjected to is nearly impossible, and many of them struggle to adapt to having autonomy.
What is not widely known in the Seanchan culture is that sul'dam are actually women who could learn to channel but are not born with the spark like damane are, which would enable them to learn to use the One Power either with or without training. This trait is not common knowledge within the Seanchan culture and has mostly been lost over time, as they just believe that damane and sul'dam are simply born into their respective roles.
