The red rod is a ter'angreal that was recovered from the Kin's Storeroom in Ebou Dar.[1]
Appearance[]
The rod is as thick as a person's wrist, is bright crimson red, and is smooth and rounded. It seems to be made from stone, though it is soft to the touch, firm rather than hard.
Use[]
The exact use of the rod is unknown. It feels almost hot when held in the hand, but not with real heat. The ter'angreal made Elayne think of fire when she held it, and when she channeled fire into the rod, she lost consciousness. Upon awakening, everyone refused to tell her what happened and struggled to keep from rolling on the floor laughing.[2]
The evidence, including the shape and flexibility of the rod, seems to indicate that this ter'angreal is some sort of sexual aid.
