General

Sabeine Ocalin is a woman of the Kin. She can Travel and makes a perfect scout, as she is accustomed to the life of a peddler (CoT, Ch. 14).

Timeline

• For the last twenty years she has been a peddler (CoT, Ch. 14).

• Although not mentioned directly by name, she is at the farm when Elayne and her party arrive (TPoD, Ch. 4). When the Seanchan attack the farm (TPoD, Ch. 6), she Travels with the others to Andor, riding toward Caemlyn (TPoD, Ch. 20), and eventually arrives at the Royal Palace (TPoD, Ch. 28).

• Birgitte sends out Sabeine and Julanya Fote to scout the villages along Andor's northern border where the Borderlanders pass through. The villagers there seem to think the army is camped for the winter. The two Kinswomen also have to look for word of the six major Houses that remain uncommitted; they report that rumor has Lord Luan at a dozen different places and not a whisper is to be heard of either Abelle or Ellorien (CoT, Ch. 14).

Quotes

"Both women had spent the last twenty years as peddlers, accustomed to hard journeys, sleeping in stables or under the trees, and listening to what people did not say as much as to what they said. They made perfect scouts. It would be a great loss if they had to be shifted to helping keep the city supplied." (Elayne on Sabeine and Julanya; Crossroads of Twilight, Chapter 14)
