I'll tell you this, traveler: the shape of a society is visible only from the outside, and there is peace beyond a boundary.

— Yla Haj

The Daughters of Exile are a small religious faction in Caves of Qud. Followers of the physician Rebekah, they are known as an order of "tinker-nuns" who consider the repair of machines to be a form of healing.^[1]

Nearly all information about the Daughters of Exile is sourced from Yla Haj, the unique member of this faction residing in Ezra. She describes herself and her sisters as having "chosen a life of unbelonging." The Daughters value the inscriptions which decorate the tombs of the sultans within the Tomb of the Eaters; during the sultanate of Resheph, Rebekah was excommunicated for the theft of the Mark of Death^[2] which would have allowed her inside of the Tomb. Mayor Haddas explains that Ezra's Warden, 1-FF, "was reprogrammed by the Daughter who lived and died in the rot-black box, nine Daughters ago."

Most Daughters of Exile can be encountered on the Stiltgrounds and throughout Qud on a pilgrimage to the gravesite of Rebekah.^[3] It is a "sacred place" to the Daughters, but when asked about Zothom the Penitent's vigil there, Yla Haj calls him a "fool;" "I have no use for a man who seeks salvation in the body of a dead woman."
