Ruling Body#

Emond's Field is ruled by the mayor, the village council, the Wisdom and the women's circle. At the beginning of the series, the mayor is Bran al'Vere, and the Wisdom is Nynaeve.

Changes During the Series (Possible Spoilers)#

Now that Perrin and Faile have moved in and a manor house is being built, however, "Lord" Perrin now rules Emond's Field, much to his chagrin.

"Only two of the men before the fire, Haral Luhhan...and Jon Thane" (TEotW,Ch2)
Who is the fourth? Jordan does not say.
"In the common room Rowan Hurn and Samel Crawe had joined the others in front of the fire, so that the entire Village Council was there." (TEotW,Ch2)
