Egwene al'Vere's Council

From A Wheel of Time Wiki

Egwene's Council was set up so that she could be advised by a single sister from each of the six Ajahs among the Rebel Aes Sedai.

The bulk of it was made up of the Salidar Six, minus Sheriam (who was already Egwene's Keeper of the Chronicles). The sixth member of the council was Nisao Dachen, who had also sworn an oath of allegience to Egwene. She used the oaths they had sworn to her to force them to get themselves chosen as the representative of their respective Ajahs. This was no easy task for some of them, but they managed to do it. This meant that she was surrounded with advisors that she felt she could trust - as much as you can trust any Aes Sedai, at least.

[edit] Members of the Council

The members of Egwene's Council were as follows:

• Anaiya for the Blue Ajah
• Myrelle Berengari for the Green Ajah
• Beonin Marinye for the Gray Ajah
• Morvrin for the Brown Ajah
• Carlinya for the White Ajah
• Nisao Dachen for the Yellow Ajah

[edit] Maigan

After Anaiya was murdered, the Blue Ajah chose Maigan as her replacement on the Council. This, however, made things difficult for Egwene and the others since Maigan had not sworn her allegience as the others had. She also clashed with the other five members of the Council.

[edit] Dissolution

After the capture of Egwene, the Council really had no one to advise. Beonin took the opportunity to return to the White Tower. Morvrin also seems to be happy that she no longer has to play a part as Egwene's advisor. It is uncertain if they will ever play a role as the Council in the future.
