Village Council

From A Wheel of Time Wiki

In the Two Rivers area in Andor there are a few villages that hold themselves independent of the Queen and practice self government. The Village Council, sometimes known by different names, is comprised of all males who are elected by the townspeople. The Mayor of the town can be elected generally or by the Village Council. Council members create policy on things like negotiations with other towns, as well as things like trade.

The Village Council is often at odds with the equally important Women's Circle, which is the council for females.
