- For the chapter in The Eye of the World called "The Wisdom", see The Eye of the World/Chapter 16.
Wisdom is a term used in the Two Rivers region of Andor to describe a village healer, found in many names as you cross the world but fairly constant in terms of occupation. They practice mastery of herbal remedies and are adept at treating illnesses and such. Many, though not all, Wisdoms are saidar-sensitive, but they are almost without variation wilders with no knowledge of their true powers.
All Wisdoms claim that they can " Listen to the Wind" but only those who are also wilders actually have the ability. The village Wisdom is the female counterpart to the village Mayor.
