Shemerin
Shemerin was an Aes Sedai of the Yellow Ajah who stood with Elaida do Avriny a'Roihan during the coup against Amyrlin Siuan Sanche, and afterward sat on Elaida's personal council.
Shemerin held her place in a White Tower that had just been remade. The sisterhood of Tar Valon had suffered its first internal schism in a thousand years, and authority now ran through Elaida, whose word as Amyrlin set the terms of Tower life for every sister who remained inside its walls.
Within that order Shemerin stood near the center. A place in the Amyrlin's inner council put her voice within Elaida's hearing whenever Tower business was decided, and few sisters of any Ajah could say the same. Seats of that kind were marks of trust, and the Amyrlin did not hand them to strangers. It was a position that rested on loyalty; hers had been given early, and given plainly.
Tar Valon remained the seat of Aes Sedai power in the world, whatever cracks had opened beneath it. Shemerin's own footing was plain. She was a councilor now, and the council was Elaida's.
