The decrees and statutes that govern the White Tower and, through the Tower Guard, the island city of Tar Valon, including the rules binding novices and Accepted.

Tower law is the body of decrees, laws and statutes by which the White Tower is governed, separate from the customs and traditions that also bind its sisters. Because the Tower Guard is the military force of Tar Valon, its provisions can reach across the whole island city. A good deal of it governs the women in training. Novices may not leave the Tower grounds except in the company of an Aes Sedai, must wear all-white dresses, belt pouches, stockings and, out of doors, cloaks, may not speak to an Aes Sedai unless told to, must curtsy each time they pass one, may touch the One Power only under supervision, and may never attempt the weave of Healing. Accepted may not bond Warders at all, may not leave Tar Valon except on official business, arrange their own classes, choose the direction of their own studies, and never speak of what they met in their test for Accepted.
