View source for Master of the Fields

The '''Master of the Fields''' was the leader, at least symbolically, of the people of the rural towns surrounding [[the Strange and Wonderful House]] in its [[Universe A (Our Strange and Wonderful House)|native universe]], acting as a counterpart to the [[Master of the House]]. It was the Master's responsibility to lead the [[Harvest Procession]] that brought victuals to the House for the winter through [[the Great South Gate]] every year on [[Harvest Day]], riding on the lead cart, which was pulled by a team of eight, unblemished black oxen adorned with ribbons. 

[[Rondel's father]] became the new Master of the Fields just in time to lead one such Procession, with his twelve-year-old son riding along with him on the lead cart.
