Interestingly, there also existed a [[Master of the Fields]], the symbolic leader of the people of the rural towns surrounding [[the Strange and Wonderful House]] in its [[Universe A (Our Strange and Wonderful House)|native universe]]. It was this 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.
