Keeper of the Chronicles is a fictional title that exists in Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time Series.
Although second in authority to the Amyrlin, the Keeper of the Chronicles has no real authority over Aes Sedai, except what the Amyrlin Seat chooses to give her. She also acts as the Amyrlin's secretary. The Keeper is chosen for life by the Hall of the Tower, usually from the same Ajah as the Amyrlin.

Famous quotes containing the words keeper and/or chronicles:
“There was a weasel lived in the sun
With all his family,
Till a keeper shot him with his gun”
—Edward Thomas (1878–1917)
“Our medieval historians who prefer to rely as much as possible on official documents because the chronicles are unreliable, fall thereby into an occasionally dangerous error. The documents tell us little about the difference in tone which separates us from those times; they let us forget the fervent pathos of medieval life.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
