The department of Membership has always existed in one form or another since the creation of TarValon.net in 2001. Originally, the Keeper of the Chronicles was in charge of all Membership Administrators (Heads of Ajah, Company Commanders, Mistress of Novices and Captain of the Guard), but later the duties were split with the Master at Arms who took charge over the male half of the Tower. In 2006, upon the retirement of the Master at Arms, the duties were redistributed between the Director of Membership and the Director of Administration, the Master at Arms position was taken away completely, and the Keeper became an officer in charge of day to day operations of TarValon.net rather than focusing on Membership issues alone.

The Hall and Council (henceforth referred to as ‘the Hall’) serve as the main advisory board for the Administration.

The Hall also provides counsel whenever the Amyrlin Seat should desire it, such as for membership bans, dispensing emergency funds, selecting a scholarship recipient and other sensitive issues.
