About Field of Merrilor
The Field of Merrilor is an open plain near the Erinin, north of Tar Valon and close to the Borderlands. Its flat ground and nearby river make it a natural place for large armies to camp.
The field becomes an important meeting place for the rulers and armies of the Westlands in Towers of Midnight and A Memory of Light. Use the spoiler filter if you have not reached those books.
Spoiler note: this guide mentions events up to Towers of Midnight.
