The Masters' Horns Table in The Kingkiller Chronicle stands as an iconic symbol of authority and intimidation within the University, a crescent-shaped wooden edifice in a windowless room where the nine masters convene under the Chancellor's central gaze. Designed low to the ground to loom at eye level with standing students, it underscores the power imbalance during formal disciplinary proceedings. Though its physical presence is most vividly detailed in the first book, the table endures as a recurring emblem of the University's arcane governance throughout the series, witnessing Kvothe's trials and evolutions without significant alteration.
