Herot is ruled over by an elected elder. By the time the Doctor and Martha encounter the village, it is ruled by Petr, the 12<sup>th</sup> elected elder. The source of wisdom and guidance in the village, however, is the Dazai, an inherited title passed from mother to daughter. | |||
Despite the lack of churches, many villagers held a belief in the existence of a "creator", which the Dazai, Jude, Saul and Petr eventually met. Herot's inhabitants also had mythology, in particular, the belief that if the stolen children were to return to the village, then Herot would be destroyed. This belief, although not founded in science, was, in fact, correct, as if the children did return, then the "creator" would not be able to sustain the pocket dimension because of the large amount of data required to imagine children. | Despite the lack of churches, many villagers held a belief in the existence of a "creator", which the Dazai, Jude, Saul and Petr eventually met.

The world outside of the village was inaccessible for a time, during which the Castor was losing power and Herot's creator the will to continue ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Wooden Heart (novel)|Wooden Heart]]''). Once the Doctor powered the Castor up again, it is assumed that the rest of the constructed world was once again accessible. If this was the case, the Dazai retreated to the mountains to overcome her own demons in order to be of better service to the village, as was customary for Dazai to do. | ||
The village's architecture was a mixture of many earth styles, such as having keyhole shaped doorways with sliding doors, triangular windows and an English style village green. | The village's architecture was a mixture of many earth styles, such as having keyhole shaped doorways with sliding doors, triangular windows and an English style village green. | ||
