but there is no evidence that the Aiel are any more phenotypically diverse than numerous accounts from credible characters (Rand, Egwene, Mat, Aviendha, etc.) make them out to be. And given that red hair appears to be just as recessive in Randland as it is in our world (e.g., Tinkers show no notable uniformly red hair because of interbreeding), it stands to reason that there are very few dark-haired and dark-eyed people in the gene pool.

The Aiel at the end are Aiel because they have veils (which they didn't replace before killing).

Liah didn't veil in Aridhol when she killed some Trollocs.

True, at that point she was essentially a feral animal.

There's actually a pretty good chance they aren't channelers, I think.

Whoever she had been, she was surely no Aiel, not with that pale skin and /those dark eyes./

The point is it doesn't look like an Aiel

Perhaps the black eyes are due to something akin to the saa? *NM*

Makes sense if they're Dreadlords, though, in a way, that would be disappointing.

They did "ethnically cleanse"

There's no evidence to that effect; on what do you base that statement?

No, I was being facetious about "cleansing"

I suppose that means the guys who stabbed Demira in Caemlyn were Aiel too

If these guys were trying to make it look like a failed AIel killing, they suck at it.
