Aviendha's vision happens before Rand's transformation (Based on the ToM timeline linked below, Aviendha enters the columns on day 801 and leaves on 811, and Rand meets Tam and subsequently transforms into the new Rand on days 815-816).

No, that's her first experience in the columns, where she saw the traditional Aiel history, and the ??? marker indicates I'm highly uncertain about the precision of that timing. Her second experience began the same day she finished the first; I marked it as between 811 and 821, since there's an interlude where she ends one vision and sees the sun shining, indicating that Rand's epiphany has happened. Since we have that marker, I'm more certain of the timing for the second experience.

They are pretty close to evil. Slavery being the big thing, but the crushing social scale is far - 31/12/2010 06:45:59 PM 1169 Views
The Aiel sold slaves to Shara, does that make them evil? No society in Randland is without flaws. - 07/01/2011 05:10:32 AM 1420 Views
you are missing my point - 07/01/2011 11:31:11 PM 1296 Views

I totally agree with your last point, which is why I think RJ set them up to be the "Evil Empire" - 22/01/2011 06:12:46 PM 1213 Views
They're not entirely evil though, and RJ has written them that way - 22/01/2011 08:02:22 PM 1193 Views
