Depends on how one defines Aiel darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 04/04/2012 04:11:11 AM
Prophecies of confirmed accuracy tell us that the Aiel will be reduced to a remnant of a remnant by Rand, but Aviendha's vision has at its core problem that the Aiel are too plentiful and powerful, and therefore got bored.


What we don't see in Aviendha's vision is any remnant of the Aiel who go back to The Way of The Leaf ... By definition these are the true Aiel.

The entire point, I believe, is to give Avienda the opportunity to change that future LadyLorraine - 03/04/2012 05:13:48 PM 1241 Views
As far as I understand it, that future is impossible anyway. Fanatic-Templar - 03/04/2012 07:30:52 PM 972 Views

There are more than there were before. Fanatic-Templar - 04/04/2012 07:03:27 AM 939 Views
But when the prophesy was made there many followers darius_sedai - 04/04/2012 10:10:54 AM 858 Views
The Tuatha'an are not Aiel. Fanatic-Templar - 04/04/2012 06:28:47 PM 938 Views

For the record I agree that the visions are not true either darius_sedai - 05/04/2012 02:25:47 PM 924 Views

Yes, I was thinking of the Aiel's suicidal traditions as well. Fanatic-Templar - 05/04/2012 06:24:56 PM 844 Views

So what you're saying... Fanatic-Templar - 07/04/2012 10:07:59 PM 749 Views
What I am saying is that it's not a "pure bloodline" that makes one an Aiel darius_sedai - 08/04/2012 12:16:10 AM 842 Views
I never said it was. Fanatic-Templar - 08/04/2012 12:43:26 AM 918 Views
Actually you did In your above post you speak of the Tinkers as not Aiel because they have been darius_sedai - 08/04/2012 06:09:01 AM 854 Views
No... Fanatic-Templar - 08/04/2012 07:12:22 AM 960 Views
You have no evidence that the Tuath'an are mostly comprised of runaways etc darius_sedai - 08/04/2012 05:16:54 PM 932 Views

Thanks for that. Fanatic-Templar - 09/04/2012 02:38:25 AM 673 Views
Red hair is double recessive ... Doesn't take much to eliminate it from the gene pool. There could darius_sedai - 08/04/2012 11:22:36 PM 888 Views
You are consistently making the same mistake. Fanatic-Templar - 09/04/2012 02:45:46 AM 740 Views
They are the same thing. The remnant of a remnant are Aiel darius_sedai - 10/04/2012 05:04:55 AM 885 Views
No. They are not. Fanatic-Templar - 10/04/2012 05:42:29 AM 777 Views
Never said the remnant of the remnant was the whole of the Aiel darius_sedai - 10/04/2012 05:45:47 PM 798 Views
You said that redefining the Aiel would allow Aviendha's vision to be possible. Fanatic-Templar - 10/04/2012 06:53:51 PM 968 Views
No , I said there were many ways to interpret the statement based on how one defines Aiel darius_sedai - 10/04/2012 07:36:11 PM 746 Views
All of which is entirely irrelevant. Fanatic-Templar - 10/04/2012 07:38:29 PM 768 Views
Actually it states he will save a remnant of a remnant darius_sedai - 10/04/2012 07:47:04 PM 835 Views
Re: Actually it states he will save a remnant of a remnant Fanatic-Templar - 11/04/2012 01:40:36 AM 812 Views
That is what I just said darius_sedai - 14/04/2012 01:41:56 AM 781 Views
What is important about that? Fanatic-Templar - 14/04/2012 04:35:55 AM 754 Views
The importance is that the prophesy says that Rand darius_sedai - 14/04/2012 06:06:31 PM 929 Views
So what you're saying is... Fanatic-Templar - 14/04/2012 09:45:36 PM 805 Views
That's exactly it darius_sedai - 14/04/2012 11:21:25 PM 873 Views
Good. Fanatic-Templar - 15/04/2012 02:01:14 AM 897 Views
He sets it in motion, thus his actions lead to it darius_sedai - 15/04/2012 02:55:13 PM 762 Views
Yes, but in that case, he is responsible for everything, ever. Fanatic-Templar - 15/04/2012 05:29:31 PM 866 Views
We are interpreting Prophesy here ... Direct v. Indirect actions are what we are discussing darius_sedai - 15/04/2012 07:21:29 PM 756 Views

Depends on how you look at the Prophesy darius_sedai - 18/04/2012 01:45:23 PM 711 Views
Of course, but the point of my example was... Fanatic-Templar - 17/04/2012 06:08:09 PM 747 Views
Where are you getting this happens over thousands of years? darius_sedai - 18/04/2012 01:47:42 PM 750 Views
Because that was the important part of that post. Fanatic-Templar - 18/04/2012 05:28:10 PM 876 Views
Don't know when this became about winning darius_sedai - 19/04/2012 02:08:16 AM 664 Views
