There are more than there were before. Fanatic-Templar Send a noteboard - 04/04/2012 07:03:27 AM
Before Rand revealed the history of the Aiel, there were exactly zero Aiel followers of the Way of the Leaf. Now there is endemic depression among the Aiel, some of whom are leaving to join the Tuatha'an.

Even if this weren't the case, there is no way you can start with zero and end up with a remnant. A remnant is by definition a persistent fraction of a whole, but you cannot divide zero, you cannot have something persist that doesn't already exist.

The entire point, I believe, is to give Avienda the opportunity to change that future LadyLorraine - 03/04/2012 05:13:48 PM 1187 Views
As far as I understand it, that future is impossible anyway. Fanatic-Templar - 03/04/2012 07:30:52 PM 926 Views
Depends on how one defines Aiel darius_sedai - 04/04/2012 04:11:11 AM 881 Views

But when the prophesy was made there many followers darius_sedai - 04/04/2012 10:10:54 AM 810 Views
The Tuatha'an are not Aiel. Fanatic-Templar - 04/04/2012 06:28:47 PM 881 Views

For the record I agree that the visions are not true either darius_sedai - 05/04/2012 02:25:47 PM 871 Views

Yes, I was thinking of the Aiel's suicidal traditions as well. Fanatic-Templar - 05/04/2012 06:24:56 PM 805 Views

Re: The Tuatha'an are not Aiel. darius_sedai - 07/04/2012 07:23:03 PM 754 Views
So what you're saying... Fanatic-Templar - 07/04/2012 10:07:59 PM 699 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 805 Views
I never said it was. Fanatic-Templar - 08/04/2012 12:43:26 AM 865 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 808 Views
No... Fanatic-Templar - 08/04/2012 07:12:22 AM 918 Views
You have no evidence that the Tuath'an are mostly comprised of runaways etc darius_sedai - 08/04/2012 05:16:54 PM 887 Views

Thanks for that. Fanatic-Templar - 09/04/2012 02:38:25 AM 647 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 847 Views
You are consistently making the same mistake. Fanatic-Templar - 09/04/2012 02:45:46 AM 689 Views
They are the same thing. The remnant of a remnant are Aiel darius_sedai - 10/04/2012 05:04:55 AM 832 Views
No. They are not. Fanatic-Templar - 10/04/2012 05:42:29 AM 737 Views
Never said the remnant of the remnant was the whole of the Aiel darius_sedai - 10/04/2012 05:45:47 PM 744 Views
You said that redefining the Aiel would allow Aviendha's vision to be possible. Fanatic-Templar - 10/04/2012 06:53:51 PM 918 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 697 Views
All of which is entirely irrelevant. Fanatic-Templar - 10/04/2012 07:38:29 PM 717 Views
Actually it states he will save a remnant of a remnant darius_sedai - 10/04/2012 07:47:04 PM 787 Views
Re: Actually it states he will save a remnant of a remnant Fanatic-Templar - 11/04/2012 01:40:36 AM 768 Views
That is what I just said darius_sedai - 14/04/2012 01:41:56 AM 733 Views
What is important about that? Fanatic-Templar - 14/04/2012 04:35:55 AM 707 Views
The importance is that the prophesy says that Rand darius_sedai - 14/04/2012 06:06:31 PM 877 Views
So what you're saying is... Fanatic-Templar - 14/04/2012 09:45:36 PM 756 Views
That's exactly it darius_sedai - 14/04/2012 11:21:25 PM 831 Views
Good. Fanatic-Templar - 15/04/2012 02:01:14 AM 850 Views
He sets it in motion, thus his actions lead to it darius_sedai - 15/04/2012 02:55:13 PM 715 Views
Yes, but in that case, he is responsible for everything, ever. Fanatic-Templar - 15/04/2012 05:29:31 PM 816 Views
We are interpreting Prophesy here ... Direct v. Indirect actions are what we are discussing darius_sedai - 15/04/2012 07:21:29 PM 717 Views
Re: We are interpreting Prophesy here ... Direct v. Indirect actions are what we are discussing DomA - 17/04/2012 04:18:32 AM 890 Views
Depends on how you look at the Prophesy darius_sedai - 18/04/2012 01:45:23 PM 666 Views
Of course, but the point of my example was... Fanatic-Templar - 17/04/2012 06:08:09 PM 702 Views
Where are you getting this happens over thousands of years? darius_sedai - 18/04/2012 01:47:42 PM 705 Views
Because that was the important part of that post. Fanatic-Templar - 18/04/2012 05:28:10 PM 832 Views
Don't know when this became about winning darius_sedai - 19/04/2012 02:08:16 AM 622 Views
