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 1225 Views
As far as I understand it, that future is impossible anyway. Fanatic-Templar - 03/04/2012 07:30:52 PM 960 Views
Depends on how one defines Aiel darius_sedai - 04/04/2012 04:11:11 AM 915 Views

But when the prophesy was made there many followers darius_sedai - 04/04/2012 10:10:54 AM 845 Views
The Tuatha'an are not Aiel. Fanatic-Templar - 04/04/2012 06:28:47 PM 918 Views

For the record I agree that the visions are not true either darius_sedai - 05/04/2012 02:25:47 PM 904 Views

Yes, I was thinking of the Aiel's suicidal traditions as well. Fanatic-Templar - 05/04/2012 06:24:56 PM 832 Views

Re: The Tuatha'an are not Aiel. darius_sedai - 07/04/2012 07:23:03 PM 786 Views
So what you're saying... Fanatic-Templar - 07/04/2012 10:07:59 PM 732 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 824 Views
I never said it was. Fanatic-Templar - 08/04/2012 12:43:26 AM 899 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 838 Views
No... Fanatic-Templar - 08/04/2012 07:12:22 AM 943 Views
You have no evidence that the Tuath'an are mostly comprised of runaways etc darius_sedai - 08/04/2012 05:16:54 PM 917 Views

Thanks for that. Fanatic-Templar - 09/04/2012 02:38:25 AM 662 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 877 Views
You are consistently making the same mistake. Fanatic-Templar - 09/04/2012 02:45:46 AM 723 Views
They are the same thing. The remnant of a remnant are Aiel darius_sedai - 10/04/2012 05:04:55 AM 867 Views
No. They are not. Fanatic-Templar - 10/04/2012 05:42:29 AM 765 Views
Never said the remnant of the remnant was the whole of the Aiel darius_sedai - 10/04/2012 05:45:47 PM 783 Views
You said that redefining the Aiel would allow Aviendha's vision to be possible. Fanatic-Templar - 10/04/2012 06:53:51 PM 950 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 731 Views
All of which is entirely irrelevant. Fanatic-Templar - 10/04/2012 07:38:29 PM 753 Views
Actually it states he will save a remnant of a remnant darius_sedai - 10/04/2012 07:47:04 PM 818 Views
Re: Actually it states he will save a remnant of a remnant Fanatic-Templar - 11/04/2012 01:40:36 AM 801 Views
That is what I just said darius_sedai - 14/04/2012 01:41:56 AM 766 Views
What is important about that? Fanatic-Templar - 14/04/2012 04:35:55 AM 739 Views
The importance is that the prophesy says that Rand darius_sedai - 14/04/2012 06:06:31 PM 912 Views
So what you're saying is... Fanatic-Templar - 14/04/2012 09:45:36 PM 790 Views
That's exactly it darius_sedai - 14/04/2012 11:21:25 PM 860 Views
Good. Fanatic-Templar - 15/04/2012 02:01:14 AM 882 Views
He sets it in motion, thus his actions lead to it darius_sedai - 15/04/2012 02:55:13 PM 746 Views
Yes, but in that case, he is responsible for everything, ever. Fanatic-Templar - 15/04/2012 05:29:31 PM 850 Views
We are interpreting Prophesy here ... Direct v. Indirect actions are what we are discussing darius_sedai - 15/04/2012 07:21:29 PM 742 Views
Re: We are interpreting Prophesy here ... Direct v. Indirect actions are what we are discussing DomA - 17/04/2012 04:18:32 AM 934 Views
Depends on how you look at the Prophesy darius_sedai - 18/04/2012 01:45:23 PM 695 Views
Of course, but the point of my example was... Fanatic-Templar - 17/04/2012 06:08:09 PM 734 Views
Where are you getting this happens over thousands of years? darius_sedai - 18/04/2012 01:47:42 PM 734 Views
Because that was the important part of that post. Fanatic-Templar - 18/04/2012 05:28:10 PM 864 Views
Don't know when this became about winning darius_sedai - 19/04/2012 02:08:16 AM 649 Views
