Re: The Tuatha'an are not Aiel. DoraSedai Send a noteboard - 06/04/2012 10:38:24 PM
They abandoned their duties and are largely formed from wetland runaways. They are not Aiel philosophically nor genetically.


They may have abandoned their duties, but they do not use weapons.

As for there still being Jenn at the time of the prophecy, I'd say that's completely irrelevant. If you disagree, you must explain how Rand is supposed to save something that has already died out. Will he master time travel?


The "remnant of a remnant" would be that the Aiel become permanent gai'shain once again. To do no violence. A lot of gai'shain have not put off the white and will not now. They were shamed to the bone of what their ancestors have done and believe this is the only way to regain their honor.

The entire point, I believe, is to give Avienda the opportunity to change that future LadyLorraine - 03/04/2012 05:13:48 PM 1162 Views
As far as I understand it, that future is impossible anyway. Fanatic-Templar - 03/04/2012 07:30:52 PM 906 Views
Depends on how one defines Aiel darius_sedai - 04/04/2012 04:11:11 AM 859 Views
There are more than there were before. Fanatic-Templar - 04/04/2012 07:03:27 AM 878 Views
But when the prophesy was made there many followers darius_sedai - 04/04/2012 10:10:54 AM 784 Views

For the record I agree that the visions are not true either darius_sedai - 05/04/2012 02:25:47 PM 843 Views

Yes, I was thinking of the Aiel's suicidal traditions as well. Fanatic-Templar - 05/04/2012 06:24:56 PM 779 Views

So what you're saying... Fanatic-Templar - 07/04/2012 10:07:59 PM 678 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 789 Views
I never said it was. Fanatic-Templar - 08/04/2012 12:43:26 AM 844 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 780 Views
No... Fanatic-Templar - 08/04/2012 07:12:22 AM 899 Views
You have no evidence that the Tuath'an are mostly comprised of runaways etc darius_sedai - 08/04/2012 05:16:54 PM 862 Views

Thanks for that. Fanatic-Templar - 09/04/2012 02:38:25 AM 637 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 825 Views
You are consistently making the same mistake. Fanatic-Templar - 09/04/2012 02:45:46 AM 669 Views
They are the same thing. The remnant of a remnant are Aiel darius_sedai - 10/04/2012 05:04:55 AM 808 Views
No. They are not. Fanatic-Templar - 10/04/2012 05:42:29 AM 707 Views
Never said the remnant of the remnant was the whole of the Aiel darius_sedai - 10/04/2012 05:45:47 PM 714 Views
You said that redefining the Aiel would allow Aviendha's vision to be possible. Fanatic-Templar - 10/04/2012 06:53:51 PM 892 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 672 Views
All of which is entirely irrelevant. Fanatic-Templar - 10/04/2012 07:38:29 PM 683 Views
Actually it states he will save a remnant of a remnant darius_sedai - 10/04/2012 07:47:04 PM 763 Views
Re: Actually it states he will save a remnant of a remnant Fanatic-Templar - 11/04/2012 01:40:36 AM 744 Views
That is what I just said darius_sedai - 14/04/2012 01:41:56 AM 715 Views
What is important about that? Fanatic-Templar - 14/04/2012 04:35:55 AM 691 Views
The importance is that the prophesy says that Rand darius_sedai - 14/04/2012 06:06:31 PM 858 Views
So what you're saying is... Fanatic-Templar - 14/04/2012 09:45:36 PM 729 Views
That's exactly it darius_sedai - 14/04/2012 11:21:25 PM 808 Views
Good. Fanatic-Templar - 15/04/2012 02:01:14 AM 827 Views
He sets it in motion, thus his actions lead to it darius_sedai - 15/04/2012 02:55:13 PM 695 Views
Yes, but in that case, he is responsible for everything, ever. Fanatic-Templar - 15/04/2012 05:29:31 PM 794 Views
We are interpreting Prophesy here ... Direct v. Indirect actions are what we are discussing darius_sedai - 15/04/2012 07:21:29 PM 693 Views
Re: We are interpreting Prophesy here ... Direct v. Indirect actions are what we are discussing DomA - 17/04/2012 04:18:32 AM 864 Views
Depends on how you look at the Prophesy darius_sedai - 18/04/2012 01:45:23 PM 646 Views
Of course, but the point of my example was... Fanatic-Templar - 17/04/2012 06:08:09 PM 679 Views
Where are you getting this happens over thousands of years? darius_sedai - 18/04/2012 01:47:42 PM 679 Views
Because that was the important part of that post. Fanatic-Templar - 18/04/2012 05:28:10 PM 802 Views
Don't know when this became about winning darius_sedai - 19/04/2012 02:08:16 AM 601 Views
