The importance is that the prophesy says that Rand darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 14/04/2012 06:06:31 PM
No one thinks the remnant of a remnant will die ...


The relevant part is that it contrasts the remnant of the remnant with the rest of the Aiel. If the remnant is distinct in that they shall live, then what do you think that makes the others?


Will SAVE THEM ... Not that they will survive or that they will be the ONLY survivors Rand saves, only that a remnant of the Aiel will be part of those he saves. The rest will obviously die out, but that does not mean they will die immediately following TG. We heard Aviendha's vision speak of the "Peace of the Dragon" and we then saw the Aiel of the Waste break that peace and ultimately die out. There is no mention at all of possible people who honored the Peace (i.e. went back to The Way) and thus represent the remnant spoken of in the Prophesy. In short I am saying it is possible that the remnant of the Aiel in the Prophesy will go on to be part of a new larger group who honor the Peace of the Dragon and are in essence the "reborn Aiel".

Aviendha, the columns, and the Seanchan DoraSedai - 03/04/2012 04:29:31 PM 1957 Views
The entire point, I believe, is to give Avienda the opportunity to change that future LadyLorraine - 03/04/2012 05:13:48 PM 1245 Views
As far as I understand it, that future is impossible anyway. Fanatic-Templar - 03/04/2012 07:30:52 PM 975 Views
Depends on how one defines Aiel darius_sedai - 04/04/2012 04:11:11 AM 934 Views
There are more than there were before. Fanatic-Templar - 04/04/2012 07:03:27 AM 942 Views
But when the prophesy was made there many followers darius_sedai - 04/04/2012 10:10:54 AM 860 Views

For the record I agree that the visions are not true either darius_sedai - 05/04/2012 02:25:47 PM 927 Views

Yes, I was thinking of the Aiel's suicidal traditions as well. Fanatic-Templar - 05/04/2012 06:24:56 PM 849 Views

So what you're saying... Fanatic-Templar - 07/04/2012 10:07:59 PM 752 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 844 Views
I never said it was. Fanatic-Templar - 08/04/2012 12:43:26 AM 920 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 856 Views
No... Fanatic-Templar - 08/04/2012 07:12:22 AM 963 Views
You have no evidence that the Tuath'an are mostly comprised of runaways etc darius_sedai - 08/04/2012 05:16:54 PM 936 Views

Thanks for that. Fanatic-Templar - 09/04/2012 02:38:25 AM 679 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 891 Views
You are consistently making the same mistake. Fanatic-Templar - 09/04/2012 02:45:46 AM 744 Views
They are the same thing. The remnant of a remnant are Aiel darius_sedai - 10/04/2012 05:04:55 AM 890 Views
No. They are not. Fanatic-Templar - 10/04/2012 05:42:29 AM 785 Views
Never said the remnant of the remnant was the whole of the Aiel darius_sedai - 10/04/2012 05:45:47 PM 802 Views
You said that redefining the Aiel would allow Aviendha's vision to be possible. Fanatic-Templar - 10/04/2012 06:53:51 PM 971 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 751 Views
All of which is entirely irrelevant. Fanatic-Templar - 10/04/2012 07:38:29 PM 770 Views
Actually it states he will save a remnant of a remnant darius_sedai - 10/04/2012 07:47:04 PM 838 Views

That is what I just said darius_sedai - 14/04/2012 01:41:56 AM 785 Views
What is important about that? Fanatic-Templar - 14/04/2012 04:35:55 AM 756 Views
The importance is that the prophesy says that Rand darius_sedai - 14/04/2012 06:06:31 PM 933 Views
So what you're saying is... Fanatic-Templar - 14/04/2012 09:45:36 PM 808 Views
That's exactly it darius_sedai - 14/04/2012 11:21:25 PM 875 Views
Good. Fanatic-Templar - 15/04/2012 02:01:14 AM 902 Views
He sets it in motion, thus his actions lead to it darius_sedai - 15/04/2012 02:55:13 PM 765 Views
Yes, but in that case, he is responsible for everything, ever. Fanatic-Templar - 15/04/2012 05:29:31 PM 870 Views
We are interpreting Prophesy here ... Direct v. Indirect actions are what we are discussing darius_sedai - 15/04/2012 07:21:29 PM 760 Views

Depends on how you look at the Prophesy darius_sedai - 18/04/2012 01:45:23 PM 714 Views
Of course, but the point of my example was... Fanatic-Templar - 17/04/2012 06:08:09 PM 749 Views
Where are you getting this happens over thousands of years? darius_sedai - 18/04/2012 01:47:42 PM 753 Views
Because that was the important part of that post. Fanatic-Templar - 18/04/2012 05:28:10 PM 880 Views
