That's exactly it darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 14/04/2012 11:21:25 PM
... that if people die thousands of years after Rand's time, because of decisions made by people who lived long after his death, it's Rand's fault? Do you think the remnant of a remnant will live eternally then?


Honestly. Descendants happen when your people survive.

I'm referring to the possibility that the Remnant are a deliberately chosen group of people (as in SAVED). What happens to those who do not choose to follow the Dragon's Peace looks to be extinction. Their death is not the fault of the Dragon. It looks to be the fault of their choice to continue to deny their heritage as followers of The Way. Just as these people die in war the remnant and their descendants will live and thrive assuming they accept the Peace and stand aside from the war. This is not a difficult concept to understand.

But just in case, let's recap. Prophesy says the Aiel will be broken and destroyed EXCEPT for the remnant Rand will save. Aviendha's vision showed a large group of Aiel dying out due to fighting a war they could not win. This does not go against the Prophesy, as long as there are a remnant of the Aiel who do not participate in the war. If that remnant was saved by Rand (presumably because the chose to go back to The Way) then we have a viable reason Aviendha's vision is not false.

The entire point, I believe, is to give Avienda the opportunity to change that future LadyLorraine - 03/04/2012 05:13:48 PM 1139 Views
As far as I understand it, that future is impossible anyway. Fanatic-Templar - 03/04/2012 07:30:52 PM 897 Views
Depends on how one defines Aiel darius_sedai - 04/04/2012 04:11:11 AM 842 Views
There are more than there were before. Fanatic-Templar - 04/04/2012 07:03:27 AM 863 Views
But when the prophesy was made there many followers darius_sedai - 04/04/2012 10:10:54 AM 768 Views

For the record I agree that the visions are not true either darius_sedai - 05/04/2012 02:25:47 PM 832 Views

Yes, I was thinking of the Aiel's suicidal traditions as well. Fanatic-Templar - 05/04/2012 06:24:56 PM 766 Views

So what you're saying... Fanatic-Templar - 07/04/2012 10:07:59 PM 665 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 774 Views
I never said it was. Fanatic-Templar - 08/04/2012 12:43:26 AM 833 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 768 Views
No... Fanatic-Templar - 08/04/2012 07:12:22 AM 884 Views
You have no evidence that the Tuath'an are mostly comprised of runaways etc darius_sedai - 08/04/2012 05:16:54 PM 846 Views

Thanks for that. Fanatic-Templar - 09/04/2012 02:38:25 AM 626 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 812 Views
You are consistently making the same mistake. Fanatic-Templar - 09/04/2012 02:45:46 AM 657 Views
They are the same thing. The remnant of a remnant are Aiel darius_sedai - 10/04/2012 05:04:55 AM 797 Views
No. They are not. Fanatic-Templar - 10/04/2012 05:42:29 AM 691 Views
Never said the remnant of the remnant was the whole of the Aiel darius_sedai - 10/04/2012 05:45:47 PM 698 Views
You said that redefining the Aiel would allow Aviendha's vision to be possible. Fanatic-Templar - 10/04/2012 06:53:51 PM 879 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 657 Views
All of which is entirely irrelevant. Fanatic-Templar - 10/04/2012 07:38:29 PM 668 Views
Actually it states he will save a remnant of a remnant darius_sedai - 10/04/2012 07:47:04 PM 746 Views
Re: Actually it states he will save a remnant of a remnant Fanatic-Templar - 11/04/2012 01:40:36 AM 728 Views
That is what I just said darius_sedai - 14/04/2012 01:41:56 AM 698 Views
What is important about that? Fanatic-Templar - 14/04/2012 04:35:55 AM 675 Views
The importance is that the prophesy says that Rand darius_sedai - 14/04/2012 06:06:31 PM 845 Views
So what you're saying is... Fanatic-Templar - 14/04/2012 09:45:36 PM 710 Views
That's exactly it darius_sedai - 14/04/2012 11:21:25 PM 793 Views
Good. Fanatic-Templar - 15/04/2012 02:01:14 AM 810 Views
He sets it in motion, thus his actions lead to it darius_sedai - 15/04/2012 02:55:13 PM 682 Views
Yes, but in that case, he is responsible for everything, ever. Fanatic-Templar - 15/04/2012 05:29:31 PM 774 Views
We are interpreting Prophesy here ... Direct v. Indirect actions are what we are discussing darius_sedai - 15/04/2012 07:21:29 PM 681 Views

Depends on how you look at the Prophesy darius_sedai - 18/04/2012 01:45:23 PM 633 Views
Of course, but the point of my example was... Fanatic-Templar - 17/04/2012 06:08:09 PM 664 Views
Where are you getting this happens over thousands of years? darius_sedai - 18/04/2012 01:47:42 PM 667 Views
Because that was the important part of that post. Fanatic-Templar - 18/04/2012 05:28:10 PM 792 Views
