Well when you think about it, four is still a substantial number. DREWRULESWOT! Send a noteboard - 02/02/2010 08:05:52 AM
The Aiel had not been out of the Waste in more than 2000 years... how would they know what would be needed? Even when the Aiel left with Rand they left enough to run the infrastructure in the waste and that was with EVERY clan gone from the Waste...

To me it just doesn't make sense for only 4 to leave when its clear that honor is more important than anything to Aiel.


If four clans went, (going by the numbers in the second battle of cairhein) then they marched with a quarter million spears. That's a freagin lot. For their purposes, that should have been more than enough. Keep in mind that they didn't intend to take on every country in the wetlands. Their only goal was to kill Laman...and a quarter million spears would have been waaay more than enough to deal with anything Cairhein could throw at them.
Here's to keeping the spirit of Wotmania alive...cheers to RAFO
