I didn't see it, but I think this could be a good catch RugbyPlayingAshaman Send a noteboard - 30/11/2010 10:38:56 PM
Am I the only one that immediately connected the dark prophecy at the end of the book with the state of the unnatural Ashaman and Aiel?

They're described as animated husks, not twisted versions of their former self (which is what 13x13 is supposed to do), the similarity to the description in the prophecy is striking.
And then, shall the Lord of the Evening come. And He shall take our eyes, for our souls shall bow before Him, and He shall take our skin, for our flesh shall serve Him, and He shall take our lips, for only Him will we praise.


I'm not sure, though - with the shift in writers, what could legitimately be the Dark One using a new ability to incarnate Itself into human bodies might also be Mr. Sandersons' attempt to show how someone turned by the 13 trick might look.
"Those who think they have no time for bodily exercise will sooner or later have to find time for illness."

Tarna's the only one we have a handle on moratcorlm - 01/12/2010 01:39:28 AM 897 Views
The Aiel at the end are Aiel because they have veils (which they didn't replace before killing). Joel - 01/12/2010 02:01:17 PM 673 Views
Liah didn't veil in Aridhol when she killed some Trollocs. Macharius - 01/12/2010 03:41:56 PM 908 Views
True, at that point she was essentially a feral animal. Joel - 02/12/2010 01:18:14 AM 691 Views

There's actually a pretty good chance they aren't channelers, I think. Joel - 02/12/2010 02:45:41 PM 571 Views
Whoever she had been, she was surely no Aiel, not with that pale skin and /those dark eyes./ moratcorlm - 02/12/2010 12:34:46 AM 618 Views
"An Aes Sedai, perhaps. " Joel - 02/12/2010 01:59:32 AM 536 Views
The point is it doesn't look like an Aiel moratcorlm - 02/12/2010 04:22:14 AM 580 Views
Perhaps the black eyes are due to something akin to the saa? *NM* Lord Haart - 02/12/2010 11:12:03 AM 257 Views
Makes sense if they're Dreadlords, though, in a way, that would be disappointing. Joel - 06/12/2010 02:39:54 AM 691 Views
FIFTY quatloos on the oldcomers! Joel - 02/12/2010 02:37:19 PM 742 Views
They did "ethnically cleanse" moratcorlm - 03/12/2010 07:50:24 AM 608 Views
There's no evidence to that effect; on what do you base that statement? Joel - 06/12/2010 02:14:09 AM 729 Views
No, I was being facetious about "cleansing" moratcorlm - 07/12/2010 02:55:30 PM 660 Views
I suppose that means the guys who stabbed Demira in Caemlyn were Aiel too darius_sedai - 05/12/2010 04:56:59 PM 634 Views
If these guys were trying to make it look like a failed AIel killing, they suck at it. Joel - 05/12/2010 06:10:32 PM 540 Views

Glad we're on the same page now. Joel - 06/12/2010 02:24:38 AM 705 Views
I'm not holding my breath that they are Aiel darius_sedai - 06/12/2010 08:42:11 PM 755 Views
Seriously framed comments usually prompt responses in kind. Joel - 06/12/2010 10:12:08 PM 555 Views
Just pointing out that it's been a sure sign of shenanigans when RJ pointed to something as obvious darius_sedai - 07/12/2010 03:52:46 AM 595 Views
Fair enough, but he usually made things obviously obvious. Joel - 07/12/2010 02:12:29 PM 567 Views
I thought this was what it meant. Posted about it in another thread somewhere. Bryce - 01/12/2010 03:12:19 PM 640 Views
