Fuck the Aiel and the White Tower. Go Team Seanchan! Variant Send a noteboard - 08/12/2010 09:20:44 AM
Readers seem to miss the point of Avi's vision. It's not so much about the Seanchan then it is about the Aiel. The Aiel have to find another purpose and reason for collective existence post-TG.

Quite frankly, their society simply has no place with all the new advancements that is going to happen in the next Age. If it's not the Seanchan that wipes them out, then it's going to be the Cairhienians, or Tearians, or whoever.

Aviendha's storyline got me really upset. The thing I've been worried about from the beginning was that the Seanchan would take over. I wanted them to be destroyed... at least if they weren't going to free the damane.


I'm curious, are the monarchies in Randland going to free the peasants? Are the Aiel going to free the Gai'shain? A bit of a double standard isn't it? Being upset about one type slavery and not the other.
