Arafel was mentioned as having "strange customs" in "The Dragon Reborn" in regards to death and honor, and I think there are a few other nuggets indicating that this nations' history is more mysterious. I don't have any solid proof, though, and this is more based upon my impressions. I also find it interesting that Narishma in particular looks like an Aiel; he has sun-darkened skin



Narishma looks nothing like an Aiel... He's got dark eyes and hair, pretty much the coloring of Alanna Mosvani. He's described as having pale skin like her, by the way. He's sun darkened because he worked outdoor. Had he been a noble or merchant, he would have the dark but nordic look of Alanna (Arafellins seem to look a bit Finnish, their coloring anyway).

Sun-darkened skin is not a genetic trait of the Aiel. They have the appearance of the ancient celts, with pale eyes (blue, grey, green) and most of them have tones of blond or red hair. They've become sun-darkened because they live in the desert.

The Tinkers have largely lost the Aiel look over the millenia because they let any who adopt the Way join them. They're mixed blood by now.

I really haven't been convinced that Callandor is important to winning Tarmon Gaidon. - 21/12/2010 04:32:18 PM 1003 Views

Yes, that's possible. Just not very clear now. - 21/12/2010 05:12:08 PM 843 Views
What's the connection between Arafel and the tinkers? - 21/12/2010 06:27:00 PM 899 Views

Yeah, it's too bad none of the Forsaken have shown any signs of being conflicted - 21/12/2010 05:13:26 PM 811 Views
Maybe the flaw in Callandor magnifying the taint will stop the DO from cutting off access to the TP *NM* - 21/12/2010 05:18:04 PM 396 Views
That would be hilarious. *NM* - 21/12/2010 05:47:55 PM 381 Views
