Depends on how one defines Aiel darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 04/04/2012 04:11:11 AM
Prophecies of confirmed accuracy tell us that the Aiel will be reduced to a remnant of a remnant by Rand, but Aviendha's vision has at its core problem that the Aiel are too plentiful and powerful, and therefore got bored.


What we don't see in Aviendha's vision is any remnant of the Aiel who go back to The Way of The Leaf ... By definition these are the true Aiel.

The entire point, I believe, is to give Avienda the opportunity to change that future LadyLorraine - 03/04/2012 05:13:48 PM 1546 Views
As far as I understand it, that future is impossible anyway. Fanatic-Templar - 03/04/2012 07:30:52 PM 1177 Views

There are more than there were before. Fanatic-Templar - 04/04/2012 07:03:27 AM 1147 Views
But when the prophesy was made there many followers darius_sedai - 04/04/2012 10:10:54 AM 1080 Views
The Tuatha'an are not Aiel. Fanatic-Templar - 04/04/2012 06:28:47 PM 1167 Views

For the record I agree that the visions are not true either darius_sedai - 05/04/2012 02:25:47 PM 1120 Views

Yes, I was thinking of the Aiel's suicidal traditions as well. Fanatic-Templar - 05/04/2012 06:24:56 PM 1053 Views

So what you're saying... Fanatic-Templar - 07/04/2012 10:07:59 PM 940 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 1052 Views
I never said it was. Fanatic-Templar - 08/04/2012 12:43:26 AM 1149 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 1092 Views
No... Fanatic-Templar - 08/04/2012 07:12:22 AM 1184 Views
You have no evidence that the Tuath'an are mostly comprised of runaways etc darius_sedai - 08/04/2012 05:16:54 PM 1173 Views

Thanks for that. Fanatic-Templar - 09/04/2012 02:38:25 AM 865 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 1078 Views
You are consistently making the same mistake. Fanatic-Templar - 09/04/2012 02:45:46 AM 958 Views
They are the same thing. The remnant of a remnant are Aiel darius_sedai - 10/04/2012 05:04:55 AM 1119 Views
No. They are not. Fanatic-Templar - 10/04/2012 05:42:29 AM 983 Views
Never said the remnant of the remnant was the whole of the Aiel darius_sedai - 10/04/2012 05:45:47 PM 997 Views
You said that redefining the Aiel would allow Aviendha's vision to be possible. Fanatic-Templar - 10/04/2012 06:53:51 PM 1179 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 938 Views
All of which is entirely irrelevant. Fanatic-Templar - 10/04/2012 07:38:29 PM 965 Views
Actually it states he will save a remnant of a remnant darius_sedai - 10/04/2012 07:47:04 PM 1029 Views
Re: Actually it states he will save a remnant of a remnant Fanatic-Templar - 11/04/2012 01:40:36 AM 1043 Views
That is what I just said darius_sedai - 14/04/2012 01:41:56 AM 1001 Views
What is important about that? Fanatic-Templar - 14/04/2012 04:35:55 AM 968 Views
The importance is that the prophesy says that Rand darius_sedai - 14/04/2012 06:06:31 PM 1134 Views
So what you're saying is... Fanatic-Templar - 14/04/2012 09:45:36 PM 1034 Views
That's exactly it darius_sedai - 14/04/2012 11:21:25 PM 1087 Views
Good. Fanatic-Templar - 15/04/2012 02:01:14 AM 1117 Views
He sets it in motion, thus his actions lead to it darius_sedai - 15/04/2012 02:55:13 PM 964 Views
Yes, but in that case, he is responsible for everything, ever. Fanatic-Templar - 15/04/2012 05:29:31 PM 1049 Views
We are interpreting Prophesy here ... Direct v. Indirect actions are what we are discussing darius_sedai - 15/04/2012 07:21:29 PM 997 Views

Depends on how you look at the Prophesy darius_sedai - 18/04/2012 01:45:23 PM 934 Views
Of course, but the point of my example was... Fanatic-Templar - 17/04/2012 06:08:09 PM 972 Views
Where are you getting this happens over thousands of years? darius_sedai - 18/04/2012 01:47:42 PM 917 Views
Because that was the important part of that post. Fanatic-Templar - 18/04/2012 05:28:10 PM 1077 Views
Don't know when this became about winning darius_sedai - 19/04/2012 02:08:16 AM 868 Views
