The Tuatha'an are not Aiel. Fanatic-Templar Send a noteboard - 04/04/2012 06:28:47 PM
They abandoned their duties and are largely formed from wetland runaways. They are not Aiel philosophically nor genetically.

As for there still being Jenn at the time of the prophecy, I'd say that's completely irrelevant. If you disagree, you must explain how Rand is supposed to save something that has already died out. Will he master time travel?

The entire point, I believe, is to give Avienda the opportunity to change that future LadyLorraine - 03/04/2012 05:13:48 PM 1571 Views
As far as I understand it, that future is impossible anyway. Fanatic-Templar - 03/04/2012 07:30:52 PM 1189 Views
Depends on how one defines Aiel darius_sedai - 04/04/2012 04:11:11 AM 1161 Views
There are more than there were before. Fanatic-Templar - 04/04/2012 07:03:27 AM 1166 Views
But when the prophesy was made there many followers darius_sedai - 04/04/2012 10:10:54 AM 1091 Views

For the record I agree that the visions are not true either darius_sedai - 05/04/2012 02:25:47 PM 1138 Views

Yes, I was thinking of the Aiel's suicidal traditions as well. Fanatic-Templar - 05/04/2012 06:24:56 PM 1072 Views

Re: The Tuatha'an are not Aiel. darius_sedai - 07/04/2012 07:23:03 PM 1018 Views
So what you're saying... Fanatic-Templar - 07/04/2012 10:07:59 PM 949 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 1063 Views
I never said it was. Fanatic-Templar - 08/04/2012 12:43:26 AM 1170 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 1109 Views
No... Fanatic-Templar - 08/04/2012 07:12:22 AM 1202 Views
You have no evidence that the Tuath'an are mostly comprised of runaways etc darius_sedai - 08/04/2012 05:16:54 PM 1185 Views

Thanks for that. Fanatic-Templar - 09/04/2012 02:38:25 AM 880 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 1091 Views
You are consistently making the same mistake. Fanatic-Templar - 09/04/2012 02:45:46 AM 970 Views
They are the same thing. The remnant of a remnant are Aiel darius_sedai - 10/04/2012 05:04:55 AM 1136 Views
No. They are not. Fanatic-Templar - 10/04/2012 05:42:29 AM 992 Views
Never said the remnant of the remnant was the whole of the Aiel darius_sedai - 10/04/2012 05:45:47 PM 1012 Views
You said that redefining the Aiel would allow Aviendha's vision to be possible. Fanatic-Templar - 10/04/2012 06:53:51 PM 1198 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 954 Views
All of which is entirely irrelevant. Fanatic-Templar - 10/04/2012 07:38:29 PM 978 Views
Actually it states he will save a remnant of a remnant darius_sedai - 10/04/2012 07:47:04 PM 1038 Views
Re: Actually it states he will save a remnant of a remnant Fanatic-Templar - 11/04/2012 01:40:36 AM 1059 Views
That is what I just said darius_sedai - 14/04/2012 01:41:56 AM 1012 Views
What is important about that? Fanatic-Templar - 14/04/2012 04:35:55 AM 984 Views
The importance is that the prophesy says that Rand darius_sedai - 14/04/2012 06:06:31 PM 1143 Views
So what you're saying is... Fanatic-Templar - 14/04/2012 09:45:36 PM 1051 Views
That's exactly it darius_sedai - 14/04/2012 11:21:25 PM 1101 Views
Good. Fanatic-Templar - 15/04/2012 02:01:14 AM 1131 Views
He sets it in motion, thus his actions lead to it darius_sedai - 15/04/2012 02:55:13 PM 978 Views
Yes, but in that case, he is responsible for everything, ever. Fanatic-Templar - 15/04/2012 05:29:31 PM 1066 Views
We are interpreting Prophesy here ... Direct v. Indirect actions are what we are discussing darius_sedai - 15/04/2012 07:21:29 PM 1023 Views

Depends on how you look at the Prophesy darius_sedai - 18/04/2012 01:45:23 PM 948 Views
Of course, but the point of my example was... Fanatic-Templar - 17/04/2012 06:08:09 PM 987 Views
Where are you getting this happens over thousands of years? darius_sedai - 18/04/2012 01:47:42 PM 928 Views
Because that was the important part of that post. Fanatic-Templar - 18/04/2012 05:28:10 PM 1088 Views
Don't know when this became about winning darius_sedai - 19/04/2012 02:08:16 AM 883 Views
