You are consistently making the same mistake. Fanatic-Templar Send a noteboard - 09/04/2012 02:45:46 AM
i think the Aiel who will survive as the remnant will be those that accept the true heritage of the Aiel.


Nobody has argued against that possibility. As I discussed with DomA, it is in fact most probable that it will play a significant part.

The issue, if you will recall, is that I claimed that the fact that the Aiel were not destroyed in Aviendha's vision meant that it was impossible according to more reliable prophecies. You claimed that alternate definitions of the Aiel could render this possible.

Since then, I've been trying to get you to provide a definition of the Aiel that makes this possible. But you haven't. Every time it comes down to it, you are redefining the "remnant of a remnant", not the "Aiel".

The prophecy contains two parts: A remnant of a remnant of those who call themselves Aiel will be destroyed, and the rest of them will be destroyed. If you can redefine Aiel in a way that is both consistent with Aviendha's vision and with both parts of this prophecy, feel free to do so.

As far as I understand it, that future is impossible anyway. - 03/04/2012 07:30:52 PM 1035 Views
Depends on how one defines Aiel - 04/04/2012 04:11:11 AM 988 Views

Yes, I was thinking of the Aiel's suicidal traditions as well. - 05/04/2012 06:24:56 PM 901 Views

So what you're saying... - 07/04/2012 10:07:59 PM 799 Views
What I am saying is that it's not a "pure bloodline" that makes one an Aiel - 08/04/2012 12:16:10 AM 902 Views
I never said it was. - 08/04/2012 12:43:26 AM 970 Views

They are the same thing. The remnant of a remnant are Aiel - 10/04/2012 05:04:55 AM 938 Views
No. They are not. - 10/04/2012 05:42:29 AM 829 Views
Never said the remnant of the remnant was the whole of the Aiel - 10/04/2012 05:45:47 PM 849 Views
You said that redefining the Aiel would allow Aviendha's vision to be possible. - 10/04/2012 06:53:51 PM 1028 Views
No , I said there were many ways to interpret the statement based on how one defines Aiel - 10/04/2012 07:36:11 PM 798 Views
All of which is entirely irrelevant. - 10/04/2012 07:38:29 PM 817 Views
