You said that redefining the Aiel would allow Aviendha's vision to be possible. Fanatic-Templar Send a noteboard - 10/04/2012 06:53:51 PM
And then every time I've asked you to do so, you've redefined the remnant of a remnant instead. When I try to explain that you're redefining the remnant of a remnant instead of the Aiel, you insist that you're redefining the Aiel.

In fact I said the opposite. There are people like the Tuatha'an that are inclusive of the original Aiel population and those who ran away from Hold and Clan that have moved around to a variety of places. These people are not included in Aviendha's vision and could very well be who the remnant is in reference. You cannot make a blanket statement that Aviendha's vision is untrue because the remnant doesn't survive when we have no way of knowing what happened to a portion of the Aiel population.


I didn't say the REMNANT didn't survive, I've said that THE REST OF THE AIEL DO.

Take ten apples. These are the Aiel.

Take one out of those ten apples. This is the remnant of a remnant, who will be saved and who will live.

Nine apples remain. These are the Aiel who are unsaved and who will not live.

In Aviendha's vision, those nine apples show up fine, in complete defiance of the prophecy.

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
Depends on how one defines Aiel darius_sedai - 04/04/2012 04:11:11 AM 1147 Views
There are more than there were before. Fanatic-Templar - 04/04/2012 07:03:27 AM 1148 Views
But when the prophesy was made there many followers darius_sedai - 04/04/2012 10:10:54 AM 1081 Views

For the record I agree that the visions are not true either darius_sedai - 05/04/2012 02:25:47 PM 1121 Views

Yes, I was thinking of the Aiel's suicidal traditions as well. Fanatic-Templar - 05/04/2012 06:24:56 PM 1055 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 1093 Views
No... Fanatic-Templar - 08/04/2012 07:12:22 AM 1185 Views
You have no evidence that the Tuath'an are mostly comprised of runaways etc darius_sedai - 08/04/2012 05:16:54 PM 1174 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 1120 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 1180 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 939 Views
All of which is entirely irrelevant. Fanatic-Templar - 10/04/2012 07:38:29 PM 967 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 1089 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 965 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 999 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 973 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 1078 Views
Don't know when this became about winning darius_sedai - 19/04/2012 02:08:16 AM 868 Views
