Re: Actually it states he will save a remnant of a remnant Fanatic-Templar Send a noteboard - 11/04/2012 01:40:36 AM
The second statement is an active not a passive statement. It does not say "a remnant of a remnant will survive being broken"


"He shall spill out the blood of those who call themselves Aiel as water on sand, and he shall break them as dried twigs, yet the remnant of a remnant shall he save, and they shall live."
The first rule of being a ninja is "do no harm". Unless you intend to do harm, then do lots of harm.

The entire point, I believe, is to give Avienda the opportunity to change that future LadyLorraine - 03/04/2012 05:13:48 PM 1633 Views
As far as I understand it, that future is impossible anyway. Fanatic-Templar - 03/04/2012 07:30:52 PM 1263 Views
Depends on how one defines Aiel darius_sedai - 04/04/2012 04:11:11 AM 1228 Views
There are more than there were before. Fanatic-Templar - 04/04/2012 07:03:27 AM 1217 Views
But when the prophesy was made there many followers darius_sedai - 04/04/2012 10:10:54 AM 1158 Views

For the record I agree that the visions are not true either darius_sedai - 05/04/2012 02:25:47 PM 1202 Views

Yes, I was thinking of the Aiel's suicidal traditions as well. Fanatic-Templar - 05/04/2012 06:24:56 PM 1134 Views

So what you're saying... Fanatic-Templar - 07/04/2012 10:07:59 PM 1018 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 1138 Views
I never said it was. Fanatic-Templar - 08/04/2012 12:43:26 AM 1242 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 1171 Views
No... Fanatic-Templar - 08/04/2012 07:12:22 AM 1273 Views
You have no evidence that the Tuath'an are mostly comprised of runaways etc darius_sedai - 08/04/2012 05:16:54 PM 1263 Views

Thanks for that. Fanatic-Templar - 09/04/2012 02:38:25 AM 940 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 1165 Views
You are consistently making the same mistake. Fanatic-Templar - 09/04/2012 02:45:46 AM 1051 Views
They are the same thing. The remnant of a remnant are Aiel darius_sedai - 10/04/2012 05:04:55 AM 1205 Views
No. They are not. Fanatic-Templar - 10/04/2012 05:42:29 AM 1073 Views
Never said the remnant of the remnant was the whole of the Aiel darius_sedai - 10/04/2012 05:45:47 PM 1076 Views
You said that redefining the Aiel would allow Aviendha's vision to be possible. Fanatic-Templar - 10/04/2012 06:53:51 PM 1272 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 1015 Views
All of which is entirely irrelevant. Fanatic-Templar - 10/04/2012 07:38:29 PM 1064 Views

Re: Actually it states he will save a remnant of a remnant Fanatic-Templar - 11/04/2012 01:40:36 AM 1121 Views
That is what I just said darius_sedai - 14/04/2012 01:41:56 AM 1084 Views
What is important about that? Fanatic-Templar - 14/04/2012 04:35:55 AM 1047 Views
The importance is that the prophesy says that Rand darius_sedai - 14/04/2012 06:06:31 PM 1215 Views
So what you're saying is... Fanatic-Templar - 14/04/2012 09:45:36 PM 1118 Views
That's exactly it darius_sedai - 14/04/2012 11:21:25 PM 1170 Views
Good. Fanatic-Templar - 15/04/2012 02:01:14 AM 1189 Views
He sets it in motion, thus his actions lead to it darius_sedai - 15/04/2012 02:55:13 PM 1068 Views
Yes, but in that case, he is responsible for everything, ever. Fanatic-Templar - 15/04/2012 05:29:31 PM 1125 Views
We are interpreting Prophesy here ... Direct v. Indirect actions are what we are discussing darius_sedai - 15/04/2012 07:21:29 PM 1095 Views
Re: We are interpreting Prophesy here ... Direct v. Indirect actions are what we are discussing DomA - 17/04/2012 04:18:32 AM 1288 Views
Depends on how you look at the Prophesy darius_sedai - 18/04/2012 01:45:23 PM 1006 Views
Of course, but the point of my example was... Fanatic-Templar - 17/04/2012 06:08:09 PM 1052 Views
Where are you getting this happens over thousands of years? darius_sedai - 18/04/2012 01:47:42 PM 984 Views
Because that was the important part of that post. Fanatic-Templar - 18/04/2012 05:28:10 PM 1171 Views
Don't know when this became about winning darius_sedai - 19/04/2012 02:08:16 AM 944 Views
