... that if people die thousands of years after Rand's time, because of decisions made by people who lived long after his death, it's Rand's fault? Do you think the remnant of a remnant will live eternally then?
Honestly. Descendants happen when your people survive.
I'm referring to the possibility that the Remnant are a deliberately chosen group of people (as in SAVED). What happens to those who do not choose to follow the Dragon's Peace looks to be extinction. Their death is not the fault of the Dragon. It looks to be the fault of their choice to continue to deny their heritage as followers of The Way. Just as these people die in war the remnant and their descendants will live and thrive assuming they accept the Peace and stand aside from the war. This is not a difficult concept to understand.
But just in case, let's recap. Prophesy says the Aiel will be broken and destroyed EXCEPT for the remnant Rand will save. Aviendha's vision showed a large group of Aiel dying out due to fighting a war they could not win. This does not go against the Prophesy, as long as there are a remnant of the Aiel who do not participate in the war. If that remnant was saved by Rand (presumably because the chose to go back to The Way) then we have a viable reason Aviendha's vision is not false.
