scotthunt - Member Share Posted July 10, 2008 Okay. Egwene gave Aviendha a necklace which she treasures greatly. They are near-sisters. Elayne and Aviendha are sisters now. Elayne and Egwene have been friends since they were novices. Does anyone think Aviendha will become Egwene's sister through the Aiel ritual. Does anyone think Egwene and Elayne will go through the same ritual in the last book? Egwene is also admired by the Wise Ones. Oh and there is also Min who is friends with Elayne and Egwene. And is tied in with the whole loving Rand thing with Elayne an Aviendha. What do you guys think of this whole situation? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kaznen - Member Share Posted July 10, 2008 I'm more curious if Rand, Mat, and Perrin would go through the ritual. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scotthunt - Member Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 i don't think they would. 1. Rand is the Dragon Reborn and Perrin and Mat aren't entirely sure that saidin has been cleansed of the taint. 2. I think they view eachother more as friends than brothers. 3. None of them have a linkage to the Aiel to have the ritual. The girls hve Aviendha for their link to the Aiel.

RAND AL THOR - Member Share Posted July 10, 2008 I doubt there is time at all for this in AMOL. I mean, it should be possible to lift the book down from the shelf without someone else's support after all. ;D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bob T Dwarf - Member Share Posted July 10, 2008 It's likely to be a boxed two ( or more ) volume set. Take a wheelbarrow to the store. Pricey, too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RAND AL THOR - Member Share Posted July 10, 2008 It's likely to be a boxed two ( or more ) volume set. Take a wheelbarrow to the store. Pricey, too. After all this waiting I am prepared to face any price short of $ 100. Wheelbarrow? I was intending to hire a forklifter..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scotthunt - Member Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 ya i agree i guess. but hey the bigger the better ha ha. I think it might be a good way for Egwene to strengthen her relations with Aiel for her self as well as for the tower. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RAND AL THOR - Member Share Posted July 10, 2008 AS generally forsake all relations. The Amyrlin Seat having a sister may be too much for the other AS to stomach especially because first sisters are really really close. And the opportunity will likely not present itself. As for R/M/P, they are not Aiel so they will not consider such a process even necessary. Elayne did it partly to satisfy Aviendha. Would Elayne and Egwene need to do the process? No because they are both wetlanders and know that the Aiel ceremony is not exactly necessary, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Corbett - Member Share Posted July 10, 2008 The only person I could see doing this is Min to Elayne and Aviendha. It is iffy but if all three want to marry rand and they dont want to mess with even more cutoms i believe the three must all be first sisters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scotthunt - Member Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 Quick question. If Egwene was to become Aviendha's sister would this automatically make her Elayne's? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew the Great - Member Share Posted July 10, 2008 I would say yes, but the ritual makes it kind of confusing. Maybe like her sister in law or something like that. Don't the Aiel have a whole bunch of random relationships like that? i don't think they would. 1. Rand is the Dragon Reborn and Perrin and Mat aren't entirely sure that saidin has been cleansed of the taint. 2. I think they view eachother more as friends than brothers. 3. None of them have a linkage to the Aiel to have the ritual. The girls hve Aviendha for their link to the Aiel. Ummmm. Rand is Aiel. So should they desire to have the ritual, I would say that they can. That being said, I doubt that they would feel the need. It's likely to be a boxed two ( or more ) volume set. Take a wheelbarrow to the store. Pricey, too. After all this waiting I am prepared to face any price short of $ 100. Wheelbarrow? I was intending to hire a forklifter..... I have a wheelbarrow ready to go, a forklift reserved should I need it, and a small crane on standby. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spirit1025 - Member Share Posted July 10, 2008 but if all three want to marry rand and they dont want to mess with even more cutoms i believe the three must all be first sisters. I didn't think it was necessary for sister-wives (that's the right one, isn't it? Aiel are confusing...) to also be first-sisters. At least, not literal first sisters lol. If they were close enough to want to marry in that way, they would probably also naturally consider themselves as first-sisters, or in our world 'best friends'. But I don't think the ceremony to make them so is required. I could be wrong though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But for a test of the proposition, does anyone have a passage to quote about Melaine and Dorindha being joined first sisters? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EdTheBeast - Member Share Posted Tuesday at 02:52 AM I have read them all, including the prequel. Did not care for the way it ended(diff. author), but Min and Rand are the ones that end together, as Rand loses his power to win the war. Going into the sunset on a boat, REALLY? Where can they go and be safe from any power based person? Rand is a sword master, but... Loved the idea of uniting everything by those two, but always felt that poor Min's power was a curse for her, until she ends with Rand, while the others just have his kids.

Sincerely, EdTheBeast Fanfiction.net, AO3, FicWad I think you may need to re-read the ending, going into the Sunset on a boat? It finishes on the Slopes of Shayul Gul in the blasted Lands, about 3000 years since any form of Boat has been seen there. Rand was last seen by himself and with the exception of his 3 loves and maybe Cadsuane, everyone thinks his dead due to the fact they had just burnt his body. Min does not go with him at this time. As for how powerful he is, Lighting his pipe ring any bells? By the way Robert Jordan wrote the Epilogue to AMOL before he died, it was in the notes given Sanderson.
