any one know the roles of all the aiel societies

[scott]

so we know maidens are used as scouts and red shields as police but what about the rest do thunder walkers have a certain role or water seekers

[Samuel]

I don't think it's ever explicitly stated. The names might give hints (Water Seekers, scouts?).

[Leatherleaf]

Stone Dogs act as rear guards, and other societies make fun of their stubbornness.

[Bela_theDo]

Seia Doon as searching for ji ? I got some hints in the series that it might be like that.

[ravenfier]

Black Eyes- put people to the question

Far deris mai- scouts

Stone dogs- rear gaurd

Red shields- the police force

 

 

well thats confirmation of 4 of the 12, lol. the rest we can only speculate.

[Beer Rot]

Considering 'siswai' is the old tongue word for spear, I wonder what Far Dareis Mai translates to directly.
