[SG Faire:Aiel]: Spear Toss

[Vambram]

*The third pigeon is easily taken out by Vambram's spear*

 

Well we are really getting through these questions now. Lets try and increase both distance and accuracy when we can throw the spears again.

 

*points to where Gai'shain have been setting out markers further down the throwing plain*

 

Ok the first marker is at 100 feet. Can you hit the target?

 

Q. Where does the Aiel's use of a veil for killing originate from?

 

 

Hmm, thats a tough question, but I will take a shot at it.

 

 

*aims his spear at the first marker 100 feet from where he is standing*

 

The shoufa was originally taken up by the outcast Jenn Aiel who were forced to fight to defend their lives.

*throws his spear at the first marker*

 

 

[Ithillian Turambar]

*sees the spear easily make the distance, but fail to hit the target*

 

Sorry Vam, that is not quite right, but feel free to try again.

[Moon Sedai]

Q. Where does the Aiel's use of a veil for killing originate from?

 

 

*takes a spear and tosses it at the target*

 

The Aiel began using the viel for killing when one of the Aiel broke the Way of the Leaf to defend his clan. His parent (Mother, i think, though it could have been father) TOld him that "I don't want to see that face on a killer. I once had a son who had that face."

[Ithillian Turambar]

*sees Moon's spear easily hit the target*

 

Correct! And nice shot Moon.

 

Now let's see if anyone can hit the target at 125ft.

 

Q. What ultimatum is recited to a woman who becomes Far Dareis Mai?

[Vambram]

*takes his spear and throws it as accurately as he can at this target*

 

No Maiden of the Spear may marry, nor carry a child while she carries the spear.

[Ithillian Turambar]

*sees the spear again easily make the distance, but just miss the target*

 

Sorry Vam. I need the exact wording that is used when a woman joins the Maidens.

[Vambram]

Why didn't you say so? LOL

[Red2111]

*judges the distance, and tests the air. takes a few steps to the left and 3 steps back then gives a short running birst while flinging my spear away*

 

*as the spear takes flight, i grin at the Wetlander and calmly recite what every Aiel knows*

 

 

You may belong to no man, nor may any man belong to you, nor any child. The spear is your lover, your child, and your life.

 

 

*shakes a remaining spear* this is my husband!!

[Leelou]

Very good Red.

 

*Places the target 150 ft out with a red dot in the upper corner*

 

Let's see if you can hit the red dot.

 

Q. Why do the Aiel not use swords?

[Vambram]

*takes careful aim at the red dot in the upper corner of the target 150 feet away*

 

 

Aiel do not use swords because the only purpose for swords is for killing people.

 

 

*throws spear at the target*

[Leelou]

*watches Vam's spear clip the edge of the dot*

 

Correct. *keeps the target in the same location and places a smaller green dot on the top left of the target*

*runs out 150 yards, holds out a lemon*

 

Hit only the lemon, not my hand.

 

Q. What is the Bleakness?

[Moon Sedai]

*aims her spear at the Lemon*

 

The Bleakness refers to the attitude that set upon the Aiel after Rand revealed that they once followed the Way of the Leaf and were one with the Tinkers.

The Bleakness occured when Aiel threw down their spears or when the gai'shain decided to remain gai'shain after their year ended.

After the inital shock wore off, many of the Aiel affected by the Bleakness joined the Shaido.
