In all my many read-throughs of all the posts on here this is the best one I have read so far. No offense Luckers but the Unseen Eyes has never caught me the way this theory has. Keep up the good work regardless, I still can't find anything else to compete for BUT status.

Also, I would love for Moridin to be redeemed, he is too awesome of a character to lose during TG.

Okay, I'm new to the forums here, and the reason for that is this question. After weeks of digging and digging in other forums, I cam to this one to ask this one thing cause its been bugging me for weeks and I have yet to receive or find any kind of answer.

 

What I am wanting to know is why are blacksmiths so valued to the Aiel, and why are they not allowed to be made gai'shain. Yeah, I know they are valued cause they make the weapons and blah blah blah. But what about the bowmakers and the fletchers. Those are weapons as well, and it seems that every warrior has a bow and each clan has their own style of arrows, so reason would say that they have a set person/people to make those weapons.

 

Basicly what I am saying is that there has to be more to the Aiel Blacksmith than I have been able to figure out, and I was just wondering if anyone could fill in the gaps that I am missing...

I would think that it is because they don't have a lot of wood in the waste, so many things normally made of wood are made of metal.
