Quote (sorry, I don't know how to use the quote function when I'm quoting from the main article and not another commenter)
Question: Rhuarc indicates that an Aiel in Rhuidean sees the past through the eyes of one of his ancestors. Is this true for the women as well? What would a non-Aiel see, if anything?
Robert Jordan: Yes, a woman would also see through the eyes of her ancestors, at least in the "forest of crystal spires" ter'angreal, and she, too, would live the history of the Aiel, in effect. Someone who wasn't Aiel could wander through those spires forever and never see a thing except the spires. He or she might think it was a monument, or maybe a work of art.
(End Quote)
My question on this is - what did Moiraine see if she isn't Aiel? Or did she not go through the columns on her trip to Rhuidean?

I love the Recluse series! Modesitt is a great author.

Beautiful artwork, as always! However, quick correction -
" Her stalking and manipulations came to a head in Rhuidean, where Moiraine famously saved Rand from her fury by tackling her, throwing her through the stone doorway ter'angreal, and trapping them both in the land of the Finns."
Didn't this happen on the docks in Cairhien? They had taken all the ter'angreal from Rhuidean across the Waste on a train of wagons.

Beautiful artwork! Only criticism is of the "Bain and Chiad" piece - the Maidens of the Spear have very short hair with only a thin tail in back, so the longer hair on one and braids on the other aren't really accurate. Also, wasn't one of them blond?
