- Are you sure you haven't got it backwards? He's always been under the
- impression that his mother was Aiel...a maiden of the spear. In fact, his
- mother was a Maiden, but NOT an Aiel. Tigraine, daughter-heir of Andor,
- left for the Waste under the instruction of so-and-so Sedai, who had the
- Fortelling, who told her that she had to.
-
- She married an Aiel man, became pregnant with Rand, went to war against
- Cairhien and gave birth to Rand on the slopes of Dragonmount, where he was
- found by Tam al'Thor, blah blah blah...you guys know the story from there,
- sorry to lecture, just get carried away sometimes. You know how it goes.

- This raises an interesting point. House Damodred seems to have the gene
- that allows for channeling...should prove interesting to see what other
- members of the family are up to.
