I love your take on Min, but I think you reversed the hair colors on Avienda (sp?) and Elayne Trakand...

I don't think so. I read the book MANY times and looked in the illustrated guide. I thought Aiel were all redhead... but from my take on them, they are like vikings... blond and red-heads. The illustrated guide definately portrays Aviendha as blond and Elayne as redhead. But thanks for the comment!

Hmm. It's been a few years, but I was fairly certain Elayne was depicted as having a mane of golden hair - in fact, until Rand met the Aiel, red hair was extremely rare, and one of the reasons he stood out so well... Again, it's been a while, but I think you are right about Aviendha, but I suspect the artist in the illustrated guide screwed up on Elayne.. ;-)

That's possible... I'll have to go back to the first book when Rand falls over the palace wall and meets Elayne.

Aiel dressed in arabic style garb not viking stuff. They are desert nomads. I think RJ gets paid by the word... how long can he drag out a story that should have been over already :) 9+ and counting. Imaginos
