Prophecy of Rhuidean

==Description==
The Prophecy of Rhuidean, the Aiel Prophecy, tells of the coming of the car'a'carn, the chief of chiefs, and He Who Comes With The Dawn. The prophecy is a compilation of foretellings and dreams by Wise Women. This man is destined to unite, destroy, and save a remnant of the Aiel. 
==Prophecy==
==Fulfillment==
===Stone that never falls===
*The fall of the Stone of Tear
===The blood===
*Janduin provides the blood link to the Aiel 
*Shaiel provides the link to the 'old blood', the people in the westlands before the Aiel crossed the Dragonwall. 
*Tamlin al'Thor, of ancient blood of Manetheren raises Rand
===He will come from the west===
*beyond the Spine of the World
*beyond the Dragonwall
===He Who Comes With The Dawn===
*Rand will return from Rhuidean after seven days and approach the Aiel encampment at dawn. 
===Bonds you cannot break===
*The Aiel existence around Ji'e'toh forces them to follow Rand for their own honor. Also, he unites the eleven clans into an Aiel nation before they cross the Dragonwall.
===He will take you back, and he will destroy you===
*He leads the united Aiel across the Dragonwall in order to pursue the Shaido and with a mission to unite the nations under him before the Last Battle.
*Rand reveals the secret hidden within Rhuidean, that the Aiel were originally called Da'shain Aiel and followed the Way of the Leaf
*The Pattern weaves events that lead to the near annihilation of the Shaido against Rand, Perrin, and the Seanchan after they reject him as the car'a'carn.
* When the Aiel were included in The Dragon's Peace, they were forbidden to fight each other. By taking war out of the Aiel life, the Peace has completely destroyed the 'old' Aiel, and replaced it by the 'new', more peaceful, Aiel. This might be a symbolic interpretation of the foreseen destruction.
===A remnant of a remnant shall he save, and they shall live===
* This may refer to the future that Aviendha saw upon her second trip through the glass column ter'angreal in Rhuidean, in which her descendants lost their honor and their identity as Aiel as they fought the Seanchan, until eventually only a handful of feral people remained. This was subverted by her interaction with the ter'angreal, and possibly precipitated by her interaction with Nakomi. It was also subverted when Aviendha was instructed to change the name of one of her future children in order to prove that the future she saw could be changed.
