This help came in the form of water freely given, the first time since the Breaking the Aiel encountered a people who did not try to attack them or cheat them. They were helped during their journey by a tribe of people who would later become the nation of Cairhien. These two groups remained together, the violent Aiel defending the Jenn Aiel, despite their protestations, and this compound group made their way across the Spine of the World into what would become known as the Aiel Waste. Over time, more and more Aiel joined those who would kill in self-defense, even women (creating Far Dareis Mai), leaving only the Jenn Aiel to hold to the Way of the Leaf. When they returned to camp and the others found out that Lewin had killed a raider, they told the group members to hide their faces and that they were no longer Aiel because they had broken the Covenant and killed, even though they still refused to use a sword. One member of the group, Lewin, grabbed a spear while one of the raiders was attacking him and ultimately killed the raider in self-defense. While rescuing two women who had been taken by raiders, four members of this group killed in self-defense. The remaining group of Da'shain Aiel themselves split during the fourth generation of their travels. The Tuatha'an themselves, as well as most modern Aiel, have forgotten the original split. To this day, there is distrust and revulsion on the part of modern Aiel for the Tuatha'an - the Traveling People whom modern Aiel call "Lost Ones." They are allowed passage through the Aiel Waste only because the Aiel cannot bring themselves to interact with such a disgraced people. Certain members of the Aiel (who later became Tuatha'an) refused to continue the task entrusted to them by the Aes Sedai, and left in order to search for the peace they had enjoyed during the Age of Legends they call this leaving "searching for the Song".
This split took place among second generation traveling Da'shain Aiel. The first split between Aiel occurred during the Breaking of the World. Modern Aiel do not use swords, as their only purpose is to kill. They took up a spear as a weapon, as a spear can be used both for killing men as well as for other purposes. Finally, the Modern Aiel ("Dedicated") emerged. Both the Jenn and the Tuatha'an maintained the Way of the Leaf.
Next, the Tuatha'an (also known as Traveling People or Tinkers). First, the Jenn Aiel (literally, "True Dedicated" in the Old Tongue, as in, dedicated to the peace).
Some time during the Breaking of the World, however, the Da'shain Aiel began disintegrating from one people into three. The Da'shain Aiel are commanded to "keep moving, always moving until they find a place of safety", where none can harm them. For that reason, these Aiel are called by the name "People of the Dragon".Īs the world was being destroyed by male Aes Sedai (who were going mad following the strike at Shayol Ghul by the Dragon), the remaining female Aes Sedai in Paaran Disen bound the Da'shain Aiel to an oath to protect an’greal, sa'angreal, and ter'angreal and other objects from the madness of the male Aes Sedai. Da'shain Aiel served the Aes Sedai (male and female) both in the Age of Legends and during the War of Power in which the leader of the Forces of the Light was Lews Therin Telamon, the Dragon. Modern Aiel are descended from the Da'shain Aiel during the Age of Legends, who were sworn never to do violence (a philosophy known as the Way of the Leaf).
