Aiel Warrior Societies While the Aiel
are divided into twelve clans, the warriors themselves are further divided into twelve different societies. These societies are the Seia Doon (Black Eyes), Duadhe Mahdi’in (Water Seekers),
Shae’en M’taal (Stone Dogs), Rahien Sorei (Dawn Runners), Sovin Nai (Knife Hands), Far Dareis Mai (Maidens of the Spear), Far Aldazar Din (Brothers of the Eagle), Hama N’dore
(Mountain Dancers) Each of these societies has its own specific customs. In some cases, societies have particular duties as well. Aethan Dor often act as a police force, Far Dareis Mai are often chosen as scouts, and Shae’en M’taal typically serve as a rear guard. Among the Aiel clans, of course, raids and battles are common. But members of the same society will not fight each other, even if their clans have a blood feud between them. This is a positive thing for the Aiel, as this means there are always open channels of communication between warring clans. |
