For the writ, see
ayel. In
Robert Jordan's
fantasy series
The Wheel of Time, the Aiel are a race of people. They live between the "wetlanders" in the west and the Sharans in the east, in a desert which the Aiel call The Three-fold Land and which everyone else calls the
Aiel Waste. They have earned a reputation as skilled warriors; little else is known about them in the wider world. Aiel can be recognized through their height, characteristic pale eyes, and red or blond hair. Physically, they are reminiscent of the
Celts; culturally, of
Native Americans,
Frank Herbert's fictional
Fremen, and to some extent the people of feudal Japan. Their short spears with sword-like blades, their three-pronged encircling tactics, their outrunning of horses, and their washing of spears in blood are all derived from the
Impi warriors of the
Zulu. Their division into
clans and
septs--with fierce loyalty--mirrors
Scotland.
