- Rhuidean (RHUY-dee-ahn):
A great city
in the Aiel Waste which has been abandoned for nearly three
thousand years. Any man wanting to be a clan chief or any
woman wanting to be a Wise One must enter Rhuidean and be
tested inside a great ter'angrael deep within the city.
Men may enter only once,
women twice. Only one man in three survives his journey
to Rhuidean. The survival rate for women is considerably
higher for both visits. Its location is a secret closely
guarded by the Aiel. The prescribed penalty for a non-Aiel
entering the valley of Rhuidean is death, though some who
are favored (such as peddlers or gleemen) might simply be
stripped naked, given water skins, and allowed to attempt
to walk out of the Waste.
The city is now inhabited again by the
Aiel, and a great lake occupies one end of the valley of
Rhuidean, fed by an underground ocean of fresh water and
in turn feeding the only river in the Waste.
