About: Laman Damodred   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

King Laman chose to cut down the 500-year-old chora tree given to Cairhien by the Aiel to make a throne for himself. This act, often referred to as 'Laman's Pride' or 'Laman's Sin', brought great numbers of Aiel over the Spine of the World and precipitated the Aiel War which ended with Laman's death on Danu 1, 978 NE. Presumably the Aiel are responsible for his demise; although confirmation of this is never given, few other alternatives remain. Laman's brothers Moressin and Aldecain also died.

  • King Laman chose to cut down the 500-year-old chora tree given to Cairhien by the Aiel to make a throne for himself. This act, often referred to as 'Laman's Pride' or 'Laman's Sin', brought great numbers of Aiel over the Spine of the World and precipitated the Aiel War which ended with Laman's death on Danu 1, 978 NE. Presumably the Aiel are responsible for his demise; although confirmation of this is never given, few other alternatives remain. Laman's brothers Moressin and Aldecain also died. Even today, Aiel are distrusting of the Cairhienin, referring to them as "treekillers" and "oathbreakers". The feeling is quite mutual, considering the slaughter caused by the Aiel as they cut their way to King Laman. The Aiel kept Laman's sword as a trophy. It was a very rich sword, with an ivory hilt, and a gold pommel encrusted with gemstones - a Power-wrought blade refitted for ostentation, not for combat. The sword itself would pass through several owners until decades later, when Aviendha acquired it and offered it to Rand al'Thor thinking to free herself of the toh she incurred when Rand innocently gave her a bracelet as a gift. Rand accepted the heron marked blade itself, but chose to let Aviendha keep the impractical and gaudy scabbard and hilt including all the gems.
