The Battle of the Shining Walls, also called the Blood Snow, was the final conflict of the Aiel War.[1]
History[]
The Battle of the Shining Walls ended the over two year-long conflict between the Aiel and the Westlands when the King of Cairhien, who had started the war by violating the truce, was killed by the Aiel.[1]
During the battle, Tigraine Mantear, a heavily pregnant Maiden of the Spear, defeated several of the Illianer Companions, but was mortally wounded by a solider. She began to deliver a baby, and was spared by the Second Captain of the Companions, Tam al'Thor. He helped deliver her child, who was in fact the Dragon Reborn, and after she died, adopted her son as his own.[2]
