Map: A map including the Aiel Waste is available in the Guide, p. 152.

The Aiel Waste is a desert region to the east of the Spine of the World. It is bordered on the east by a mysterious land known by many names, the most common being Shara. The southern part of the Aiel Waste, just north of the Sea of Storms, is called the Termool. It is so dry, barren and desolate that not even the Aiel travel there.


Long Trek Back - by Chi Cheung and Rick Smith

The Aiel call it the Three-fold Land: a shaping stone to make them, a testing ground to prove their worth and a punishment for their sin. In their tongue, Trollocs call it Djevik K'Shar (DJEH-vihk KEH-SHAHR), "The Dying Ground."
