Join the Black Tower Podcast as we journey to the Three-fold Land for a deep dive into two of the most formidable and fascinating Aiel: Bain and Chiad.

From their origins in Robert Jordan’s legendary Wheel of Time series to their fierce presence in the Amazon Prime adaptation, we explore the heart of their bond — a sisterhood forged in battle, loyalty, and honor. Discover their cultural roots, their relationships with key characters, and how their portrayals differ (or align) between page and screen.

Whether you’re a die-hard fan of the books, a new recruit to the TV show, or just love strong, complex characters, this episode will give you fresh insight into two of the Aiel’s most unforgettable Maidens of the Spear.
