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.
