The Spine of the World is an enormous mountain range that forms the eastern border of the Westlands and separates it from the Aiel Waste. Kinslayer's Dagger juts westward into the Westlands off the Spine. The Aiel call this range the Dragonwall. There are several passes through the mountains. The Niamh Passes cross from the Aiel Waste to Shienar. The Jangai Pass crosses from the Aiel Waste into Cairhien.
