The Taardad are one of the twelve Aiel clans. Their clan hold is Cold Rocks Hold. The Taardad are the staunchest of Rand’s supporters, sending 15,000 of their spears with Rand as he travels to Alcair Dal. They are not friendly with the Shaido Aiel, finding them shifty and underhanded. They were one of the four clans to cross the Dragonwall during the Aiel War. They were led by Janduin during the Aiel War.
