One thingwe do know about time of year 3 ofThe Wheel of Timeis that it will useThe Shadow Risingas the basis of its plot , but many of the change the Prime Video serial has made from the volume have resulted in gaps in the timeline or lacking events that may yet have repercussions we can not know . But thanks to the laggard , it ’s clear that the next chapter in Prime Video ’s adaptation ofRobert Jordan’sWheel of Timebookswill adapt a number of memorable plot line from the rootage material .
12Rand’s Arrival at Rhuidean
The Shadow Rising, Chapter 24
The trailer intelligibly shows Rand at the head of a motley group of Aiel and a fair sex in a sunlight chapeau ( likely Moiraine ) , star down at the cloud - shrouded ruin of the consecrated city Rhuidean . While inThe Shadow Rising , Rand enter the city proper with only Mat for company , as a rare exclusion to the rule that only shoot for Aiel clan chief or Wise Ones could enter the city , this bit may only represent Rand ’s first batch of the city and not him enter it .
11Conflict With the Shaido
The Shadow Rising, Chapter 57
The Shaido are one of the twelve Aiel clans , and throughout the books are openly antagonistic towards Rand to the point in time of essay to forestall his entering Rhuidean . Once Rand is proclaimed the Car’a’carn – the prophesied leader of the Aiel – the Shaido reject him and flee the Three - Fold Land . They lift up being manipulated by Sammael , one of the13 Forsaken inThe Wheel of Time , who uses their rage and ambition to his reward as the Shaido begin to spread pandemonium across the Westlands .
10Moiraine Duels Lanfear
The Fires of Heaven, Chapter 52
After the events in the Aiel Waste , Rand and party stopped in Cairhien before move on to Caemlyn . There , thanks to her foreknowledge from her visions in Rhuidean , Moiraine knew how to be in the right billet at the right timeto interfere and stop the Forsaken seductress Lanfear from attacking Randand putting him under a Compulsion . set up Lanfear through the twisted redstone doorway ter’angreal they had brought with from Rhuidean , Moiraine and the Forsaken fly into the twisted world of the Finn , and the ter’angreal melted behind them .
While Rand and the others take this resulted in Moiraine ’s death , she was simply held prisoner by the Finn for some clock time , while Lanfear was release when Moridin , the reincarnated Ishamael , come to bargain for her release . Moiraine remained imprisoned by the Finn until Mat and Thom Merrilin braved the strange Tower of Genjei to rescue her . With the Finn not yet confirm for the show , though , this fight may terminate even more poorly for Moiraine than it did in the book .
9Liandrin’s Subjugation by Moghedien
The Fires of Heaven, Chapter 18
The opening night tantrum from season 3 , episode 1 was released at CCXP , and shew Liandrin and the other sisters of the Black Ajah making their explosive exit from the White Tower as the other Aes Sedai realize their betrayal . While in the Quran that happens outside the tale during the case ofThe Great Hunt , it ’s clear that the show is changing that particular course of events .
The Wheel of Time showrunner Rafe Judkins hash out how that season 2 coda prospect place up next episodes , revealing more about Moghedien .
What is clear from the house trailer is one coup d’oeil of Moghedien ’s skewering Liandrin with her brilliance , which matches up with when Liandrin and her sisters hide in the mansion of a Darkfriend in Amador inThe flack of Heaven , only to all be bring under Moghedien ’s sway . After a little sadistic comb-out , Moghedien made it clear to Liandrin that the Aes Sedai was to be her positron emission tomography and minion , and the ambitious sister was forced to put forward .
8Rand’s Trip Through the Glass Columns
The Shadow Rising, Chapter 25
In Rhuidean , Rand walks through a set of methamphetamine hydrochloride columns that area powerfulter’angrealthe Aiel function as a test for their clan chiefs and Wise Ones . These hundred - foot - improbable pillar give those who go about them sight of the Aiel ’s distant past tense , revealing that the warrior mass were once a chemical group that serve the Aes Sedai in the Age of Legends , and were bound to an oath of passivism . military personnel who survive the exam of the column come forth with a golden dragon tattoo on one branch ; when Rand emerge , he has one on each limb , proclaim him as the Car’a’carn .
There ’s one Rand al’Thor scene I ’ve been looking frontwards to ever since the show started , and I expect it to finally bechance in season 3 .
While we get no obvious glances at the glass column , the hazy down Light Within and Rand ’s disorientate face equal the light in the later shot of the keen Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree Avendesora , and the books target the shopping centre of the columns as near to the tree , in the meat of Rhuidean . It ’s possible some item may be interchange from the books in this sequence , but given thatRand being herald as the Car’a’carn is an integral part of the Book and the Prophecy of the Dragon , it ’s more probable this will amount to communicate the same agency in the show .

7Aviendha Becomes a Wise One

Moiraine enters Rhuidean at the same time as Rand , Mat , and Aviendha , but her journeying use a different ter’angreal , a set of three interlinked alloy rings stand together that act likewise to the ash gray arch the White Tower uses to prove novices and Accepted . While that ter’angreal tests a char with enticement , though , the three rings show Moiraine a host of potential futuresthat seem to give her all the more determined to facilitate Rand , disregarding of her fortune .
The first trailer for The Wheel of Time season 3 has been released , and it teases an epical return to the World of the Wheel and Rand ’s journey .
While Moiraine in the book of account is fairly cryptic about her vision of the future , she does make it clear that she sees Rand ’s survival as the keystone to any good future , and thatmany of those visions indicated that his natural selection would need her forfeiture . This belike led to her impulsive pick to tackle Lanfear through the twisted redstone threshold ; we ’ll have to see if the Prime Video serial allow her to come through . However , due to the greater grandness of her reference in the show , it ’s hard to imaginea long - full term absence for Moiraineafter fighting Lanfear .
5Perrin Defends the Two Rivers
The Shadow Rising, Chapter 56
When Mat chooses to surveil Rand to the Aiel Waste , Perrin heads back to the Two Rivers to accompany up on hearsay that Whitecloaks have been harassing people in the arena . There they find not only Whitecloaks render the people of Emond ’s Field the bang , but a massive US Army of Trollocs nearby . Despite all odds , Perrin manages to convince the Children of the Light to help him defend the village , and lead the commixture of Whitecloaks and villager to triumph against the Trollocs in the Battle of Emond ’s Field .

As it seems the show may skip visiting the Stone of Tear , along with the repose ofThe Dragon Reborn , we ’ll see what the context is aroundEgwene becoming Accepted , since she ’s still also suppose to follow Rand to the Aiel Waste . Still , the reappearance of this ter’angreal makes it light thatthis time of year will see Egwene gain her Great Serpent band .
3Elayne Becomes Queen of Andor
Knife of Dreams, Chapter 35
Given thatKnife of Dreamsis the eleventh book in the serial , and that the Amazon show has yet to show any of the courtly intrigue that almost demolish Andor , it ’s unbelievable that season 3 will show us Elayne ascending to the Lion Throne itself . Still , the scene of her put on a crown in the prevue , as well as rumor that Queen Morgase and Elayne ’s half - brother Galad are cast for season 3,heavily implies that this plot line is about to kick off , at least in some form .
Interestingly , all rumors about Galad ’s cast have the character list as " Galad Trakand"(viaWOTSeries ) , which is rum since , in the record book , Galad is a member of House Damodred . Meanwhile , no rumors have appear about drop for Elayne ’s full brother , Gawyn Trakand . It ’s possible the two characters are being combined in some agency for the show , although ease up that Galad becomes a Whitecloak and Gawyn Egwene ’s Warder , such a combination would definitely have stark narrative repercussions .
