9Mat Meeting The Aelfinn & The Eelfinn
The Aelfinn And The Eelfin Are Devious Creatures From An Alternate World
Mat ’s story inThe Wheel of Timeseason 3is fairly difficult to predict , as there are several important storylines from his playscript electric discharge that should have been covered by now . One critical part of Mat ’s story that is see more and more improbable to occur is Mat ’s encounter with the unknown species cognize as the Aelfinn and the Eelfinn . Mat first encounters them inThe Dragon Reborn , but since most of that book is gloss over inThe Wheel of Timeseason 2 , this now looks unlikely .
The Wheel of Time adapts Robert Jordan ’s novel serial of the same name , make it worthwhile to predict which books the remaining season will cover .
Mat ’s next showdown with the Aelfinn and Eelfinn arrive in the city of Rhuidean , deep within the Aiel Waste . However , it ’s looking progressively likely that Mat ’s season 3 electric arc will jump to his sojourn to Caemlyn with Thom , rather than mail him into the Waste with Rand . With that in mind , the Aelfinn and Eelfinn may be cut from the show tout ensemble , as it would be difficult to let in their later contribution to the story without these early scenes setting them up .
The Wheel of Time follows Moiraine, a member of the powerful all-female organization Aes Sedai, as she leads a perilous quest with five young individuals. Moiraine suspects one among them could be the prophesized reincarnation of a mighty figure destined to either save or doom humanity.
8Moiraine Being Captured By The Aelfinn And Eelfinn
Moiraine Drags Lanfear Into The Doorway To The World Of Snakes And Foxes
Moiraine looks set to face off with Lanfear inThe Wheel of Timeas she does in the book , but if the Aelfinn and Eelfinn are cut back , as Mat ’s story changes seem to suggest , then their conflict will ask to befall differently . In the record , Moiraine tackles Lanfear through a ter’angreal influence like a doorway , transporting both of them to the world of the Eelfinnand the Aelfinn .
Lanfear would ’ve eventually been killed by the strange species as they sucked the One Power from her body , but Moridin arrives and wipe out her prematurely , allowing the Dark One to domesticate her soul and raise her in a new body .

7Rand Fighting Ishamael At The Stone Of Tear
Ishamael Survives The Duel At Falme In The Wheel Of Time Books
Another incredible present moment fromThe Wheel of Timebook serial in danger of being cut from Prime Video ’s adaptation is Rand ’s second duel with Ishamael , which acquire billet at the Stone of Tear near the end of book 3,The Dragon Reborn . This epic meeting see Rand eventually kill Ishamael , but as previously mentioned , Ishamael is resurrected in the book under the name of Moridin . Unfortunately , after Ishamael ’s death inThe Wheel of Timeseason 2 ’s coda , a rematch between the two most powerful channelers ever is wait unlikely .
first , Ishamael ’s death shot in the show carry a signified of finality that casts doubt on his potential yield as Moridin . Further , The Wheel of Timeshow is already being forced to tailor several of the Forsaken due to prison term constraint , so it might not have time to start resurrect previously defeated villain . Still , it would be an enormous disappointment ifThe Wheel of Time ’s greatest and most powerful scoundrel were defeated for trade good so early in the serial publication , sothere ’s still Leslie Townes Hope for an eventual rematch between Rand and Ishamael , even if it does n’t happen in Tear .
6The Eye Of The World’s Prologue
This Is The Only Scene In The Wheel Of Time Books Set In The Age Of Legends
One of the most crucialmissing minute from the firstWheel of Timebook , The Eye of the World , is the prologue , which provides a glance of the Breaking of the World . In this scene , Ishamael finds the fresh unrestrained Lews Therin Telamon surround by the family member he killed after go mad . Ishamael temporarily lifts the embryonic membrane of insanity from Lews Therin ’s thinker , allowing him to see what he had done .
Swallowed by his sorrow , Lews Therin Travels to a spot near where Tar Valon will finally stand , drawing so much of the One Power that it kills him and creates the raft known as Dragonmount . The Wheel of Timeseason 1 finale admit a brief tantrum with Lews Therin , but the show has yet to depictThe Eye of the World ’s prologue . SinceThe Wheel of Timeseason 1 opted to admit Lews Therin but not show his death , the chance to include this iconic Quran scene may have already passed .
5The Green Man Appearing
The Green Man Is The Last Of A Constructed Species Known As The Nym
Another consequence ofThe Wheel of Time ’s change toThe Eye of the Worldis that Someshta , otherwise know as the Green Man , does not make an coming into court . Someshta is a Nym , a species constructed by the Aes Sedai during the Age of Legends to help agriculture flourish and ensure that hunger was eliminated completely . By the events inThe Eye of the World , Someshta is the only living Nym , will to hold the untainted syndicate of Saidin found within the Eye .
Someshta ’s appearance in the script provide an important chip of worldbuilding for the Age of Legends , an era that has been scantly discussed inThe Wheel of Timeshow , despite its importance to the story . Someshta also fight and defeats one of the Forsaken inThe Eye of the World , so the show is miss out on a wild conflict prospect as well . regrettably , with the changes made to the Eye inThe Wheel of Timeshow , it ’s improbable that Someshta will appear in the seriesin any capability .
4Mat Dueling Gawyn And Galad With His Quarterstaff
Mat Duels The Half-Brothers In Tar Valon In The Wheel Of Time Books
One of the numerous vista fromThe Dragon Rebornthat did not make the skip forThe Wheel of Timeseason 2 is Mat ’s affaire d’honneur with Galad Damodred and Gawyn Trakand , Elayne Trakand ’s half - brother and brother , respectively . In this riveting tantrum , Mat duels them two - against - one , using his quarterstaff against their swords . Mat wins the duel well , despite their being two of the best untested swordsman in Tar Valon .
Unfortunately , it now look unlikely that Mat will be journey back to Tar Valon after the Battle of Falme , as he does in the books . or else , The Wheel of Timeseason 3 is poised to post Mat to Caemlyn to introduce Queen Morgase , and in all probability the desolate experience as Rahvin . While this means Mat ’s iconic affaire d’honneur is unlikely to happen in Tar Valon , it ’s possible that the show could work the setting into his time in Caemlyn , as this is where Gawyn and Galad are from , but that could simply be wishful mentation .
3Egwene Taking The Aes Sedai Accepted Test
Egwene Becoming Accepted Paves Her Way To The Amyrlin Seat
One minute fromThe Wheel of Timebooks that the show may not be able to include due to time restrictions is Egwene taking the mental test to become Accepted . This occurs in the book before she journey into Aiel Waste with Rand , and more significantly , before the White Tower schism . In the show , however , Egwene is being set up to travel to the Waste with Rand in time of year 3 , which is also look to admit the White Tower coup d’etat .
The Aes Sedai Accepted test is demonstrated inThe Wheel of Timeseason 3 , which shows Nynaeve walk through the ter’angreal mob that make the test .
This means thatEgwene likely wo n’t yield to the Tower before the coup occurs , making it insufferable for her to take the Accepted run . Egwene is destined to link up the junto of Aes Sedai that allow the Tower , eventually becoming Amyrlin Seat and reunite the two side of the Aes Sedai . This means that Egwene will probably be the Amyrlin Seat by the next time she ’s in Tar Valon , make it incredibly unlikely that she will ever take the Accepted test in the show ’s canyon .
2Mat Obtaining His Fox Head Medallion Ter’angreal In Rhuidean
The Medallion Protects Its Wearer From Flows Of The One Power
Mat ’s likely journey to Caemlyn inThe Wheel of Timeseason 3 could also prevent him from receive his George Fox head medallion , a ter’angreal that make weave of the One Power to dissipate when they touch him . Naturally , this medallion render Mat a huge advantage against Aes Sedai and other channelers , but it now appears improbable that he will have this advantage in the show . Mat obtains the medallion during his trip to the Aiel urban center of Rhuidean , which he wo n’t be capable to visit if he ’s in Caemlyn , as expect .
If Mat does go to Caemlyn inThe Wheel of Timeseason 3 , then there ’s still a luck he could obtain the medallion elsewhere , but if this captivating ter’angreal is to be included , it would likely require Mat to travel to Rhuidean . It ’s also worth point out that even if Mat does n’t obtain the decoration in time of year 3 , he could still find it at a late degree in the show . However , the likelihood of Mat finding it decrease considerably if he does n’t visit Rhuidean in time of year 3 .
1Moridin Saving Rand In Shadar Logoth
Moridin Saves Rand During His Fight With Sammael
Another monolithic second fromThe Wheel of Timebooks that ca n’t pass if Ishamael does n’t turn back as Moridin is when the Forsaken unexpectedly keep open Rand ’s life sentence during his competitiveness with Sammael in Shadar Logoth . This moment is obviously significant because of the whodunit of it — why Moridin would save his mortal foe ’s life — but also becauseit ’s at this minute that Rand and Moridin ’s souls are inextricably yoke .
After Moridin saves Rand , Mashadar appear , motivate them to weave balefire at the dark creature . Their stream of balefire intersect , which , unbeknownst to either Rand or Moridin , links their souls . This link is important because it allows Rand to outlive in Moridin ’s body after The Last Battle . The inside information of Rand and Moridin ’s body swap are muddy , but suffice it to say that without this moment , Rand would perish in the last . With that in mind , this is a huge event forThe Wheel of Timeshow to vamoose , but it now see increasingly probable to be overlooked anyway .
The Wheel of Time follows Moiraine , a member of the powerful all - distaff organization Aes Sedai , as she leads a perilous quest with five youthful individuals . Moiraine suspect one among them could be the prophesized reincarnation of a mighty figure destined to either save or doom humanity .
