Summary
I have an approximation on what the secret battle is inThe Wheel of Timeseason 3 premiere . Among the biggest minx we ’ve received thus far about the next time of year pertains to a fight in the first sequence . According toWheel of Timeshowrunner Rafe Judkins , there ’s conk to be an " absolutely banana " fight that ’s one of the most " bonkers " set pieces he ’s ever visualise on TV . That makes it sound like something we would get from a time of year finale , which make the upcoming season all the more exciting .
found on that description , Wheel of Timeseason 3won’t be getting a slow first and will jump right into the center of the story . Of course , that raises some interesting questions about what this action will implicate and what it means fortheWheel of Timecharacters . WithRobert Jordan’sWheel of Timebooksas a templet , I mean I have a good idea of what battleWheel of Timeis about to show .
The Books Have At Least 3 Major Battles That Could Open Wheel Of Time Season 3
Three Battles Are Massive Enough To Meet The Expectations Set By Judkins
When it comes to the germ textile , Wheel of Timewon’t have to search far if it wants to kick off season 3 with an action - packed spectacle . There are a few different opportunities for that , but whether they ’ll come to pass depends on the instruction taken by the story . One choice isRand taking the Stone of Tear , which is the ending of book 3,The Dragon Reborn . This path would make at least some degree of common sense , as there have been theories thatWheel of Timewill cramThe Dragon Reborn’sbiggest evolution into season 3 ’s first instalment for straightaway jumpstart its adaptation of book 4,The Shadow Rising .
Similar to the Stone of Tear hypothesis , The Wheel of Timecould also let the Aes Sedai coup d’etat fromThe Shadow Risinghappen early . In the books , Elaida result a group of discontented Aes Sedai in a rebellion against Siuan Sanche , who is subsequently depose as the Amylrin Seat and quiet . Siuan Sanche ’s downfall inThe Wheel of Timehas already been set up , so I ’m certain this is live on to materialize ; it ’s just a matter of " when " at this spot . I expect it to occur in time of year 3 , but I ’m doubtful that we ’ll see it as early on as the premiere .
A third possibleness is that the engagement is a continuation of Liandrin ’s plot line . InThe Dragon Reborn , Liandrin escaped from the White Tower with her fellow Black Sisters . In the cognitive operation of doing so , Liandrin and her allies brought about the deaths of several people , including Aes Sedai and Warders . This event pave the way for Nynaeve , Egwene , and Elayne to chamfer her to Tear , which add the trio into the picture show forThe Dragon Reborn’sending . While there ’s no certainly Liandrin wo n’t be in the White Tower in season 3 , a Black Ajah conflict lines up with what ’s recognise about one of season 3 ’s bad story .

Two of the three aforementioned battles equal the description supply by the showrunner . Judkins mentioned that there would be " women in their 40s and 50 tear up each other . " That implies both sides will consist of Aes Sedai . Both the White Tower coup d’etat and the Black Ajah ’s escape are consistent with that . However , the same ca n’t be said for the Stone of Tear conflict , which calls for some use of the One Power but is n’t reliant on mostly distaff channelers .
Season 3’s First Major Battle Is Probably The Black Ajah’s Escape From The White Tower
The Black Ajah’s Escape Culminated In 21 Deaths In The Dragon Reborn
All three scenarios could make for groovy action at law succession , but of those , only one would n’t come with all sorts of narrative risks : the Black Ajah ’s relief valve from the White Tower . While time of year 3 is n’t an adjustment ofThe Dragon Reborn , at least part of its storey are potential to be featured , as they ’re vital to the setup forThe Shadow Rising . That should admit the combat with the Black Ajah , especially since it ’s already been confirmed thatTanchico is one of time of year 3 ’s new locations . InThe Shadow Rising , Tanchico is where Nynaeve and Elayne battle Liandrin and Moghedien in their seeking to block the Black Ajah .
WithNynaeve and Elayne ’s adventure in Tanchicoexpected to be one of the chief storylines for season 3,it seems necessary to me for the Black Ajah to escape from the White Tower near the commencement of the time of year . Liandrin still has ties to the White Tower and we can presume that the Black Ajah ’s presence is still center in Tar Valon . To properly lie in the base for their move to Tanchico , and the crusade to take in up to them , The Wheel of Timeneeds to fully showcase what set all of this in motion , and for time of year 3 , that should begin with the Black Ajah fighting the Aes Sedai as they steal the ter’angreal and take flight from the White Tower .
It’s Too Early For The Stone Of Tear Battle Or The Aes Sedai Coup
The Stone Of Tear & Aes Sedai Fights Are Both Likely To Happen, But Not Yet
Adding credence to the notion that season 3 ’s secret struggle is the Black Ajah ’s escape are the narrative trouble that would come with the other possible paths . Theoretically , the show could have Rand exact Callandor early so as to have this developing forgo his journeying into the Aiel Waste ( just as did in the novel ) , butthere ’s presently no setup for Rand to even want Callandor , much less launch a successful onrush on the Stone of Tear . To get the most out of this crucial moment from the books , it ’ll be secure ifThe Wheel of Timedelays it if it ’s going to segue powerful into the plot ofThe Shadow Rising .
The same blend for the introductions of primal actor in that taradiddle , namely Gawyn , Gareth Byrne , and Elaida . Gawyn , the likable brother of Elayne tailor down Warders wo n’t have any meaning if he ’s not already been introduced as such . Likewise , Elaida has n’t appeared yet and merit some screen time before being allotted her persona as Siuan ’s replacement . The two being missing from the narrative in its current variety creates obstruction that the show would n’t look if it intends to see the Black Ajah abridge a flaming way of life through the White Tower inThe Wheel of Timeseason 3 premiere .
