Warning some spoilers ahead for season two of “The Wheel of Time.”
Season two has already given us some hints as to where the series is heading.
In the first scene of season two, Ishamael (Fares Fares), who was thought to be the Dark One in season one, returns and has a meeting with a group of masked individuals, who appear to be the main antagonists this season.
The antagonists include the Black Ajah, a secret group of powerful sorcerers; the Seanchan, a mysterious and powerful army from across the seas; and the Forsaken, ancient powerful sorcerers who have been released from their prisons.
These groups are key antagonists in “The Great Hunt,” the second novel in “The Wheel of Time” book series by Robert Jordan. This book and book three, “The Dragon Reborn,” serve as the main inspiration for season two.
In “The Great Hunt,” Rand and his friends Mat and Perrin chase a special item called the Horn of Valere across the land, which results in an epic battle at the end of the book.
Meanwhile, in “The Dragon Reborn,” Rand embarks on another journey to prove he is worthy of the title of Dragon Reborn.
So far, the season has mainly borrowed elements from book two, but has made significant changes to the story, even more than in season one. At this time it’s unclear whether the season will end in the same way as the climax to book two, or delve further into book three.
