## Quotes

> **Rob Keyes (interviewer)**How much inspiration or details can you get from the books on the fine details?**Davina Lamont**I get a little bit from the books. When I start reading the scripts, I get as much information as I can out of the scripts. And then I go to Rafe, the showrunner, and Justine, the writer. And then also I've got Sarah Nakamura, who is like the guru in all things the books. She gives me more information. And so when I say to her, "Hey," because obviously in the scripts they give you as much detail as they can put in there. And then she gives me a lot more that I try and hit for the fans who are reading the books and all these little details that I need to put in. But when it came to the Sul'dam, they didn't actually have anything about their hair or anything about their makeup. And so that was a completely new design that I had to come up with. With Lady Suroth, I think for her it was the long nails that we had to put in with her and the fact that she had a certain look, which I can't go into detail yet until the mask comes off. But there were certain elements within the Seanchan that I had to hit within the hair. And as soon as all those masks come off, you'll see.— Interview with *Screenrant*, September 6, 2023

Harriet McDougal

**Harriet Popham McDougal Rigney** is a book editor and the widow of Robert Jordan. She is a consultant producer for the upcoming television series *The Wheel of Time*.

## General overview

McDougal worked as her husband's editor for many years, though her role became less involved with the later novels. After Robert Jordan was diagnosed with amyloidosis, she and Jordan's cousin Wilson Grooms informed readers about updates about his health and the status of the final novel.

Shortly before his death, Jordan realized that he would not be able to finish the series, and asked his wife to find another author who would complete the series based on his drafts and extensive notes. McDougal asked Brandon Sanderson to finish the series after finding his eulogy for her husband and reading some of his novels. She is also the editor and co-writer of Jordan's posthumous *Wheel of Time Companion  (*book spoilers!*)*, published in 2015.

McDougal has expressed her support and interest for the upcoming television series, for which she serves as a consultant producer. Showrunner Rafe Judkins has repeatedly praised McDougal's helpful involvement in the series, saying that she's been a "hugely helpful support". On her involvement in the series, Judkins said:

>
> She's a consulting producer so she's been out to Prague to the sets and reads all the scripts and sends me her notes on them. She and Maria are hugely helpful for maintaining the truth of the series and always keep me honest when it comes to things that change too much
>
>
>
>

## Quotes

> I've lived in the pages of these books from the very beginning, but to see it in reality is amazing.
>
> Harriet McDougal on *The Wheel of Time* set in Fall 2019.

> My feeling is that television is a different medium from the written word, and what happens on the screen is as different from what happens in the book as swimming is from walking. They're very different. And for that reason, I don't think about anything that I want to see translated directly and literally to the television medium.

Joiya al'Thor

**Joiya al'Thor** is a character in *The Wheel of Time* television series. She is the imaginary daughter of Rand al'Thor and Egwene al'Vere.

## History

### Season 1

After reaching the Eye of the World, Rand enters an imaginary space controlled by The Man that resembles his family farm in the Two Rivers. Egwene is eating outside with Joiya, and asks Rand if he has made a lantern for her, as Mat will not have enough time to do so. Egwene gives her to Rand, and goes to finish the lantern.

In the real world, Moiraine Damodred tries to wake Rand from the experience. When Egwene returns from the house, Rand gives Joiya to Egwene, and starts to question the reality, but seems to decide that it is real when Egwene answers his questions with knowledge only she has. However, The Man approaches, and freezes Egwene and Joiya in time. The Man stands over Joiya when tempting Rand with the promise of remaking reality, asking him to focus on her to make her real, but Rand instead reaches for the *sa'angreal* that Moiraine gave him, breaking free of the false reality.

## Physical appearance

Joiya is an infant with medium-light skin and brown hair.

## Appearances

Joiya al'Thor appears in the following episodes:

## Changes from the book series

## History

### Early life

Danya was born and raised in the Two Rivers.

## Activities

### Season 1

Danya dices with Mat, Rand, and Perrin at the Winespring Inn. Mat loses his throw of dice, and Danya wins. Mat wants to play again, but Danya leaves, telling him to have better luck next time. After Mat speaks with Perrin and Rand for a bit, he leaves to go see Danya again. The two are still speaking in the inn when Lan and Moiraine arrive, and like many patrons, Danya is silent after the arrival of the two strangers.

The next day, Mat speaks with the peddler Padan Fain, and trades Danya's bracelet for three Bel Tine lanterns. Padan Fain asks if he'll be able to sell the bracelet in town, guessing that Mat stole it.

It is unknown what happened to Danya during the Shadowspawn attack on the Two Rivers.

## Physical appearance

Danya is a young woman, around her early twenties. She has dark brown skin, dark brown eyes, and black hair. The day before Bel Tine, she wears a red dress and jewelry, including an intricate false gold bracelet, which is later stolen by Mat.

Battle of the Shining Walls

The **Battle of the Shining Walls**, also called the **Blood Snow**, was the final conflict of the Aiel War.

## History

The Battle of the Shining Walls ended the over two year-long conflict between the Aiel and the Westlands when the King of Cairhien, who had started the war by violating the truce, was killed by the Aiel.

During the battle, Tigraine Mantear, a heavily pregnant Maiden of the Spear, defeated several of the Illianer Companions, but was mortally wounded by a solider. She began to deliver a baby, and was spared by the Second Captain of the Companions, Tam al'Thor. He helped deliver her child, who was in fact the Dragon Reborn, and after she died, adopted her son as his own.

## Changes from the book series

The Battle of the Shining Walls is adapted from the event of the same name  (*book spoilers!*) from the book series.

* In the books, the Battle of the Shining Walls is not directly depicted, it is only referenced.
* In the books, Tigraine had already given birth and died when Tam found her and the baby.

Armswoman Hallway

**Armswoman Hallway** is a character in *The Wheel of Time* television series portrayed by Terezie Vraspírová.

Armswoman Hallway is an armswoman at Fal Dara during the Trolloc attack at Tarwin's Gap.

## History

### Season 1

During the attack at Tarwin's Gap, Perrin Aybara wants to help but doesn't know how, and Loial suggests they ask. They presumably ask Armswoman Hallway, who takes them to the throne room where Uno Nomesta and Lord Yakota are working.

## Physical appearance

Hallways is an adult woman with fair skin. She wears a blue uniform and carries a sword.

## Appearances

Armswoman Hallway appears in the following episodes:

## Trivia

* When Hallway says, "Lord Yakota", the movements of her mouth don't match the words. This is because Lord Yakota's actor Amar Chadha-Patel was originally cast as Lord Ingtar Shinowa, but had to be recast for season 2 due to scheduling conflicts. As such, Chadha-Patel's season 1 character was renamed Lord Yakota. Hallway probably says "Lord Ingtar" in the scene, and it was dubbed in post-production for her to instead say "Lord Yakota".

## Changes from the book series

Armswoman Hallway is an original character in the television series and does not appear in the book series.

Age of Legends

*This article is about the historical period. For the proposed prequel film, see *Age of Legends* (film).*

The **Age of Legends**, or the **Second Age**, is the name given to the Age of the Wheel of Time preceding the Breaking of the World.

During the Age of Legends, there was no corruption on *saidin*, and both men and women served as Aes Sedai, "servants of all." The Age was a period of advanced technology, and humanity had the capacity to build enormous structures.

The Old Tongue was the common language of the Age of Legends.

## Events

The Age of Legends was a time of incredible advancement in philosophy, science, and technology. Incredible progress was made as female and male channelers collaborated together with both *saidar* and *saidin*. It was known how to create objects of the One Power during this time, such as *angreal*, *sa'angreal*, and *ter'angreal*.

The Age of Legends came to an end as a result of the War of Power, a great battle between the Light and the Shadow. Eventually, a group of male Aes Sedai led by Lews Therin Telamon attempted to cage the Dark One forever. When they failed, the Dark One corrupted *saidin*, and all male Aes Sedai turned mad. The civilizational collapse led to the end of the Age of Legends and the beginning of the Breaking of the World, where the land was reshaped entirely.

## Changes from the book series

The Age of Legends is based on the time period of the same name  (*book spoilers!*) from the book series.

Falme

**Falme** is a large town on Toman Head. It is the first major settlement captured by the Seanchan as part of the *Hailene*, and has become their first base of operations in the Westlands.

It plays a large role in the events of season 2.

## Overview

Falme is the largest town on Toman Head. The surrounding area is disputed by other nations; Arad Doman to the north and Tarabon to the south. Falme has thus traditionally governed itself independently, although it has not been large enough to have been considered a true city-state like Tar Valon.

## History

### Season 2

Falme has been captured by the Seanchan as part of the *Hailene*, the preliminary phase of their Return to the Westlands. High Lord Turak is the highest-ranking member of the Seanchan Blood in the town, and is the overall royal commander of the *Hailene*. He receives High Lady Suroth in Falme when she returns from Atuan's Mill, and reprimands her for venturing so far from the area that the Seanchan could control. Loial and Ingtar Shinowa are also presented in Falme as *da'covale* slaves. Ishamael and Padan Fain are also there to present the Horn of Valere to High Lord Turak.

Nynaeve al'Meara and Elayne Trakand enter Falme after managing to escape the Seanchan in a skirmish at a nearby Waygate. They are seized by Ryma and Basan, an Aes Sedai and her Warder, respectively, who have been hiding from the Seanchan in Falme. Meanwhile, Egwene al'Vere is collared by an *a'dam* and made *damane* by the Seanchan. Renna supervises Egwene's initial training in the kennels, forcing her to use the One Power to destroy a tree while also trying to utterly break her and make her conform to the *damane* system. Maigan is also present in the kennels, as she was captured in an Aes Sedai mission to the western coast.

They make some progress, but *damane* come looking for a woman who can channel, and Ryma chooses to sacrifice herself. Basan is killed in the fighting, and Ryma is devastated when she is collared and made *damane*.

Amar Chadha-Patel

**Amar Chadha-Patel** is a British actor who plays Lord Yakota on Prime Video's *The Wheel of Time*.

Prior to *The Wheel of Time*, Amar Chadha-Patel was known for portraying Preacher in *The Third Day* (2020), Stretch in *Dashcam* (2021), and Ram Lal in *Beecham House* (2019).

Amar Chadha-Patel's involvement in *The Wheel of Time* was first revealed in February 2021 when his agency profile was updated to show he was portraying the character Ingtar Shinowa.

Dragonmount

Dragonmount featured on Prime Video's Extras section

**Dragonmount** is a towering volcano that overlooks Tar Valon.

## History

Dragonmount was created during the early stages of the Breaking of the World, after *saidin* had been corrupted by the Dark One. After Lews Therin Telamon was released from his madness and realized he had slaughtered his entire family, he drew on an excessive amount of the One Power. The Dragon was vaporized by a pillar of white-hot energy that split open the Earth, breaking its crust and causing the volcanic eruption of Dragonmount.

The Battle of the Shining Walls, which ended the Aiel War, was fought on Dragonmount. During the fighting, a heavily pregnant Maiden of the Spear, Tigraine Mantear, defeated several Illianer soldiers before being mortally wounded. Tam al'Thor discovered her, and helped her deliver her son, the Dragon Reborn. Tigraine passed away, and Tam raised the boy, Rand, as his own.

## Changes from the book series

Channel

Moiraine channeling

To **channel** is to access and wield the One Power (i.e. to perform magic). A person who can channel is called a **channeler**. A major group of channelers are the Aes Sedai, which is an all-female organization.

Men who channel go mad due to a corruption of the One Power by the Dark One. The act of permanently cutting a person off from the One Power, and thus removing their ability to channel, is known as severing or gentling. The Aes Sedai find and gentle men who can channel to avoid another Breaking of the World.

## Quotes

> **Rand**We need a plan. You saw what Moiraine did to the ferryman. What happens to us if we step out of line?**Egwene**What happens if she's right?**Mat**If one of us is the, uh... the Dragon Reborn? The most powerful channeler that ever lived?— First use of the term channeler in the series, season 1 episode 2, Shadow's Waiting

> **Perrin**If you wouldn't mind channeling us some food or water...— Perrin joking with Egwene, season 1 episode 3 A Place of Safety

> **Moiraine**And the madness. How far gone is he?**Liandrin**He's the same as any man who can channel, worse even.— The Aes Sedai discuss Logain, season 1 episode 4 The Dragon Reborn

> **Moiraine**I was unaware that she could channel.— Discussing Nynaeve's channeling abilities in the Hall of the Tower, season 1 episode 6 The Flame of Tar Valon

> **Aes Sedai instructor**When men touch *Saidin*, it is wild and unwieldy, a raging torrent resisting. And after the Dark One corrupted Saidin, the madness is unavoidable. Tainted upstream, the two cannot be separated. When women touch the True Source with *Saidar*, we surrender and guide. In its gentleness, we find its infinite power. To master these waters will take time and practice.— The differences between men and women channeling, *The Wheel of Time Origins* season 1 episode 4 Saidin, Saidar, Stone

## Trivia

* While several Aes Sedai, including Moiraine, are shown channeling in the first episode, the noun channeler is first used in the second episode, and the verb channeling is first used in the third episode.
* When Egwene channels, the soundtrack accompanies it with the sound of running water, like a river. This happened when Moiraine guided her channeling in season 1 episode 2 Shadow's Waiting, and when she channeled to free Perrin in episode 5 Blood Calls Blood. This is likely a reference or comparison to her drifting in the river in the first episode Leavetaking. The comparison for a woman channeling and calm river waters was also made in *The Wheel of Time Origins* episode *Saidin, Saidar, Stone*. This was also a comparison made throughout the book series.

Caemlyn

**Caemlyn** is the capital city of Andor.

## History

### Pre-series

Thom Merrilin was born to a wealthy family in Caemlyn. After decades of schooling in Andoran politics, he became court bard to House Trakand, and became known as "The Gray Fox." However, for unknown reasons, Thom later left the capital to make a living as a gleeman.

### Season 1

The Amyrlin Seat, Siuan Sanche, is away in Caemlyn when Logain Ablar and the party of Aes Sedai escorting him return to Tar Valon, having had to extrajudicially gentle him outside the Tower after he broke free of their shield and his army attacked the camp. Siuan intends to properly investigate the matter upon her return to Tar Valon.

### Season 2

When Verin Mathwin asks about the whereabouts of Egwene al'Vere, Nynaeve al'Meara, and Elayne Trakand, Sheriam Bayanar somewhat confusedly states that they were signed out to visit Elayne's home in Caemlyn. When Yasicca takes a look at Sheriam's notes, she confirms that they have been signed out to supposedly visit Elayne's brother, Gawyn, but notes that she was writing slower than usual. The combination of odd behavior makes Verin suspect that a weave of Compulsion may have been used, which would mean that the Black Ajah does truly exist.

## Changes from the book series

Caemlyn is an adaptation of the city of the same name  (*book spoilers!*) from the book series.

* In the book series, Moiraine's party eventually reunites in Caemlyn after separating in Shadar Logoth, and decide to abandon their journey to Tar Valon to instead travel to the Eye of the World. However, in the television series, they reunite in their planned destination of Tar Valon.
