> There are times when I had six cameras going at the same time. When I met with [showrunner] Rafe [Judkins], we talked about the vision for season two and about more action, more deep, nuanced character work, as well as strong imagery. When you have a great season one base, you can really jump off of that and take some really great visual chances, and also within the acting of it all.

Master Grinwell

**Master Grinwell** is a character in *The Wheel of Time* television series portrayed by Pasha Bocarie.

## History

### Early life

Master Grinwell is an Andoran farmer. He married Mistress Grinwell, and had a son, as well as a daughter named Helga.

When Logain Ablar's war broke out in the south, the Grinwells began to grow wary of trespassers crossing their land.

### Season 1

Master Grinwell notices Thom Merrilin, Rand al'Thor, and Mat Cauthon trespassing on his property. He draws his bow, though not in a manner appropriate for killing them. His wife and son also take aim at the party of three, though they do not alert the men of their presence. Master Grinwell approaches them about their actions, and Thom asks them to let them keep riding on. Master Grinwell speculates that if he lets them do so, they will double back at night for his farm. Rand apologizes for them, admitting they were going to rest in his barn and move on, and points out that Master Grinwell doesn't truly want to kill them from the way he has drawn his bow. He also says that if he wanted to kill the Grinwells, he would not have admitted their plan. Master Grinwell consults with his wife, and they let the group stay on the farm in exchange for mucking out the stables.

In the night, Master Grinwell and his family are killed by a Fade who is tracking Thom, Rand, and Mat.

## Relationships

### Mistress Grinwell

Master Grinwell and his life have a supportive relationship, and he takes care to consult her opinion before letting Thom, Rand, and Mat stay on their farm.

## Physical appearance

Master Grinwell is a bearded man with dark hair. He has a medium skin tone.

## Appearances

## Quotes

> **Mr. Grinwell**A man could get suspicious of strangers in his woods.**Mat**We're just passing through.**Mr. Grinwell**Most people stay on their horse for that.**Thom**We'll get back on them, keep riding, if you let us.**Mr. Grinwell**So you can double back at night? Quite a risk to me and my family. Countryside's full of soldiers who abandoned that rebellion in the South.— Mr. Grinwell approaches Thom, Rand, and Mat, 1.04 *The Dragon Reborn*

## Changes from the book series

Master Grinwell is based on the character of the same name  (*book spoilers!*) from the book series.

Alwhin explains that the Seanchan, as the successors of Luthair Paendrag, are the rightful rulers of the Westlands. She thus uses this to demand that everyone present swear allegiance to the Seanchan.

## Appearances

Luthair Paendrag is mentioned in the following episodes:

## Quotes

> **Alwhin**People of Atuan's Mill, you have forgotten your history. You squat on stolen land. Land which once belonged to us, and will be ours once again. When the fleet of Luthair Paendrag crossed the Aryth Ocean, the return was promised. Today is that day.— Season 2 episode 3 What Might Be

Sheriam Bayanar

**Sheriam Bayanar** is a character in *The Wheel of Time* television series, first appearing in season 2. She is portrayed by Rima Te Wiata.

Sheriam is the Mistress of Novices in the White Tower.

## History

### Early life

Sheriam trained at the White Tower in Tar Valon and became an Aes Sedai, choosing the Blue Ajah. Sheriam managed to become Mistress of Novices, training newcomers to the White Tower. She became bonded to a Warder named Arinvar.

### Season 2

Sheriam holds a meeting with several other Aes Sedai on the training of novices. She asks Alanna as to how Egwene al'Vere is getting along. Alanna responds that Egwene needs to "loosen up", and then changes her conversation to talk about Nynaeve al'Meara, as her block is even more concerning. Liandrin suggests she step in as a teacher, but Sheriam denies her this, pointing out that a novice died in her care. However, Sheriam does at least allow Liandrin to talk to Nynaeve after the Red sister tries to frame Nynaeve as a potent weapon against the Shadow.

## Appearances

Sheriam appears in the following episodes:

## Trivia

* The character Sheriam was first confirmed in a video released at JordanCon on April 22, 2023.
	+ The video introduced the character as "Sheriam Bayalar" (rather than "Bayanar"). Show consultant Sarah Nakamura believes this is a typo. This makes this the second time an introduced character's name is misspelled, after Ila (introduced as Illa).
* Sheriam's first look was revealed in a clip released on August 23, 2023.

## Gallery

### Images

Episode 201: Sheriam meets with the Aes Sedai to discuss how the novice training is goingEpisode 203: Sheriam, Leane, and Liandrin stand before the Arches, waiting for Nynaeve to returnEpisode 205: Sheriam in her study

## Changes from the book series

Sheriam Bayanar is an adaptation of the character of the same name  (*book spoilers!*) from the book series.

* In the book series, Sheriam is relatively young for an Aes Sedai, as she is only in her late forties and still has her bright red hair. In the television series, Sheriam has a much more mature appearance, even with the One Power slowing the rate at which Aes Sedai age.

Light's Blessing Inn

The **Light's Blessing Inn** is an inn in *The Wheel of Time*. Rand al'Thor and Mat Cauthon stay there when they arrive in Tar Valon.

## Overview

The Light's Blessing is located in Tar Valon and is run by Basel Gill. The inn has a library with many books, including a book on the Karaethon Cycle as well as *The Travels of Jain Farstrider*.

## History

### Season 1

Thom Merrilin told Rand al'Thor about the inn and that he knew the owner Basel Gill. When Rand and Mat get to the city, Rand takes Mat there, and they get a room. At the inn's library, Rand studies *The Travels of Jain Farstrider* when he meets Loial, and talks about his journeys. After his conversation with Rand, Loial goes to the White Tower and returns with Rand and Mat's friend, Nynaeve al'Meara, who was believed dead after a Trolloc attack on the Two Rivers. Nynaeve studies Mat as his strange sickness worsens, and tells him to rest.

Moiraine Damodred finds out that Rand and Mat are staying at the inn and that Loial and Nynaeve are frequently visiting them, and enters their room with her Warder, Lan Mandragoran. Rand attempts to hold Lan off, as he is worried that Mat is a male channeler and that Moiraine will gentle him, but she finds that Mat's affliction is a result of his link to the ruby-hilted dagger from Shadar Logoth. She channels in order to sever Mat from the dagger and Heal the damage done to him, and chastises Nynaeve for not informing her of his condition.

## Appearances

The Light's Blessing Inn appears in the following episodes:

## Trivia

* According to Rand, one night at the Light's Blessing costs the same as a month at the Winespring Inn.

## Changes from the book series

The Light's Blessing is an adaptation of the Queen's Blessing  (*book spoilers!*) from book series. Both inns are run by Basel Gill, and Rand and Mat stay there because Thom knew the owner and told the boys about it. Changes:

* Location - In the books, the inn is located in Caemlyn.
* Name - In the books, the inn is named for the Queen of Andor. The name change is likely to reflect the new location in Tar Valon.

* Introduction - In the book series, *Meditations on the Kindling Flame* comes up much later in the series, and is being read by a different Aes Sedai.

Sa'angreal

A ***sa'angreal*** (Old Tongue for *superlative object of the power to channel*) is an object of the One Power that allows a channeler to draw in an extremely vast amount of the One Power, compared to that which they would typically be capable of.

## Overview

The making of *angreal*, *sa'angreal*, and *ter'angreal* appears to be a lost art from the Age of Legends, and the methods to make new *angreal* appear to be lost in the Third Age. This makes *sa'angreal* especially rare and powerful objects.

*Sa'angreal* also appear to be specific to the two different halves of the One Power; *saidin* for male channelers, or *saidar* for female channelers.

## Changes from the book series

*Sa'angreal* are adapted from the objects of the same name  (*book spoilers!*) from the book series.

Sword form

**Sword forms** are movements or techniques used in sword-fighting in *The Wheel of Time*. A specific sword form will have a name and a movement that goes with it.

## History

### Season 2

While working at the Cairhien sanitarium, Rand al'Thor befriends the patient Errol, who is a blademaster. Rand asks if Errol could teach him a few more sword forms and Errol agrees, and then he demonstrates a few with his cane. Another orderly, Yann, makes a loud noise, triggering Errol. Rand comforts him and asks what he would hit him with first, and Errol names the forms he would use against him.

When Rand and Lan Mandragoran are at the Sun Palace waiting to see Siuan Sanche, Lan reaches to take Rand's sword from him, and Rand dodges the motion, pulling his sword and sheath into his hands. Lan smiles and identifies the sword form as "Heron dips the wing." He suggests to Rand that if he's going to use any sword form, to use "cat crosses the courtyard" - walk straight with all his muscles loose.

## Known sword forms

Sword forms that have been named in *The Wheel of Time* television series are:

* Cutting the Clouds
* Kissing the Adder
* Parting the Silk
* Reaping the Barley
* Heron dips the wing
* Cat Crosses the Courtyard - "keep your back straight, every muscle loose. As if hung from a wire at the top of your head."

## Quotes

> **Errol**Don't test me, boy. Once a blademaster, always a blademaster. Even if I have misplaced my heron-mark sword.**Rand**I'll try to sneak my sword in again sometime. You can teach me a few more forms, right?**Errol**Take your pick. Cutting the Clouds, Kissing the Adder...— Season 2 episode 2 Strangers and Friends

> **Rand**Hey. Hey. That bastard. He caught us by surprise. Next time, we'll be ready for him. Now, what'll you hit him with first?**Errol**Parting the Silk to put him off balance. Then Reaping the Barley, before he can right himself. Straight to the heart.**Rand**Pretty vicious yourself, old man.— Season 2 episode 2 Strangers and Friends

> **Lan**There's one rule above all others for being a man. Whatever comes, you face it on your feet. Put this on. Give me your blade.**Rand**[*dodges the motion*]**Lan**[*smiles*] Heron Dips the Wing. You've been learning sword forms.**Rand**I've learned a couple of things.**Lan**Keep the sword. If the Amyrlin's afraid of you, it won't be for a sword. If you're going to use one of the forms, use Cat Crosses the Courtyard, keep your back straight, every muscle loose. As if hung from a wire at the top of your head. Go. The Amyrlin waits.— Season 2 episode 7 Daes Dae'mar

Narg

**Narg** is a minor character in *The Wheel of Time* television series. He is a Trolloc that attacks the al'Thor farm during the attack on the Two Rivers on Bel Tine.

## History

### Season 1

Narg presumably arrived in the Two Rivers with the other trollocs and a Fade. He is the only trolloc to go to the al'Thor farm, and he breaks down the door and begins attacking Rand and Tam. Tam pulls out a sword and begins holding him off. While Narg gets Tam pinned against a wall, Rand stabs Narg through the throat with a fire poker, killing him.

Narg's weapon was coated in Trolloc poison, which infects Tam after Narg injures him. Tam quickly weakens and goes unconcious until Rand gets him back to the village where Tam is healed by Moiraine.

## Physical Appearance

Narg is a large trolloc, at least 8 feet high. He has horns, tusks, and is covered with thick brown fur.

## Trivia

* Before the premiere, Rafe Judkins confirmed that Narg would appear in the television series in some form.
* Despite his minor role in the book series, Narg had already become somewhat of a meme among *Wheel of Time* fans before the announcement of the television show, mostly due to the fact that he is the only Trolloc who is depicted on-page as speaking a human language. This is likely why Rafe Judkins confirmed that Narg would be in the television series on multiple occasions, even though he is a relatively minor character in the books.
* Several leaks from the television series have been made by a member of the production team who uses the name "Narg" online.

## Changes from the book series

Narg is an adaptation of the character of the same name  (*book spoilers!*) from the book series. Narg fulfills basically the same role in the television series, in that he attacks the al'Thors.

* Group - In the books, Narg is one of several Trollocs that attack the al'Thor farm. In the show, he attacks alone.
* Speaking - In the books, Narg tries to speak with Rand. He does not speak at all in the show.
* Death - In the books, Rand kills Narg with his father's sword. In the show, Rand uses a fire poker.

Master Hightower

### Early life

Master Hightower was born and raised in Taren Ferry. He had a son.

## Activities

### Season 1

In the night, Hightower is woken, and approached by the Aes Sedai Moiraine Damodred and her party, including her Warder, Lan Mandragoran, and their companions from Emond's Field: Rand al'Thor, Perrin Aybara, Mat Cauthon, and Egwene al'Vere. She asks to cross the Taren, and he says he will ferry them across once his son is here. However, once Moiraine gives him an extraordinary amount of money, promising him twice as much when they have crossed the river, he agrees to ferry them immediately, telling Moiraine that she must be a woman who does not hear "no" often.

As they make their way across the river, Hightower is shocked to see creatures on the other side, and is told that they are in fact Shadowspawn. Moiraine explains that even though the Fade might be able to force the Trollocs to do most things, they will not cross the river for now, and offers to take the ferrymaster to the next town. Hightower refuses, worrying about his family back in Taren Ferry, but Lan tells him that there is no going back. Hightower frantically explains that his son will already be on his way, and that they have to help him, but Moiraine says that she cannot allow it or the Shadowspawn will follow them across, and Lan cuts the ferry's rope, whith Moiraine channeling in order to sink the ferry. Aghast, and knowing that it is the only way to get his son across, Hightower calls the Aes Sedai a monster for what she has done, before trying to swim across to the vessel, but he is pulled beneath the water and drowns.
