The Wheel of Time
Summary
A change to Moiraine ’s chronicle inThe Wheel of Timeseason 2 lays the foundation for the show to tackle a huge fibre connection that went ignore by the Holy Scripture . Though Prime Video ’s show is only two seasons into its adaptation ofRobert Jordan’sWheel of Timebook series , it ’s already made some significant change to Moiraine ’s arc . In gain to having her shielded from the True Source for most of the event fromThe Great Hunt , the serial added a whole - new plot line for her in Cairhien .
Whereas the book version of Moiraine was more focused on the government issue at hand withRand and his destiny as the Dragon Reborn , her TV counterpart wound up being sidetrack by family matters . In season 2 , her search for Rand lead her back to her menage domicile . reunion with her sister and nephew ( Anvaere and Barthanes ) forced Moiraine to have some uncomfortable conversation about the choices she ’s made . With Moiraine leaving Cairhien inWheel of Timeseason 2 ’s ending , the show may have moved on from this history , but regardless of whether that ’s the case , this subplot paves the mode for the serial to do something else the books never did .
How Moiraine Is Related To Gawyn, Galad, & Elayne In The Wheel Of Time
Moiraine is the aunt of Galad, Gawyn, and Elayne
Developments inThe Wheel of Timebooks confirm that multiple main fibre are related by blood . The rule book give plenty of attention to the familial tie between Galad , Gawyn , and Elayne , but give little focal point to the fact that Moiraine is part of their family . In Jordan ’s novel , it ’s understood that Moiraine has three siblings : the aforesaid Anvaere , Innloine , and Taringail , the latter being a half - brother . Taringail is the father of Gawyn , Elayne , and Galad , whom he sired through two different man and wife .
Both of Taringail ’s marriages were format for diplomatical grounds . As a means to strengthen tie between Cairhein and Andor , Wheel of Time’sHouse Damodredmarried him off to Tigraine Mantear , one of Andor ’s noblewomen . During their shortsighted time together , the pair had one child , Galad . After Tigraine left him to live with the Aiel , Taringail remarried , this time to the new crowned queen of Andor , Morgase Trakand . In doing so , Taringail became the Prince Consort of Andor . Sometime before his death , Morgase gave nascence to a boy and girl , Gawyn and Elayne . As the only female nestling of Morgase , Elayne became the heir to the throne .
Tigraine Mantear , Taringail ’s first wife , is also the female parent of Rand al’Thor . Rand was born via her marriage to an Aiel chief , stick to her tear from Taringail .
Why Wheel Of Time’s Show Is Unlikely To Ignore Moiraine’s Connection To Taringail’s Children
The show’s handling of Barthanes and Anvaere could tease Moiraine’s season 3 story
Unlikethe state of affairs with Rand and Moiraine , she ’s a blood comparative to both of the Trakand siblings and Galad , giving her a major connection to three significant characters from Jordan ’s books . Even so , this scarcely mattered in term of the show ’s tale or the four characters ' various stories . It was implied inKnife of Dreamsthat Elayne had met Moiraine before the timeframe of the series , due to their share backstory . Yet , they never share any meaningful interactions , with the same being the cause for Moiraine and her brother ’s two boy .
expect at what time of year 2 did with Moiraine , the show ’s approach to her connexion with Galad , Gawyn , and Elayne is in a position to be decidedly dissimilar from the Book . Not unlike how the books did n’t emphasize Moiraine being related to Elayne and the others , they also paid no heed to the fact thatMoiraine and Barthanes are both part of the Damodred bloodline . It was n’t even clear what their exact connection was . In gross demarcation to that , the show made them aunt and nephew , and also flesh out an interesting family relationship between the two , found that the Darkfriend had genuine beloved and admiration for Moiraine .
The show ’s willingness to go this route with Moiraine and Barthanes , in spite of the latter not even being an crucial character , offers a promising prevue of what to expect in future seasons in regards to Moiraine ’s narration . Whereas Barthanes was a minor character with an extremely little lifespan in the blanket narrative , Elayne is a agonist in her own right , with both Galad and Gawyn being key corroborate characters . IfThe Wheel of Timeintends to make the most of Moiraine ’s noble rip , it ’s difficult to ideate the show not following its own examplewhen her path necessarily crosses with Galad , Gawyn , and Elayne ’s .

What Moiraine’s Relationships With Elayne, Gawyn, & Galad Could Be
Galad is unlikely to admire Moiraine as much as her other nephew, Barthanes
If the increase grandness of Moiraine ’s bloodlinecarries is ordered from time of year to season , there ’s a inviolable likelihood the series will see at least one of Taringail ’s kids share some screentime with her in the future . One in particular who could have a particularly adversarial relationship with Moiraine is Galad , especially since he finally joins theWhitecloaks in theWheel of Timebooks . Whitecloaks detest Aes Sedai , and their influence could have a gravid effect on how Galad sees her . Since he appears in several book , it should n’t be grueling to make their tarradiddle converge .
An easier option for this is Elayne , considering that time of year 2 cease with both her and Moiraine in the same general area ( Falme ) . Presumably , they ’ll be headed in different management inThe Wheel of Timeseason 3with Moiraine belike direct for the Aiel Waste and Elayne on trail to go to Tanchico , but unless there ’s a time skip , there could be an opportunity for them to interact before their next journeys begin .
exchangeable to what was hinted at in the volume , it may be that they ’ve already met . Since both are undecomposed - natured characters , it would make good sense for them to have a mutual liking for each other . Elayne could also respect Moiraine ’s experience as an Aes Sedai and see her as a possible mentor figure for her . instead , her headstrong personality could result in the two butting head . Either way , a dynamic between the two could present the show with some great character interactions inThe Wheel of Timeseason 3 and beyond .
