The Wheel of Time
Summary
Casting point forThe Wheel of Timeseason 3 set the stage for an Age of Legends story that ’s not in any of Robert Jordan ’s al-Qur’an . The historic earned run average get it on as the Age of Legends is remembered as a sentence when The Wheel of Time ’s world was abundant with brawny , desperate channelers , both male and distaff . Back then , the True Source had yet to be corrupt , intend man and women alike could habituate the One Power for goodness as Aes Sedai .
easy the most important figure live on during the Age of Legends wereLews Therin Telamon a.k.a . The DragonandThe Wheel of Time’s13 Forsaken . Because what happened to Lews Therin and the Forsaken is central to the foundation ofRobert Jordan’sWheel of Timebook series , the Age of Legends is of course a key part of its history . Even so , it ’s thus far received limited focus in Prime Video ’s show , with the show not given much attention to the Age of Legends ' events from the books . Season 3 , on the other hand , looks to go much deeper , and may even differentiate a whole new history from that geological era .
Wheel Of Time Season 3 Casting Sets Up A Story Set Decades After Lews Therin’s Death
agree to a drop report regardingThe Wheel of Timeseason 3 , 74 - year - old Ania Marson will encounter the part of Latra , a member of the Aes Sedai [ viaWOTseries ] . What ’s interesting about this determination is that Latra already appeared on the show , albeit with a much untested actress in the purpose . Katie Brayben present the character in the Age of Legends scene that introduce Lews Therin inThe Wheel of Timeseason 1 finis . Judging by the significant age dispute , it ’s safe to assume that Latra has n’t exactly been remold ; it ’s more likely thatWheel of Timeis picture a unlike period from Latra ’s animation .
Aes Sedai long time very easy inThe Wheel of Time , which is a sign that any scene with Ania Marson ’s Latra will take lieu several tenner later after the Lews Therin plot line . With that in mind , it would seem thatthe series is gearing up to explore an case that go on sometime after Lews Therin ’s last . That would be a striking determination , count that in the books , what take place between the Breaking of the World and the start of the main narration has n’t been explicitly show in the novels . For that reason , how individual members of the Aes Sedai carried on in the aftermath of the Breaking of the World is largely unknown .
Who Latra Is In The Wheel of Time (She’s Not In The Books)
The lack of scenes devoted to this particular period inWheel of Time’shistory mean that anything covered from it in the show may not be take from Jordan ’s novels . Corroborating that idea is the fact that Latra herself is n’t in the books . She was , however , create by Robert Jordan . Latra Posae Decume ’s only visual aspect in the canon was in Jordan ’s " The smasher at Shayol Ghul,“a 1996 brusque story that provide surplus context on Lews Therin ’s fight with the Dark One during the Age of Legends . In the shortsighted story , Latra was introduced as an Aes Sedai with reservation about Lews Therin ’s leaders .
Ultimately , Latra and Lews Therin wind up leading the Aes Sedai in unlike directions when it came to stopping the Dark One . Both wanted to ensure the Dark One remained sealed , but had pit ideas on the safest way to accomplish that undertaking . Latra exploiter her influence to win over the female Aes Sedai not to assist Lews Therin , forcing him to proceed without them . This was prejudicious to his plan ’s chance of success , and as a result , the manly one-half of the True Source was tainted inWheel of Time . What happen next is a well - live part ofWheel of Timehistory : Lews Therin and his allies developed the madness , stimulate the Breaking , and cash in one’s chips .
Latra and many of the Aes Sedai who did n’t take part in Lews Therin ’s plan outlived the Dragon , but accurate detail on their future tense were vague in " The Strike At Shayul Ghoul . " accord to the story , Latra " rise to a prominence which rival that of Lews Therin before her . “She died during the break of the World , but the lot and exact timing were n’t disclosed [ viaDragonmount ] .
With an erstwhile Latra come out inThe Wheel of Timeseason 3 , it would appear that what bechance her or what experience she had at the time of the Breaking will be showcased , possibly in - deepness , onscreen . As noted above , these result ( as they bear on to Latra ) were n’t in the books , and were only allude to in " The Strike at Shayol Ghul . “The ambiguity surround all this providesThe Wheel of Timeseason 3 with a unequalled opportunity to expand on the Age of Legends ' historyin a way that does n’t drastically change Jordan ’s story .
Lattra’s Return Revives An Unproven Book Theory About Egwene
Adapting " The Strike at the Shayol Ghul " and plunge deeper into what pass off after Lews Therin ’s death could very well be the extent of whatThe Wheel of Timeplans to do with Latra . However , highlighting her role in the Breaking of the World and any extra exposition given to her chronicle will in all likelihood repair sake in an former script hypothesis from the nineties . The release of " The hit at Shayul Ghul " moderate to speculation that Latra was n’t just a throwaway character Jordan create to flesh out Lews Therin ’s past . Rather , it was heavily theorized thatLatra was Egwene ’s Age of Legends similitude .
These theory were based on the phylogenesis of Rand ’s human relationship with Egwene . Although they had started out as each other ’s first honey in the Two Rivers , Rand ’s position as the Dragon Reborn andEgwene ’s rise to great power as the Amyrlin Seatcomplicated their dynamic and mutual cartel . As Egwene became increasingly mire in the political sympathies of the White Tower , her loyalty to Rand waned and the two came to realise that they had different finish . Her foeman to Rand ’s plans in the volume has drawn notable comparisons to Latra ’s return with Lews Therin in the Age of Legends .
With Rand being the reincarnation of Lews Therin , there was at least a basis for the idea that Egwene could be Latra born-again . But even if that was a impression that Jordan was considering , it was never something that was n’t actually espouse later on , since Lattra was dropped after " The Strike at Shayul Ghul . " Depending on how Latra is utilized and the way in which the show approaches Rand and Egwene ’s relationship , there ’s a chanceThe Wheel of Timeacts on this possibility , which could sum a enthralling raw layer to Egwene ’s role .
