The Wheel of Time
Summary
A major possibility regardingThe Wheel of Timeseason 3 exchange how Rand acquires his most iconic weapon . InThe Dragon Reborn , the third installment inRobert Jordan’sWheel of Timeseries , Rand al’Thor gets his hands on a potent cock called Callandor . Known as " the blade that is not a sword , " Callandor is one of the most powerful artifacts inThe Wheel of Time’sworld . According to an ancient prophecy , it ’s the weapon Rand is destined to fight back the Dark One with in The Last Battle , thus making it a construction engine block towardThe Wheel of Time’sending .
If the timeline is any indication , the show is approaching the point where Rand should acquire Callandor . However , the current management of the story and the setup forThe Wheel of Timeseason 3creates some interesting knottiness for that scenario . His book opposite number ’s next move after the battle at Falme was to observe Callandor , but the show has n’t put its take on the fibre in the same view . For that reason , it ’s been speculate that the serial will make a significant variety to the story to accommodate its plan for Rand and his allies .
Why Wheel Of Time’s Season 3 Plan Is A Problem For The Books' Stone Of Tear Story
Wheel Of Time Season 3 Would Struggle To Send Rand To Both Tear & The Aiel Waste
at long last what ’s standing in the way ofWheel of Timetelling a book - accurate version of Rand ’s search and acquisition of Callandor is the source material for time of year 3 . Rather than simply adaptThe Dragon Rebornnext , The Wheel of Timeis jump out straight into the fourth account book , The Shadow Rising , which deals with what chance after Rand claims Callandor . That raises significant questions about where on the dot Callandor fit out into the depiction . Of course , there ’s every outlook for season 3 to confabulate multiple piazza on theWheel of Timemap , butCallandor will be far - absent from Rand ’s journey .
Callandor is at the Stone of Tear , a position that Rand spends nigh a whole ledger traveling to in the serial . His address inThe Shadow Rising- Rhuidean - is nowhere near that , as it ’s deep into the Aiel Waste . Andthere ’s no interrogative that the Aiel Waste is where Rand will go in season 3 ; Aviendha identifying him as the Car’a’carn ( the hero of the Aiel vaticination ) pose him up to lead there next , plusRhuidean is a confirmedWheel of Timeseason 3 location . But while it ’s ostensible that Rand will indeed have some version of his arcThe Shadow Risingadapted to the small screen , the same amount of certainty ca n’t be applied toThe Dragon Reborn’sclimactic ending .
This leavesThe Wheel of Timewith a few options as to how it can plow the events at Tear . One possibility is that it letsRand take the Stone of Tearin a shocking season premiere twist , thus avoiding the long wait in getting there . That ’s plausible , but such a growth would be without frame-up . An alternative answer is that it could hold open Rand getting Callandor later on in the timeline . But that too could position challenges , peculiarly since it would negate the impact of this memorable moment . acquire Callandor is how he ’s supposed to initially demonstrate himself to the Aiel , meaning it ’s what makesThe Shadow Rising’sstory possible in the first situation .
The Wheel Of Time Season 3 Could See Rand Claim Callandor While Still In The Aiel Waste
Rand Could Find Callandor Somewhere Else
As controversial a pick as it may be , perhaps the wanton boulevard for the show to navigate would be to move Callandor from Tear to the Aiel Waste . true , meld his narratives fromThe Dragon RebornandThe Shadow Risingwould be extremely eventful in terms of the changes this would squeeze . But , taking this route would be more appealing than forgo Callandor tout ensemble , rushing the write up , or saving it until it no longer count .
As for how this could solve , The Wheel of Timecould incorporate Callandor into an exist part of the lore andThe Shadow Rising’sstory - the access keys . The book add the existence of three ter’angreal - referred to as access keys - which are needed to use the much more knock-down ser’angreal called the Choeden Kal . Acquiring them was built-in toThe Shadow Rising’soverarching plot . But since Callandor is arguably more pregnant in the long run than the approach keys or the Choeden Kal , there ’s a chance the show will substitute the access keys ( or at least one of them ) with Callandor .
Rand Could Fight Asmodean For Callandor (Not Be’lal)
The Wheel Of Time Can Combine Two Massive Fights Into One
IfThe Wheel of Timeseason 3 tasks Rand with finding Callandor instead of one of the Choeden Kal memory access key during his dangerous undertaking in the Aiel Waste , the series would also have a means to blend the close of both books . InThe Dragon Reborn , Rand battled Be’al , a member of the Forsaken who essentially staked out the Stone of Tear for centuries in preparation for the Dragon Reborn ’s arrival . The Shadow Rising , on the other hand , concluded withRand battling Asmodean in Rhuideanover monomania of an access cay . Since Be’lal attend like he ’s break down to be cut fromThe Wheel of Timeanyway , it would make sense for these fight to be unite , particularly if there is n’t room for a right book 3 adaption .
It could be that in the TV variation of these events , it ’s Asmodean - and not Be’lal - who will practice Callandor to lure Rand to him . When their combat ends , it can pave the way for Rand to unite the Aiel . Once he seizes Callandor for himself , congresswoman of the various Aiel kin can recognize Rand as the Car’a’carn , which would be alike - at least tonally - to howThe Dragon Rebornwrapped up at the Stone of Tear .
The Biggest Problem With Wheel Of Time Taking Callandor Out Of Tear
Rand Claiming Callandor Won’t Be As Epic If It Doesn’t Happen At The Stone Of Tear
The candidate of Callandor being relocated for the TV series seems like a doable plan , but that ’s not to say that it would n’t fall without viable critique . Callandor is n’t just an artifactWheel of Timecan move from one position on the map to another without consequence;a key part of what makes this moment so extra for Rand is the Arthurian element of the story . In the Koran , Rand displume Callandor out of the Stone of Tear , bear witness his status as the Dragon Reborn in epic mode . Having this happen anywhere other than the Stone of Tear would cost the show one of the best function ofThe Dragon Reborn’sending .
