Wheel of Time theory reveals that season 3 will cover three books at once

Rather than cover only the fourth installment, The Wheel of Time The next season could conceivably cover the biggest parts of three books in the series. So far, each of the two seasons of the show has served as an adaptation of a specific book by Robert Jordan Wheel of Time Series. Seasons 1 and 2 tell the stories of the first two books, The eye of the world And The big dog. Based on what has been confirmed about the upcoming chapter of the saga, season 3 is breaking the formula by going out of order and jumping to book 4, The Shadow Rising.

However, the schedule of the show for The Wheel of Time Letters can be much more complicated than that. That would make sense, considering that the series is interpreting a 14-book journey from the page to the small screen. A book per season isn’t feasible, but then again, neither is skipping whole books, especially since most are heavy on material that can’t be easily skipped. For this reason, Prime Video shows may be inclined to start combining novels (more so than in the past), and it may be just that with Wheel of Time Season 3’s take on The Shadow Rising.

The Wheel of Time Season 3 would struggle to skip The Dragon Reborn

The ending of The Dragon Reborn is vital to the story

with The Shadow Rising On the horizon, it makes sense to assume that it will begin with Rand leaving Falme for the Aiel Wastes and end as the book does, with him beating Asmodean in Rudian. This is in keeping with the linear approach taken by the show’s first two book adaptations, but the number of important developments in book 3, The Dragon RebornComplicating the scenario immensely.

First, the claim of Callendar is at the Stone of Tears where Belle and Ishmael are killed. Rand taking the sword that is not a sword accounts for a huge part of the Dragon Reborn prophecy, especially since he will need it for the final battle. Not only that, but because Kalandor has a lot to do with why the Aiel accept him as the Kara’karn in the first place. Similar to how book 3 ended, The fight at the Stone of Tear feels tailor-made for a season finaleBut a direct adaptation of The Shadow Rising Would keep that possibility from working out.

Other key storylines of The Dragon Reborn Are Perrin’s party meeting Faile Bashere on the way to find Rand and the time Egwene, Elayne and Nynaeve spend in the White Tower. Both see main characters meeting their main love interests for the first time, with Faile being Perrin’s future wife and Gawyn being the man Egwene falls in love with after getting over Rand. The story also serves as an extra step to Siuan Sanche’s fall and the girls’ journey to become Aes Sedai.

How Wheel of Time can realistically combine The Dragon Reborn and The Shadow Rising

Books 3 and 4 could be combined without much difficulty

When looking at the most relevant content from The Dragon Reborn And what happens in The Shadow RisingIt is clear that To combine the two entries in the series into one, neat, narrative is far from implausible. For example, Perrin’s adventure and meeting can still happen, although with a different goal – return to the two rivers, not find Rand. As for the White Tower plot, Egwene could go back to the White Tower while Elayne and Nynaeve are in Tanchiko fighting Moghedien.

The stone of tears can also be incorporated, despite the challenges. Because of the one power ability known as Traveling (which was teased in The Wheel of Time season 2’s finale), Rand could realistically reach the Stone of Tear even though he’ll be in the Aiel Wasteland for the majority of the season. Theoretically, this season could replace Rand and Asmodean’s fight over the Choeden Kal access key with the siege at the Stone of Tear. Rather than the access key, hThe prize for his battle with Asmodean may be Calandor.

Taking this route could work well, given how The Dragon Reborn is structured. It has its fair share of consequential character moments, of course, but also includes content that doesn’t exactly require the full-time treatment. One example of this is all the time it takes to find Rand. Because Rand himself appears very little The Dragon Reborn, The Wheel of Time Can avoid a long distance for rand by using parts of the story, as opposed to the whole book.

The Fires of Heaven could secretly be a big part of Wheel of Time Season 3

Because like the Dragon Reborn, it is unlikely to get the full-season treatment

While The Wheel of Time would be setting themselves up for a massive challenge by adapting The Dragon Reborn And The Shadow Rising In one season, it could be that The fires of heaven Will actually also be covered extensively. book 5, The fires of heavenSees Rand fighting Rahvin, a member of the Forsaken The Wheel of Time Books and a villain who conspires to take over the Lion Throne from Queen Morgase Trackand.

After all, it should not be forgotten that in a lot of ways, The fires of heaven feels like a “Part two“To The Shadow Risingin that it continues plotlines from the previous book. It chronicles Rand’s experiences in the Aiel Wastes, pits Nynaeve against Moghedien, and explores the fallout of the Aes Sedai coup in the White Tower. This aspect of The fires of heaven Arguably makes it the easiest to blend into season 3’s take on The Shadow Rising. The show that makes more sense than making it the focus of season 4, Especially since there are still a few more books to adapt.

As for The fires of heaven Finally, it is not related directly to The Shadow RisingBut it does tie in The Dragon Reborn. in the dragon reborn, Matt went to Caemlin, which is when Rahvin’s plans first came into focus. But the books diverted his attention from the platinum in The Shadow Rising and did not say anything The fires of heavenwho engaged in an epic battle against Rahvin. Maybe through Matt’s arc in The Wheel of Time In season 3, the series could tell the full story, with Rahvin as its villain instead of Rand.
