![]() There’s no time, and they need to go now before the army arrive. One among them is the Dragon Reborn, and with 300 Trolloc inbound, the four need to leave. Moiraine turns to the others and tells them that the Trollocs have arrived for the same reason she and Lan have. Moiraine manages to purge the poison but there’s bigger problems at play here. The village is full of casualties, Nyn has disappeared and Tam is suffering badly from the Trolloc poison. She does manager to conjure enough magic to take out the Trollocs approaching but the damage has already been done. When reinforcements show, Moiraine takes a blade to the shoulder for her troubles. Moiraine shows up with her OP magic level and makes short work of these grunts, turning the tide of battle and granting these villagers the courage to fight back. Unfortunately, Tam is badly wounded in the ensuing skirmish, poisoned with a Trolloc blade. Tam squares off against a lone Trolloc, but it’s Rand who hits the killer blow. These Trollocs, engineered soldiers that are a fuse of man and beast, begin slaughtering the townsfolk. While a festival gets underway, celebrating the passing of the deceased, everything comes to a devastatingly abrupt end. ![]() This warning arrives too late, as Lan approaches Moiraine and urges her to leave. A whole flock of sheep are mutilated, left in an unnerving circle on the ground. Lan finds an ominous omen out in the woods. For now, their conversation is left ominously teetering on a knife-edge. As we soon find out, Nyn’s adoptive mother was cruelly turned away by the Aes Sadai after traveling by foot all the way to their headquarters, the White Tower. Nyn is not exactly taken with Moiraine’s presence and there’s no love lost between them when the pair talk. Kissing turns into so much more though but unbeknownst to them, a strange shadowy figure (whom we later find out is a Myrddraal or a “Fade” as is referenced here) watches over this village from afar. While this is going on, there’s a romance brewing between Perrin and Laila, who totally rip off Star Wars through their: “I love you”, “I know” routine, while Rand and Egwene wind up kissing next to all the washing up. As the Aes Sadai settles in, paying her way for a room, she looks over our diverse rabble of characters before heading upstairs. That is, until Lan and Moiraine show up and spoil the party. There’s a lot of drinking, a lot of laughter and a lot of good times being shared. These four happen to be 20 year old farmer Rand, his longtime companions Perrin and Mat, and the head-strong Egwene. Instead, they’re bound for the Two Rivers, a quaint little medieval village where it’s rumored that Four Ta’veren have just started to come of age. High above though stands Moiraine, who’s adamant this isn’t the man they’re after. This happens to be a hallucination though, and it’s enough incentive for Liandrin to begin torturing him. This man seems to be possessed with magical powers but he struggles to control it, seeing images of an elderly chap by his side. This world is full of magic, typified by Liandrin Guirale, a red robed woman who hunts several men across the rocky wilderness. ![]() This child, whomever it is, must be found before the Dark Lord does. Episode 1 of The Wheel Of Time begins with Moiraine, one of the Aes Sadai, preparing for the coming of the Dragon.
