Rand Unites The Aiel As Lanfear Attacks


Warning: SPOILERS ahead for The Wheel of Time season 3, episode 7!A new trailer for The Wheel of Time season 3, episode 8 has been released, revealing what to expect from the last episode as everyone’s stories come to a close. The Wheel of Time season 3 has seen a major focus on Rand (Josha Stradowski) stepping into the role of the Car’a’carn within the Aiel. However, the last time he showed up, tragedy had struck, as an ambush by Sammael (Cameron Jack) resulted in the death of an Aiel child, Alsera (Julie Van Leeuwen). He’s now in a much darker mindset than ever before.

Now, The Wheel of Time has released a trailer for season 3, episode 8, the final episode of the season. In it, Rand is being led to a location called Alcair Dal, a meeting place where he’ll prove himself the Car’a’carn to the Aiel tribes. He also antagonizes Lanfear (Natasha O’Keefe), with many scenes hinting at a battle between her and Moiraine (Rosamund Pike). In another scene, Siuan (Sophie Okonedo) walks into the White Tower throne room, as something very wrong seems to be transpiring. Check out the full trailer below:

What The Wheel Of Time’s New Trailer Means For The End Of Season 3

Major Revelations & Grand Finales Are About The Unfold

Because the trailer is so focused on characters surrounding Rand while confirming Siuan will still be at the White Tower, it seems like the characters in The Wheel of Time won’t be coming together for a grand finale. Perrin (Marcus Rutherford) is still in the captivity of the Whitecloaks, while Mat (Dónal Finn) is still with another group of characters in Tanchico. This season finale will seemingly keep everyone separated as their stories play out, with the Dragon Reborn being of particular focus as he rallies the people of the Aiel Waste around him.

After what happened in The Wheel of Time season 3, episode 6, there’s a good chance that a surprising character will help Rand harness his full power.

It’s unclear what the trailer means for Moiraine, however, who saw an endless number of possible futures that resulted in her death at Lanfear’s hands. There’s no way of knowing if this is what fate has in store for her this time around, or if she’ll manage to escape, living to fight another day. With multiple members of the Forsaken around, now, they could prove dangerous once Rand turns against his former lover. Whether this will endanger his attempt at proving himself the Car’a’carn or be saved for a potential The Wheel of Time season 4 remains to be seen.

As Rand steps into his role as the Car’a’carn, the global dangers he faces, from the Forsaken to enemies in the White Tower, are clearly not going to stop. However, depending on how his journey goes in this final episode, it could determine how he progresses moving forward, and if he can fulfill his part in their prophecy. With The Wheel of Time promising major progression in season 3’s final stretch, there might finally be a glimpse in store of what Rand’s future truly holds.
