One thing we do know is that by the time this season is over, we will know who the Dragon Reborn is.

It would be a pretty big change to have the literal Dark One just hanging out at the Eye of the World, though. Perhaps it will take elements from both versions. It’s hard to know which version of the Eye of the World we’ll see on the show. The closest thing to that is Shayol Ghul, a great black mountain from which the Blight spreads. The Eye of the World, the first novel in Robert Jordans 1 New York Times bestselling epic fantasy series, The Wheel of Time®, follows Moiraine Damodred as she arrives in Emonds Field on a quest to find the one prophesized to stand against The Dark One. In the books, the Eye is not where the Dark One is imprisoned. They also encounter Someshta, the Guardian of the Eye constructed by the Aes Sedai long ago. In the books, Moiraine takes the Two Rivers folk to the Eye to determine for certain which of them can channel. These include the the Dragon Banner of Lews Therin, the previous Dragon and the Horn of Valere. DeSantis said in that interview that Disney was free to take a stance, but not to force us all to subsidize their activism. This spot was created by a male and female Aes Sedai thousands of years ago shortly after the Dark One tainted saidin, the male half of the true source. It contains a pool of pure, untainted saidin, as well as artifacts left over the Age of Legends. On the page, the Eye of the World is a spot in the Blight, a barren land heavy with the influence of the Dark One. There, she intends to force a confrontation between the Dark One and the Dragon, perhaps ending an apocalyptic war before it starts.īut what exactly is the Eye of the World? Well, it depends on what text you’re looking at, because it doesn’t sound like the Eye of the World on the show is the same as the Eye of the World from Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time books. Her plan is to take to the Eye of the World, where Siuan Sanche told her the Dark One is recuperating. At the end of the most recent episode of The Wheel of Time, Moiraine stepped into a Waygate along with the five four kids she took with her from the Two Rivers, one of whom is the incredibly powerful Dragon Reborn.
