10How Did Rand Light His Pipe At The End Of The Series?
In The Final Wheel Of Time Book Rand Lights His Pipe Without Channeling
There are plenty ofburning questions aboutThe Wheel of Time , but the interrogation of how Rand was able to dismount his pipework without channelise in the epilogue of the finalWheel of Timebook is belike the most verbalize about one . unluckily , Jordan wrote this panorama before his death , provide no explanation for his wife / editor program , Harriet McDougal , or Colorado - writer , Brandon Sanderson . Sanderson has confirmed that he has no idea what the answer to this question is , andit seems Jordan intended for it to remain a closed book .
However , Prime Video’sWheel of Timeadaptation is untroubled of making changes , and it ’s possible the show could opt to confirm one of the many theories surrounding Rand ’s unusual index . This seems unlikely , view Jordan seems to have wanted it to remain a mystery , but show and Good Book canyon are separate entities , so it ’s possible to have an answer to this doubt in one canyon and not the other . Still , this secret ever being definitively solved is a long shot .
9Who Is The Mysterious Nakomi?
Nakomi Appears At Shayol Ghul After Rand Fights The Dark One
Another mysteryThe Wheel of Time ’s remain seasonscould unravel is the identity of the orphic Aiel char , Nakomi . Although Nakomi ’s identity was somewhat generally discover byWheel of Timeco - generator Brandon Sanderson , her purpose and identicalness are never revealed within the books themselves . Further , the information fans have been given about Nakomi remains passably vague , so the show could take the chance to exposit more on her identity element .
What is known of Nakomi is that she was carry of the Jenn Aiel — an ancient , supposedly extinct faction of the Aiel — and thatshe is somewhat of an avatar to the Creator , as the Myrddraal called Shaidar Haran is to the Dark One . As such , it ’s pretty surprising that Nakomi ’s role is so limited in the Book . The Wheel of Timeshow should take the opportunity to provide a minute more account as to who Nakomi is and what her role is within this fantasy universe .
8Where Are The Jenn Aiel?
The Ancient Jenn Faction Of The Aiel Is Thought To Be Long Extinct
AnotherWheel of Timemystery — which is nearly colligate to Nakomi — is what happen to the Jenn Aiel . The Jenn are the only faction of the Aiel who did not abandon the pacificist Way of the Leaf after the Breaking of the World , and they were consider to have died off many centuries before the independent series . However , Sanderson confirms in the glossary ofOrigins of The Wheel of Time : The Legends and Mythologies that Inspired Robert Jordanthat the Jenn are still around . See the full quotation on Nakomi and the Jenn below .
I decided that [ Nakomi ] was the Creator ’s version of Shaidar Haran , something Jordan had explained a little in the musical note . A vessel , kind of an avatar , but not quite . Shaidar Haran for the Dark One . Nakomi for the Creator . But again , not really the God Almighty . Something else , something faithful to the Creator — and populate in part by somethingofthe Creator . As many have reckon , her birth is Jenn Aiel . Yes , they ’re still around . A few of them .
Sanderson revealing the continued existence of the Jenn Aiel is somewhat of a jolt for Koran reader , as the Jenn never appear besides Nakomi , and her identity remains a closed book in the novel . With that in brain , it would be great to seeThe Wheel of Timeshow expand on this storyline and bring home the bacon some lucidity as to how and why the Jenn survived for so longin hiding .

7What Did Artur Hawkwing Tell Tuon?
Tuon And The Seanchan Are Descendants Of Hawkwing
One here and now from the books that would be unbelievable to see inThe Wheel of Timeshow is the conversation between Artur Hawkwing and the Seanchan Empress , Tuon / Fortuona . Artur Hawkwing is a famous vanquisher inThe Wheel of Time ’s world , and he is one of the Heroes of the Horn . The Seanchan claim to be the descendants of Artur Hawkwing , who navigate west to form their conglomerate after the conqueror ’s death .

Sanderson has confirmed that their conversation is not a happy one for Tuon , but exactly what ’s say remain a mystery . The Wheel of Timeshow could easy include their conversation , chip in fans what would likely be an extremely comforting scene .
6Where Does The Name Dragon Come From?
There Are No Animal Dragons In The Wheel Of Time
Another fascinating enigma that ’s never explain inThe Wheel of Timebooks is where exactly the name Dragon comes from . It only seems to exist in the context of the Dragon Reborn , and Jordan posit outright before his demise that no animate being dragons survive in his public . This make it impossible to know where the name Dragon comes from in - universe , and makes it even more difficult to decipher the dragon - mould puppet on Lews Therin ’s banner , or the dragon - mould tattoos on the arms of those who yield from Rhuidean .
The Wheel of Timeshow could supply some lucidness on this mystery in a variety of ways . It could bring in the approximation of dragons living in another age ; connote that they are simply folklore , as they are in the actual world ; or make up something entirely original . This would be a fairly easy closed book forThe Wheel of Timeshow to lick if it choose to do so , but with Jordan refusing to provide details on the issue before his death , it ’s likely more likely that this is left alone out of regard for the legendary author .
5How Did Luc And Isam Merge Into Slayer?
Slayer Becomes Perrin’s Greatest Adversary
One of the most excitingcharacters to expect inThe Wheel of Timeseason 3is Slayer , also known as Lord Luc or Isam . The origins of this villain are turbid , but it ’s known that Luc and Isam were once two dissimilar masses who walk into the high liberty chit near Malkier and leave as a individual someone .

Before the pair were merged into Slayer , Luc Mantear was Rand al’Thor ’s maternal uncle , while Isam Mandragoran was Lan Mandragoran ’s cousin-german .
Slayer seems to have parting of both Luc and Isam within him , and he is capable of entering Tel’aran’rhiod — of which he is a master — at will . However , beyond the fact that two humans inscribe the in high spirits passes and one came out , little is fuck about how their soulfulness were unify . It ’s obvious that the Dark One is creditworthy , but the how of it remains a secret . This would be another great storyline forThe Wheel of Timeshow to research in greater particular .
The Wheel of Time follows Moiraine, a member of the powerful all-female organization Aes Sedai, as she leads a perilous quest with five young individuals. Moiraine suspects one among them could be the prophesized reincarnation of a mighty figure destined to either save or doom humanity.
4What Happened To The Mysterious Sharans?
The Sharans Come From The Far East Beyond The Aiel Waste
The Sharans are perhaps the most mysterious finish inThe Wheel of Timebooks , as they do not appear until the final novel , A Memory of Light . They come from a land east of the Aiel Waste and have little to no fundamental interaction with the Westlands . They are known to trade in with Aiel on affair , and Jain Farstrider / Noal claim to have spent time in their country , but they are otherwise absent from the novels until The Last Battle .
What ’s more , it stay nameless what became of these the great unwashed after their defeat at the Field of Merrilor . Presumably , some of them would have know through the battle , but how they are handle with later on remains a mystery , as does nearly everything about them . The Wheel of Timeshow has a chance to include the Sharans a second to begin with , perhaps allow them to take on an expanded rolethat could include a real conclusion for these inscrutable the great unwashed .
3What Happened To Lanfear After Faking Her Death?
Lanfear Was Presumed Dead Until Sanderson Revealed Her Death Was Faked
One of the most disgraceful aspects ofThe Wheel of Timebooks that ’s been let on since the series conclude is the fact thatLanfear bull her death at the end of the serial publication and get away Shayol Ghul unharmed . In the final record book , Perrin arrive at Shayol Ghul to protect Rand , result in an coming upon with Lanfear in which he snatch up the Forsaken ’s neck opening , patently killing her . Lanfear is not seen in the books after this scene .
This make it hard to understand either how Lanfear managed to pull round this , or what happen to her afterward . It can safely be assumed that this meeting was something Lanfear planned — that she want to manipulate her end — and it ’s reasonable to assume that someone that powerful and intimate would be capable of such a exploit , but the interrogation of why remains . Why did Lanfear want to live , and what did she do with her life ? The show should strongly consider further fleshing out this closed book .
2Was Ishamael Ever Truly Locked In The Dark One’s Prison?
Ishamael Appears Sporadically Throughout History After The Dark One’s Imprisonment
Although Ishamael dies inThe Wheel of Timeseason 2 , there is still plenty of room for the show to research his character , specially if he is resurrected as he is in the book . In the show , Rand accidentally frees Ishamael at the Eye of the World , but it ’s of import to point out that some part of him was already free because he was capable to command raven and send dream to Rand and his friends . This beg the interrogative : was Ishamael ever amply locked away ? In the book series , this doubtfulness is even mirky .
Ishamael also appears inThe Eye of the World ’s prologue , which takes place after the Dark One and Forsaken were sealed away , lending further credence to the mind that he was not imprisoned like the others were .
Ishamael seems to be able to sporadically leave his prison in the books , pop up throughout history to incite war and pandemonium . With that in judgment , it does n’t seem like Ishamael was ever imprisoned wholly in either the show or the Christian Bible , but it ’s out of the question to say for sure . This is another surface area in whichThe Wheel of Timeshow would do well to provide some context on Ishamael ’s imprisonment and why it differed from that of the other Forsaken .
1Where Did The Horn Of Valere Come From?
The Horn Of Valere Calls The Spirits Of Legendary Warriors To Battle
With the Horn of Valere appear inThe Wheel of Timeshow much like it does in the books , there is some hope that the Horn could be explain further in the show than it is in Jordan ’s novel . The Horn ’s origins remain a mystery in the novel , andit ’s unclear if it ’s some case of ter’angreal , or something entirely singular . The Horn is at least as old as the Age of Legends , as it was ab initio enshroud during this age , but it ’s unimaginable to ascertain much more about it .
Even though the Horn of Valere has already been blow inThe Wheel of Timeshow , it will return to recreate a crucial role in the last season if the show follows the al-Qur’an . With that in mind , Prime Video’sThe Wheel of Timehas several seasons to expand on the Horn ’s backstory . It would n’t necessarily need to allow for concrete answer about the Horn ’s stemma , as any extra entropy about this mysterious artifact would be welcomed .
