Robert Jordan’s beloved high fantasy series
If you don’t know what
How The Wheel of Time Will Be Adapted
We know season one has eight episodes, and showrunner Rafe Judkins has said it will pull from books one, two, and three. It’s likely the events of season one will largely follow though.
Season one’s directors include Uta Briesewitz, Wayne Yip, Salli Richardson Whitfield, and Ciaran Donnelly. Rafe Judkins is serving as showrunner We know titles for the first six episodes: We’ve seen a glimpse of the set in a too-short video. This is a look at The Winespring Inn in Emond’s Field. The village is home to Rand, Perrin, Mat, and Egwene before their worlds turn upside down. It’s fleeting, but just seeing this location made me wipe tears from my eyes. “You want stories?" Thom Merrilin declaimed. "I have stories, and I will give them to you. I will make them come alive before your eyes.”

The weaponry in
is no joke. One notable item is the Heron Mark Blade. Blademasters, masters of sword-based combat, can add the heron mark as a decoration to their blade. And only blademasters are permitted to do this. I don’t want to get into spoilers, so I’ll just say the heron symbol plays into an important moment in the series with our lead character, Rand al’Thor. He carries a Heron Mark Blade, passed down to him from his father Tam. The below video from Amazon Prime Videogoes behind the scenes showing one such blade from book, to sketch, to design, to set.#WOTonPrimeCrafting the blade.
And continuing on weaponry, we have another look at a key blade: the ruby-hilted dagger. We hear the voice of Matrim “Mat” Cauthon say, “All right, let’s make a deal.” In the books, Mat finds this weapon in Shadar Logoth, a pretty freaking evil place. We get a tiny peek at it in the video as well.
