! Forsaken

[{Image src='Comic-Con 2022/Forsaken.png' link='https://twitter.com/AnCaldazar/status/1550292765459841025' width='400' style='border: 1px solid black;' alt='Q: Blink twice if we see more than one Forsaken! A:blink blink'}]

I didn't have any [Forsaken] in my [predictions|Season 2 Predictions], but it's nice to know that there will be more than one. Maybe I'll add something for [Lanfear] and [Rand] and maybe [Semirhage] with the [Seanchan], which is who we might be seeing in screenshot 32.

! Quarterstaff Fight

[{Image src='Comic-Con 2022/Quarterstaff.png' link='https://twitter.com/WoTUp5/status/1550293675082747905' width='400' style='border: 1px solid black;' alt='Q: I have to ask. Gawyn (and I guess the lesser brother Galad) actually beat Mat in the warder training yard in the show right? Theres no way they lose on screen is there? A: This is an iconic scene from the book and we are building to a believable version of it in the show.  Hopefully.  Ha.'}]

Confirmation that the quarterstaff fight is in [season 2]. I had that in there already, so no changes to the [predictions|Season 2 Predictions].

! Moiraine and Lan

[{Image src='Comic-Con 2022/Moiraine and Lan.png' link='https://twitter.com/lionesswisd0m/status/1550295842107674630' width='400' style='border: 1px solid black;' alt='Q: What is the journey like for Moiraine and Lan in season 2 with their bond still masked'}]
