These are [Gary|Gary Kephart]'s predictions for [Season 2]. They will try to incorporate all the news and hints dropped as well as the new role castings.

Overall, I think the main story line of [Season 2] will be [Falme]. I don't think they'll include [Tear|Tear (City)] and [Callandor] until Season 3.

!! Why Falme?

It's the next big event in the books. I think that having five locations ([Fal Dara], [Tar Valon], [Caemlyn] and [Falme] and something in the [Waste|Aiel Waste]) will push the budget for the season. [Caemlyn] has been [confirmed by CBR|https://www.cbr.com/wheel-of-time-set-tour-season-2-andor/] for [Season 2].

!! Why Not Tear until Season 3?

Having [Falme] and [Tear|Tear (City)], two big events, might be too much for one season. I'm pretty sure it will be included in general because they already gave us a glimpse of [Tear|Tear (City)] in [Episode 106]'s cold open and I can't see Rafe teasing us with just that glimpse and not letting us see the whole thing later.

!! Plot-wise, Why Falme?

There has to be a plot reason for them to go to [Falme]. I think it will be similar to the books. While in the books, [Padan Fain|Padan Fain (TV)] was captured and scribbled a message on the wall of his cell in [TGH,Ch6], I think that in the show, [Fain|Padan Fain (TV)] will stop while leaving [Fal Dara] and scribble the same message on the wall: "We will meet again on [Toman Head]. It is never over, [al'Thor|Rand (TV)]." See the Notes section of [TGH,Ch6] for why [Fain|Padan Fain (TV)] chose [Falme].

!! Padan Fain

[Fain|Padan Fain (TV)] will take almost the same path to get there as in the books, however I believe that the [Waygate|Ways] will be moved from [Cairhien|Cairhien (City)] to [Caemlyn]. He can't use the [Fal Dara] [Waygate|Ways] because it's been bricked up. So he'll just head directly south, bypassing [Tar Valon] and [Cairhien|Cairhien (City)] and on to [Caemlyn].  I don't think we'll see [Cairhien|Cairhien (City)] for budgetary reasons. I don't think we'll see much of [Fain|Padan Fain (TV)] again until the end of the season, except for evidence, like a [Fade] nailed to a door, that he's still headed that way.

!! Moiraine and Lan

[Moiraine|Moiraine (TV)]'s going to be at [Adeleas|Adeleas Namelle] and [Vandene|Vandene Namelle]'s place at [Tifan's Well|Tifans Well] in [Arafel] for a while (like in [TGH,Ch22]). I say this because in the [Decider interview|https://decider.com/2021/12/24/the-wheel-of-time-season-1-ending-explained-showrunner-interview-seanchan-moiraine-amazon-prime-video/], there's this:

%%quote
%%(font-size:16px;)
Judkins referenced the fact that after the introductory chapters of The Great Hunt, Moiraine is rather absent. “In Book 2 she really is in just one chapter, and she’s so limited in what she does. So, we looked at that piece that she has in Book 2 and then we figured out how to take that story that’s told in Tifan’s Well in Book 2 and expand it out to a whole season,” he said.
%%
%%

Since [Tifan's Well|Tifans Well] is west of [Fal Dara], I think she's going to send [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (TV)] and [Egwene|Egwene (TV)] south to the [Tower|White Tower] to be Apprentices while having the others ([Perrin|Perrin (TV)], [Loial|Loial (TV)], [Uno|Uno (TV)] and Ingtar) go south to chase the [Horn|Horn of Valere]. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (TV)] and [Egwene|Egwene (TV)] will go by river to [Tar Valon], meeting [Bayle Domon].

While she's staying with the Namelle sisters, we're going to get some exposition on the [Karaethon Prophecy|Karaethon Prophecies], such as it stating that the [Stone of Tear] will not fall until the [Dragon Reborn|Rand] wields the Sword That Cannot Be Touched (originally in [TEotW,Ch13]).

In [ContentMode|http://www.contentmode.com/daniel-henney/], Daniel Henney had this to say:

%%quote
%%(font-size:16px;)
Lan and Moiraine will be tested. Individually and as a Warder/Aes Sedai unit. They’ll face challenges that have huge implications. I consider season 2 a “journey season” for Lan. He will be faced with many moments and situations that force him to question everything he’s believed in and how he’s lived his life up to this point. It’s really hard for me to not give too much away, but I will say this- 2 swords, multiple fades, blood….lots of blood.
%%
%%

So, like in [TGH,Ch22], she'll send [Lan|Lan (TV)] away, but I'm not sure that the part about her bond to him being passed to another [Aes Sedai] will be included. [This tweet|https://twitter.com/EmilieH05676625/status/1520509578739286016] gave me the idea that maybe [Moiraine|Moiraine (TV)] will send [Lan|Lan (TV)] after [Rand|Rand (TV)] to deliver [Fain|Padan Fain (TV)]'s message. [Lan|Lan (TV)] will track him easily enough, and maybe find him in time to save him from a [Trolloc] or two. This will start [Rand|Rand (TV)]'s training.

[Moiraine|Moiraine (TV)] will find a way to break the [shield|Weaves] that [Ishamael|Ishamael (TV)] put on her.  I bet that [Lan|Lan (TV)] starts returning to [Moiraine|Moiraine (TV)] soon after she breaks her shielding.

Will [Rand|Rand (TV)] go back to [Moiraine|Moiraine (TV)] with [Lan|Lan (TV)] or continue on to [Falme] directly? 

Still looking for a reason that [Moiraine|Moiraine (TV)] and [Lan|Lan (TV)] don't go to [Falme].

!! Min

Min will make her way down to [Tar Valon] in time to be part of the kidnapping like in [TGH,Ch39].

!! Nynaeve and Egwene

[Nynaeve|Nynaeve (TV)] and [Egwene|Egwene (TV)] will be dropped off at [Tar Valon] in time to be part of the kidnapping like in [TGH,Ch39]. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (TV)] will block herself from any more channeling. We already had a hint of that in [Episode 108] when she couldn't hear the wind anymore.

!! Mat

Last we saw, [Mat|Mat (TV)] was entering [Tar Valon]. He'll be captured by the [Red Ajah] and probably be (mostly?) healed of the dagger by some other [Aes Sedai](s). He'll speak the [Old Tongue] during the healing. Mat will meet Gawyn and Galad and have the quarterstaff fight ([TDR,Ch24]). When [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (TV)] and [Egwene|Egwene (TV)] are dropped off, he'll join [Perrin|Perrin (TV)], [Loial|Loial (TV)], [Uno|Uno (TV)] and Ingtar in their chase of the [Horn|Horn of Valere].

!! Perrin, Loial, Uno, Ingtar and Mat

The fivesome will continue to [Caemlyn]. They'll all meet Elayne. Afterwards, they'll take the (moved) [Waygate|Ways] to [Falme]. It could be that the [Waygate|Ways] is blocked by [Machin Shin] and they have to take a [Portal Stone], but I doubt it.

!! Rand

I'm guessing that [Rand|Rand (TV)] will head off into the [Waste|Aiel Waste] and not [Tear|Tear (City)]. I'm not sure what he'll do there, except meet [Aviendha], but [Rhuidean] is too early in the story to happen ([TSR,Ch23]). He'll end up at [Falme], though, for the battle.

!! Thom

No [Thom|Thom (TV)] this season.

!! By Episode

! [Episode 201]

There's a scene showing [Fain|Padan Fain (TV)] writing something on a wall. Then lots of grief from [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (TV)], [Egwene|Egwene (TV)] and [Perrin|Perrin (TV)] over [Rand|Rand (TV)]'s "death". Ingtar is introduced. [Moiraine|Moiraine (TV)] discovers the writing. There's a scene showing [Fain|Padan Fain (TV)] leaving [Fal Dara] in the company of a [Fade] and [Trollocs]. [Moiraine|Moiraine (TV)] tells the [Two Rivers] folk that she and [Lan|Lan (TV)] must leave them to research stuff and that they plus [Uno|Uno (TV)] and Ingtar should continue on south to [Tar Valon] and then follow [Fain|Padan Fain (TV)].

! [Episode 202]

Journey to [Tar Valon]. Something with [Rand|Rand (TV)].

! [Episode 203]

[Tar Valon]. [Mat|Mat (TV)] (mostly?) healed. 
Quarterstaff fight. 
[Nynaeve|Nynaeve (TV)] and [Egwene|Egwene (TV)] arrive, become apprentices, reunite with [Mat|Mat (TV)] and [Min|Min (TV)]. 
We'll meet Verin. [Perrin|Perrin (TV)], [Mat|Mat (TV)], [Loial|Loial (TV)], [Uno|Uno (TV)] and Ingtar leave for [Caemlyn]. Verin joins them. There's no reason for that bunch to stick around [Tar Valon] long.

! [Episode 204]

[Nynaeve|Nynaeve (TV)], [Egwene|Egwene (TV)] and [Min|Min (TV)] kidnapped. Well, like the books, I think only [Egwene|Egwene (TV)] will actually be captured and the other two escape.

! [Episode 205]

Something with [Rand|Rand (TV)].
Something with [Egwene|Egwene (TV)].

! [Episode 206]

[Caemlyn]. We'll meet [Elayne] and [Morgase]. Like others think, I also think that [Morgase] will be relegated to a minor role and her main plot will not be included in the series.

! [Episode 207]

[Caemlyn].

! [Episode 208]

Battle for [Falme]. [Mat|Mat (TV)] will blow the [Horn|Horn of Valere].

!! Other Predictions

There are others out there who have their own predictions. I'll include them here as I find them.
