Rand, Matt, and Perin. And numerous other characters. But if you're wondering why the trailer is focusing on Moraine, it's that she's the main character of season 1, as in, most of the events take place from her POV.
I understand the decision to focus on Moraine for the first book, but its going to be really awkward when they make sequel and she become an unimportant side character. Also the whole "woman power" aspect the trailer seem to be pushing is very much gone after the first book, where Rand eventually become an harem protagonist and start collecting wife and side chicks and they cat fight with each other over him.
It seems like I dodged a bullet by never reading the series.
I suspect the protagonist is going to be Egwene based on the trailer. It opens with Egwene jumping in the river, and Moraine's voiceover over the bulk of the trailer is presumably directed at Egwene.
It's been outright stated that Moraine is the protagonist of at least the first season. Looking at the description, from what I can tell, the Dragon is presented as a mystery in the show's original season - like, no doubt it'll be revealed as Rand eventually, but we'll see things unfold from her perspective.
Considering the pacing in parts the series is apparently......I'll be charitable and call it Slow.....I have no doubt there will be some condensing and adapting here.
Got a work buddy that loved this series of books. Not sure it looks like my sorta thing but happy to see fantasy doing relatively well these days.
.
, at least she looks like she could have actual braids here (braids are a very big cultural element in the series, in case people who haven't read it are confused about my focus on it, it denotes marriageability), but I guess I'll chalk it up to "current day", I just want my boi Perrin to wolf down some fools with his axes and other arsenal.
Yeah that reminds me I thought his axes looked pretty stupid in the trailer as well. I've probably been watching Forged in Fire too much but those short, double bladed axes are really dangerous. If he hits a shield or armour with them the reverse blade is going to come straight back at his face.
Fetishy... like bondage and stuff? Not really, there is a female villain who has mind controlled boy toy that she use as furniture, but she's pretty minor.
I wonder how they'll handle most of the women in the books being complete shithouses because Robert Jordan had some sort of serious problem with all women who weren't his mum. And maybe also a few problems with her.
I really, really, fucking hope they've taken liberties with the plot if it's to be any good.
