Here we go…
Three stills from the Wheel of Time S3 finale teaser: Mat Cauthon steps into a redstone twisted doorway ter’angreal, and dissolves away to smoke. Mat holds Min’s sketch of her Viewing of him hanging in a red twisted doorway, with a snake up in the corner.

Can we all agree there’s no way Borderland blade bae doesn’t gonna raise the banner, grab her Maiden crew, gather an army, and march into that Whitecloakkk camp to demand her man back?

Bonus points if she gets to stab Child Bieber again. Luc, too, for good measure.
Faile at the end of the bloody Battle for Emond’s Field, her jaw tight with anger. She stands in the village square framed by her two Maidens, Bain and Chiad to her right and Maksim and Alanna to her left. The blood on her face isn’t just for show—she’s eager to get her hands dirty, and doesn’t have Perrin’s gentle streak.

Ep 307 - The way we’re all trying to figure out if this was a Hodor moment or a Gandalf moment…

Me: “It’s still fine, right? We’re fine, because he’s just going back through. That’s why we’re destroying the bridge, not the Wayga—”

“Who thinks he turns #TheWheelOfTime may learn the truth too late.”
— #KaraethonCycle

Rest well, little Maiden. Life is a dream from which we all must wake. 💔

Will the Car’a’carn bring rain for her harvest to meet his toh? Will Alsera be the first name on Rand’s list?
5 freeze frames from Rand’s battle with Sammael, where he calls down a storm of lightning strikes. Black can be seen pouring through his weaves to indicate the level of corruption on saidin as he channels. Where each image meets, there is white all-caps text containing part of the Karaethon Cycle Prophecy: “Master of the lightnings, rider on the storm, wearer of a crown of swords, spinner out of fate.” 5 freeze frames from Rand’s failed attempt to resurrect Alsera, where he called on the whole of his strength to make her breathe again. His range of emotion goes from shock to anger to fury to realization to defeat. Where each image meets, there is white all-caps text containing part of the Karaethon Cycle Prophecy: “Who thinks he turns the Wheel of Time may learn the truth too late.”

-You fool.- Her voice in his head. Fond but sharp.

“Egwene?”

-Am I not allowed to be a hero, too? …Let go, Rand. Let us die for what we believe, and do not try to steal that from us.-

…And then, he let go.

Ep 6 Theory: Thom will recognize Elayne or Mat in Tanchico, and will tell them where the Black Ajah is hiding. He’ll have heard about the wedding and will be on the lookout for Aes Sedai, and Darkfriends.

🎇 Bonus points if he introduces Mat to Aludra
Min, Mat and Elayne (and Nynaeve in a separate image) walk through the dangerous streets of Tanchico. They are disguised in Taraboner clothes, with their faces veiled to follow custom and hide their identities. The markets are filled with merchants selling all manner of wares, including Illuminators selling fireworks.

So Elaida used Min to get a Sittership, yeah?

♥️⚪️💙

Fails to bribe the Reds, knows she’ll need to usurp them

⬇️

Clocks Min as Siuan’s

⬇️

Baits Min by dropping two truths: Elaida is a seer & she’s planning to call a vote to depose the Amyrlin

(cont)
Elaida Sedai stares down the Amyrlin in the Hall. She’s wearing a deep red gown with grand gold earrings and a large jeweled necklace. Her sight smile is calculating and determined. Siuan Sanche looks at Liandrin, completely unimpressed and unthreatened. Her Tairen tattoo is purposefully visible amidst the layers and layers of gold. These were the last moments before her control as the Amyrlin Seat crumbled. Min Farshaw watches Galad and Gawyn spar in the Warder’s yard as she drinks. She’s dressed in white as a servant of the Tower as she spies for Siuan. She is haunted by the images of death and battle she’s been seeing in Tar Valon, and leans on her old vice: alcohol. Leane looks at Liandrin with bottled rage. She wears blue as Keeper instead of her traditional neutral tones as a slight to the Reds and to Liandrin specifically. She will vent her anger on the traitors that come for her Mother.

DESERT DIVA DRIP JUST DROPPED 🌵🏜️

“ #Sevanna is as wily and untrustworthy as any Shaido ever born.”
- Rhuarc, The Shadow Rising (Ch 49)
Sevanna, Wise One of the Shaido Aiel, in the rocky deserts of the Aiel Waste. An elaborate headpiece frames her face, and she’s littered with as much jewelry as she can carry. Her black dress is how you know she’s Shaido. Close up of Sevanna and Couladin. You can see the details of her necklaces and the intricate weaves of his cadinsor (Aiel word for work clothes). Shaido wear darker shades than any of the other clans. Sevanna, with her headdress backlit by the desert sun, cacti around her and the spears of Rhuidean behind her. Sevanna’s entire outfit, head to toe, next to Moiraine’s more practical travel clothes. The spears of Rhuidean circle behind them.

AND HER NECKLACE 😭😭😭

They’re coming for my mental health with this one.
Reply comment by @wanderingsylph regarding Egwene’s Accepted Test necklace: “@bs_cal it's an opal, a rainbow gem which is the national gemstone of Australia. Madeline is Aboriginal Australian. The rainbow necklace is also a nod to how the Amyrlin seat wears a stole that contains all colours in the books because the Amyrlin is meant to represent all Ajahs. Finally the stone has a ‘vein of gold’ running through it, which is a reference to one of the most beautiful scenes in the later book series. A LOT of symbolism in just one necklace.” Selfie shot of Ceara Coveney (Elayne), Madeleine Madden (Egwene), and Zoë Robins (Nynaeve). In Egwene’s Accepted Test, as Amyrlin, she wears a gold dress with reflective golden flames and a large opal with veins of gold at her throat. The armor that bends back from around her neck is reminiscent of her breaking out of the Seanchan a’dam. Elayne’s gold armor has a rose for the Rose Crown of Andor, and she wears green for her pledged ajah. Her hair is braided in a ring atop her head, in place of her actual crown. Nynaeve wears silver armor and bright yellow pants with a flower pattern, for her pledged ajah. Her horse also has silver flowers in its bridle, a nod to her healing arts, though she doesn’t wear a Two Rivers braid or the Wisdom’s belt.

The FLAME of TAR VALON on her belt and bracers, and in the gold detailing?? And the aura on our girl to match. 😭
Madeleine Madden as Egwene al’Vere during her Accepted Test. She poses on the rocky banks of a blue-green river, lush mountains rising on the far beach. She wears a Two Rivers braid and a gold Aes Sedai ring overtop her riding gloves. A second angle in the same setting. The gold detailing on her Amyrlin gown catches the light. Her gold cuffs and belt all form the Flame of Tar Valon.

Cairhienin known for being quite pale, so appreciate the extra costuming detail of Moiraine’s hat while she’s in the Waste. She lookin cute, playing Daes Dae’mar with the Aiel.

Definitely keeping her House hidden in the Waste, tho. Forget wetlanders, she’s a whole Treekiller.

Alviarin stone cold—all that and she didn’t even B L I N K. Blowing up your spot over some petty nonsense?? Couldn’t be her.

Also, does the One Power…do dry cleaning? The Whites gotta have a secret weave for stain removal, because how…?
Three stills from the same scene sit stacked on top of each other in order of appearance. In each one, the same White Sister can be seen calmly watching chaos, her hands folded before her. In white letters atop the images reads, “who’s the coldest…” In the first image, Alviarin can be seen turning to watch Alanna in the hallway. In the second, she enters the Hall with the other Sitters of her Ajah. In the third, she sits quietly observing Liandrin’s trial with an almost two-serene expression. Three still images from two different scenes, Liandrin’s trial and Egwene’s Accepted Test. Alviarin can be seen in all of them, with the same dress, earrings and hair. In white text over the images, from top to bottom, it reads: “…of them all”. In the first, it’s unclear if Alviarin is sharing a look with her fellow White Sitter or looking past her at another Aes Sedai in the circular Hall. In the second photo, she throws up her hands as blood splatters all over her dress and the stone seats behind her. In the third, Egwene emerges from her Accepted Test covered in blood and Alviarin doesn’t react, just stands there with her hands clasped. Still image from the Wheel of Time Season 3 cold open, where Alviarin sits in the Hall of the White Tower. She wears a pure white asymmetrical dress and cape, with chunky hoop earrings of the same color. Her raven black hair is neatly braided in two low buns, giving Princess Leia at fashion week.

Callum Kerr as Galad Damodred, sparring with his brother Gawyn in Season 3. A shirtless, arrogant young man in white taunts his opponent in the Warder’s yard. An adoring crowd of novices, Accepted and Aes Sedai clap as they spectate. Galad Damodred fanart by Seamas Gallagher. A serious, handsome young man dressed in Whitecloak robes and silver armor.

Josha Stradowski as Rand al’Thor with the text “The Wheel of Time” and where/when Season 3 drops (March 13 on Prime). Surrounded by the dunes of the Three-Fold Land, Rand looks suspiciously over his shoulder with his fists balled tight. His image is slowly disintegrating into sand on the winds of Time as he discovers his ancestral Aiel roots. Marcus Rutherford as Perrin Aybara with the text “The Wheel of Time” and where/when Season 3 drops (March 13 on Prime). Surrounded by the mountains of Manetheren, Perrin stares straight down the lens with his golden eyes, gripping a battle axe in one hand and a forge hammer in the other. His image is slowly breaking down into the leaves of the Two Rivers wilderness as he steps up to defend his homeland. Dònal Finn as Mat Cauthon with the text “The Wheel of Time” and where/when Season 3 drops (March 13 on Prime). Presumably in Tanchico, Mat looks up pensively while a ghostly image of him remains turned away in thought. His image is smeared and blurred as Mat tries to pull his broken pieces and shattered memories back together.

✅ Rhuarc
✅ Alviarin
On a rocky overlook in the Three-Fold Land, the Aiel lead Rand, Moiraine, Lan and Egwene to Rhuidean, their holy city. The Wise Ones are adorned with jewelry, the warriors all carry spears, but the man leading out front next to Rand is Clan Chief Rhuarc. The beginning of Egwene’s Accepted Test, as three Aes Sedai activate the Arches with blue weaves of saidar. Four women can be seen standing in the middle of the room beside Egwene, the Keeper Leane, the Amyrlin Siuan, and a White named Alviarin.

🤔 Assumed: Amico, Temaile, Faolin or Rianna (RIP)

❌ Unknown: S1 Red Sister??

♥️ The Other Reds, based PURELY on vibes: Teslyn, Pevara
Still image of Liandrin linking with the other Black Ajah Sitters to overpower the Amyrlin in the Wheel of Time S3 cold open. Liandrin is dressed in red and black with blood smeared over her face in a joker smile as fiery weaves of the surround her. White text at the bottom reads “Liandrin’s Black Sisters”. Split screen of 6 Aes Sedai images from the Wheel of Time Season 3 cold open teaser. Liandrin’s defectors are all dressed in the colors of their Ajah with their names below in white text: Joiya (Gray), Ispan (Blue), Amico and Chesmal (Yellow), Jeaine (Green) and Nyomi (Brown). Split image with 3 Aes Sedai and an image of 7 Black Ajah standing in the streets of Tar Valon, ready to battle. Some look smug, others look serious, and Liandrin is still burned and bloody from facing the Amyrlin. I attempted to identify each of the Tower defectors, using the series to make educated guesses. Left to right on the top, an unknown Red Sister from Season 1 in military-style red clothing. The White Sitter with the textured high-collar was killed by Leane in the Hall. The smiling woman in the back looks like a Gray Sister, so it’s probably Temaile. Split image of Aes Sedai Sitters of all ajahs walking into the Hall. Two unnamed Reds wait outside, richly dressed in their colors. The first has a large gold brooch and a beauty mark beneath her left eye. The second has short coiled hair and a sharp expression.

I have to imagine #WoTSkies is filled with people who are equally disturbed by what’s happened, what comes next…

✨ Remember Rand’s #TarmonGaidon speech: WE are the ones who still fight.
✨ Hold onto Egwene’s courage and words: “Am I not allowed to be a hero, too?”
Rand stands strong against the skies of Falme in his blue and gold Cairhien coat, his face smudged with ash and dirt from the battle. A defiant Egwene in her damane collar and grays, being marched by the sul’dam to the Tower of Falme.
