![]() ![]() ![]() "According to prophecy and legend, the Dragon will be born again at mankind's greatest hour of need to save the world," it says in Eye of the World, the first book of the Wheel of Time series. He is said to be the reason behind the Breaking of the World. He was a man who could channel the One Power to an extent that even the Dark One feared him. The Dragon is the name given to Lews Therin Telamon or Lews Therin Kinslayer, as he is also known, during the War of the Shadow more than 3,000 years before the show's present. For now, let’s look at what the show has provided for clues as to the identity of the Dragon Reborn. We will deal with the question with the additional knowledge of what happens in the books later. So, even readers of the book might feel the tension of the question despite reasonable confidence that the answer hasn't changed. There have been significant changes, not only to the story so far, but to the lore of the Dragon Reborn as well. (Pipe down in the back.) Though, it’s worth noting that Amazon isn't exactly following Robert Jordan’s version, as any book reader will tell you if you're unlucky enough to get cornered by one after a couple of beers. If you’ve read the book, you know the answer to this question. And they’re far from the only players in the game. ![]() The Dark One wants to find the Dragon and so do the Aes Sedai. Who is the Dragon Reborn? So much of what comes next hinges on the answer to that question. It’s the question at the heart of these early episodes in Amazon’s new series, The Wheel of Time. ![]()
