Major Book Character in Jeopardy After Wheel of Time Season 3’s Siuan Twist

BBG News

Caution: Contains Spoilers for The Wheel of Time Season 3, as well as potential spoilers for the Wheel of Time books that could be incorporated into future seasons of the show.

In a surprising twist for fans of Robert Jordan’s “Wheel of Time” series, the TV adaptation on Prime Video made a significant alteration in Siuan Sanche’s storyline, which could potentially have grave implications for another key character. The finale of season 3 was chock-full of unexpected events, even for readers who closely followed the books. Generally, these changes in the show are aimed at eliminating extraneous content and streamlining storylines, focusing more on the central characters rather than delving too deeply into Jordan’s intricate world-building.

In Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series, Siuan Sanche is a significant character who lives until the last book. However, in the TV show, she died during its third season instead. This change has left open some critical storylines involving her character, particularly those linked to Egwene, Logain, Gareth Bryne, and others. It’s reasonable to anticipate that these stories might be reworked or completely omitted moving forward. Additionally, we can ponder which other characters may suffer the same fate as Siuan. We’ve already witnessed one example of this alteration in the adaptation.

Why Queen Morgase Could Meet The Same Fate As Siuan Sanche

Morgase’s Next Book Story Has Similarities To Siuan’s In The Shadow Rising

In the third season of “The Wheel of Time,” Olivia Williams portrayed Queen Morgase Trakand, a captivating character known for her ruthless climb to the Lion Throne of Andor. A flashback revealed this brutal conquest. Elayne, another significant character in season 3, is Morgase’s daughter, and she plays an essential role in the book series. Regrettably, it appears that Morgase’s character may meet an untimely end as early as season 4, which will cover “The Fires of Heaven.

Given that season 3 predominantly delved into the happenings of “The Shadow Rising,” it seems logical to move on to the subsequent book next. In “The Fires of Heaven,” we encounter a Forsaken, named Rahvin, who has been masquerading as Lord Gaebril in Andor. He manages to gain the trust of Morgase and her kin, but using his power of Compulsion, he persuades Morgase to expel many of her trusted allies, ultimately leading her to flee from Caemlyn, the capital of her own kingdom. This situation bears some resemblance to that of Siuan Sanche, who faces similar hardships following Elaida’s takeover of the White Tower.

It’s plausible to assume that since Siuan and Morgase both abandoned their positions of power following betrayal, the showrunners might decide to write off Morgase as well. Given the vastness of a series like The Wheel of Time, it’s likely they’ll eliminate supporting characters like Morgase to focus more on the main protagonists. This approach was also seen in Game of Thrones, where characters such as Roose Bolton and Mance Rayder were killed off prematurely, primarily to make room for new cast members.

How Morgase’s Death Would Change The Wheel Of Time Books

Morgase’s Death Would Have A Ripple Effect On Other Characters

In a different phrasing:

Just as with Siuan Sanche, eliminating Morgase Trakand early on in the TV adaptation would bring about significant changes in the storyline. In contrast to the books where she survives the Last Battle, living till the end of the series, Morgase isn’t Queen of Andor at that point, with Elayne taking over as queen instead. This opens up an intriguing possibility for the show to write off Morgase. Instead of abdicating her throne like she does in the books, her death could pave the way for Elayne to ascend to the throne more swiftly and dramatically.

Concerning Morgase’s demise, it is certain that Elayne will experience further grief over her loss. In the novels, Morgase spent a considerable amount of time in exile and hiding, even acting as Faile’s maid at one point. Later on, she played a crucial role in judging Perrin’s trial with the Children of the Light, an event that probably won’t occur in the Wheel of Time TV series. Furthermore, Morgase took part in the Last Battle as a healer, seeking forgiveness for her errors under Rahvin’s sway.
