To whet your appetite for the new season, these are the five things that are important to remember from the first season of The Wheel of Time:
- The quest for the Reborn Dragon begins in Two Rivers.
- The villagers are separated on the journey.
- A self-proclaimed Dragon Reborn is found, but it is a fake.
- The party assembles in Tar Valon and Moraine leads them to the place where the Dragon Reborn is to be revealed.
- Rand fulfills the prophecy as the Dragon Reborn and fights what we think is the Dark One in the Eye of the World, breaking the seal and anticipating an even greater war to come.

Based on Robert Jordan’s fantasy book series The Wheel of Time, the eponymous series tells the story of a humble village boy, Rand al’Thor (Josha Stradowski, Gran Turismo), who discovers that he is the Dragon Reborn, a dangerous figure in history who is destined to save the world… or destroy it.
