It is here that Mat obtains the ruby-hilted dagger that begins to corrupt him.
Superficially, the dagger’s ruby has traditionally been depicted set in the pommel of the dagger.
A more interesting change comes in the form of its abilities.
At the end of Season 1, the Ogier Loial is seen being stabbed with the dagger.
At least, that’s how it goes in the show.
InThe Eye of the World, the party reconvenes in the city of Caemlyn, the capital of Andor.
Here, a similar scene unfolds with a troupe of Aes Sedai carting in a caged Logain.
Elayne is confirmed for Season 2, but there is no official confirmation of Caemlyn appearing.
She could be introduced at the White Tower.
If this change is not walked back, it will significantly affect who can dive into the Waygates.
This change is a drastic departure from the book, but one that had to occur in the show.

However, it is possible she was shielded from the Power, rather than cut off entirely.
Either way, this is a major change from the book.
Moiraine never loses her ability to channel in the novels.
Rand may head for the city of Tear, accelerating his story into the third book’s storyline.
