Rand needs to learn his abilities quickly and in a place where he can be protected.

What Are Siuan and Moiraine Doing in ‘The Wheel of Time’ Season 2?

So, for two decades, these women have done just that.

Moiraine spent her time chasing rumors and ultimately finding Rand.

For her part, Moiraine wants to stick to the original plan, though things have gone slightly bad.

But Siuan seems to think they’ve already failed.

At this point, Rand has known the truth for months and can still barely use his power.

Siuan sees only one way forward wielding control over the Dragon to ensure Light wins in the impending war.

After all, prophecy requires the Dragon Reborn’s presence if there is any hope of victory.

Though it seems that free will is the noble way to go, Siuan is actually in the right.

While they haven’t lost yet, Moiraine’s methods are simply not effective.

Moiraine was supposed to find and train Rand, and she did, in part.

But he’s learned very little.

Accusing Moiraine of failure as Siuan does may be rigid, but it is the simple truth.

Moiraine’s plan of training him didn’t work.

The Wheel of Time

She has no intention of leaving things up to chance, and that is understandable.

The Season 2 finale ofThe Wheel of Timepremieres next Friday on Prime Video.
