Is There A Wheel of Time Movie?
JordansWheel of Timenovels appear to be having a bit of a resurgence in recent times.
Besides the show, theres also aprequel movie trilogythats reportedly in the works.
Unlike Middle-Earth or Narnia, there is no official name for the world whereThe Wheel of Timetakes place.
Fans generally refer to the world as either the World of the Wheel or the Randlands.
As the title of the series suggests, time is cyclical here.
The novels take place in a time period called the Third Age, which lasts for about 3,500 years.
Reincarnation is a normal thing and quite central to the story.
One of the more practical elements of this intricate high-fantasy world is the use of magic.
In the story, magic is called channeling and practitioners like Moiraine are called channelers.
Those on the side of good tap into a power source known as the One Power.
Only the Aes Sedai (and therefore, by definition, women) are allowed to channel.
Apart from the One Power, there is another power source called the True Power.
There are also a number of beings with special abilities, the most important of whom are the Ta’veren.
These individuals are focal points for the greater pattern of the world.
This causes the world around them to warp in ways that further the Ta’verens destiny.
In practice, this might appear as unusually good luck.
What is The Wheel of Times Story?
They are joined by Nynaeve al’Meara and Egwene al’Vere and together they make their way around the world.
Its currently unknown how closely the show will follow the events of the book but thats the general gist.
