The series quickly introduced Moiraine Damodred (Rosamund Pike) as an Aes Sedai on a mission.

What choice Moiraine is considering isn’t clear, but it seems to be a big deal.

The opening indicates a continued focus on her, a departure from the book series but a welcome one.

Moiraine helps establish the world’s lore as she is better connected than the other characters.

Based on the trailer, Moiraine is as busy as ever in the upcoming season.

This turn of events amps up the threat as the very thing they were trying to prevent has happened.

One of the Seanchan’s leaders can be seen investigating a seemingly significant box.

Other enemies appear as well.

Liandrin (Kate Fleetwood) of the Red Ajah seems to be up to something nefarious.

Certainly, she is not going to be a friend to the heroes.

With so much danger ahead, Season 2 will undoubtedly be eventful.

Based on the books, the Seanchan featured in the trailer will be part of their story.

She was a notable cut from the first season, making her a welcome presence moving forward.

Perrin and Mat are only seen briefly as well.

This moment shouldn’t surprise fans of the book, who remember Perrin’s supernatural connection to the creature.

Mat appears soon after, still struggling with the dagger that possessed him in Season 1.

The trailer shows him meeting the Amyrlin Seat and exploring his abilities.

Throughout the Season 2 trailer, Rand is full of angst.
