The Wheel of Time Trivia

1. Which Sister does Nynaeve attack with the One Power in a fit of rage?

From Quiz The Girl with the Antidote

Answer: Liandrin Guirale

Liandrin, a Red Sister, catches Nynaeve practising channelling with dirty water and calls her a 'disappointment' because she's been wasting time with swords. Nynaeve says she's learned more from the Warders than she has from the Aes Sedai, and Liandrin creates a sword with the One Power, only to get rid of it because she doesn't need a sword to fight. She pins Nynaeve against a wall and mocks Warders, calling them 'glorified dogs', but when she mentions Lan, Nynaeve loses her temper, channels and copies Liandrin's own weave, flinging her into the opposite wall. Impressed, Liandrin shields Nynaeve and tells her she wants her to use her anger to become powerful.

Answer: Liandrin's son

Sheriam Bayanar, the Mistress of Novices, and Alanna argue over whether Nynaeve should be allowed to undergo the Accepted Test. Sheriam thinks she is strong enough, but Alanna and her Warders are worried that it is dangerous, especially as Nynaeve can only channel when she is angry or scared. Meanwhile, Nynaeve searches for Liandrin and follows her to a house, and catches her in the act of giving an old man crimson thorn, a poison that Liandrin mistakenly thinks is a painkiller. Nynaeve had assumed the man is a channeller and Liandrin was trying to kill him, and warns her that the crimson thorn will hurt the man. Liandrin hits Nynaeve and screams at her to get out. We then learn that the man is her son; because the Aes Sedai age more slowly than normal humans, Liandrin appears to be physically younger than him.

From Quiz 2.1 "A Taste of Solitude"

Answer: Illian

The banter between Bayle Domon (Julian Lewis Jones) is of two people familiar with each other, but it is obvious that Domon is trying to make a profit, trying to sell her a piece of broken heartstone (Cuendillar), found in Cairhien. The only other time we have seen such a thing was at the end of the first season, when Rand inadvertently released the Forsaken Ishamael (Fares Fares) from his prison. But Moiraine is more interested in the poem that Domon found written at the site, which revealed the identity of the newly released Forsaken.

Answer: Egwene

Liandrin melts down Nynaeve's ring and gets into a confrontation with Egwene, who thinks Liandrin wanted Nynaeve dead. Egwene tries to channel into the arches to get Nynaeve back, but Elayne warns her that it won't work and that she is potentially throwing her life away. The two girls sleep in the room with the arches. Meanwhile, Nynaeve is revealed to be married to Lan and they have a daughter, Elnore. Perrin plays with the little girl and Mat comes to visit; Egwene is not there, as she is now an Aes Sedai and is on a mission with her fellow Green Sisters. At dinnertime, a horde of Trollocs attack and Nynaeve hides Elnore in the cellar, and grabs an axe. Although she kills a Trolloc, Mat, Perrin and Lan all die and Nynaeve screams in grief when Lan bleeds out, channelling and killing all the Trollocs. The arch appears again and another horde of Trollocs arrives, and Nynaeve runs out of the arch, carrying Elnore. Back in the White Tower, she comes out covered in blood and crying. Egwene wakes up and comforts her.

Answer: The Horn of Valere

The Horn of Valere, said in the mythos of the world of "The Wheel of Time" to be able to bring back the Heroes of the Ages, was kept hidden by the ruling family of Fal Dara. When the Trolloc's threatened to overwhelm Tarwin's Gap, the Horn was unearthed, with the anticipation of being used in what they thought might be the Last Battle. Instead, treachery allowed the fortress at Fal Dara to be breached by Padan Fain and two Myrddraal, and they killed and wounded a number of people in the process of stealing the Horn. Perrin (Marcus Rutherford) was unable to stop him, and felt motivated to stay with the Shienarans as they began the quest to retrieve the Horn. Loial is portrayed by Hammed Animashaun.

From Quiz 2.1 "A Taste of Solitude"

Answer: Liandrin Guirale

Compared to the novels, Liandrin Guirale Aes Sedai (portrayed by Kate Fleetwood) takes on an expanded role and is fleshed out more as a character. She is seen in the series taking an active interest in Nynaeve's training, and in "A Taste of Solitude" drives Nynaeve to use her abilities in a rather unorthodox manner. When Nynaeve sees Liandrin sneak out of the White Tower by a secret tunnel, she follows and witnesses Liandrin visiting an old, dying man... evidently her son. This really strikes home to Nynaeve exactly how long-lived Aes Sedai are, despite how young many of them may seem. The scene also gives some insight into Liandrin's underlying motivations for how driven she is.

From Quiz 2.1 "A Taste of Solitude"

Answer: Bel Tine

Just as in the first episode of the first season, the Two Rivers folk take time to celebrate the lives of their loved ones, those that they have lost, and those of previous generations. And believing Rand to have been killed at the Eye of the World, they include a prayer for him as they light the traditional lanterns for Bel Tine.

From Quiz The Girl with the Antidote

Answer: An a'dam

Ryma warns Elayne and Nynaeve that the Seanchan have people searching for them, and that their descriptions have been passed around. Nynaeve is suspicious of Ryma, as Liandrin's betrayal has made her paranoid that other Aes Sedai might be Black Sisters. Ryma shows Elayne and Nynaeve a collar and bracelet - an a'dam - and tells them they need to find a way to open it. They have to be careful when channelling, as damane can sense it. Ryma explains that the Amyrlin sent a group of sisters to investigate the Seanchan. She managed to get the a'dam, but paid a heavy price; two sisters were killed and one, a Sitter of the Blue Ajah (revealed to be Maighan), was collared. Ryma still has their rings. Nynaeve, Ryma and Elayne channel power into the a'dam and when Nynaeve channels, she realises that the a'dam needs to be 'healed' by putting it on a woman. Unfortunately, a damane detects the channelling and Ryma orders the girls to leave, giving them the rings. She and Basan go outside to make the Seanchan think she was the channeller they detected, and though she and Basan fight, Nynaeve and Elayne watch in horror as Basan is shot dead and Ryma is collared.

From Quiz 2.1 "A Taste of Solitude"

Answer: Liandrin Guirale

In the penultimate episode of the first season, Mat left the rest of the group when they traveled through the Ways. After reaching Fal Dara, Moiraine sent a message to the Red Ajah in the White Tower, suggesting that someone should track him down, for his own good. When Mat chose not to follow the group, Moiraine was worried that perhaps he had not fully recovered from his Healing from the effects of the Shadar Logoth dagger... and perhaps there were still ill effects? Liandrin mentions such to Mat in her conversation with him, but it seems obvious that she has other motivations concerning him. In the many months that Mat has been sequestered in the White Tower, Liandrin made no mention of the fact that Nynaeve and Egwene were also there, undergoing training. Matrim Cauthon, originally portrayed by Barney Harris in season one, was replaced by Dónal Finn for the second season.

From Quiz The Girl with the Antidote

Answer: "Fits well, don't you think?"

While in hiding, Nynaeve and Elayne run into Loial, who has been captured by the Seanchan, and he tells them how to get to the damane kennels, but warns them only sul'dam can get in. Nynaeve ambushes Seta and puts the collar on her, and Elayne knocks her out. Nynaeve steals Seta's clothes and forces her to dress up as a damane, and interrogates her about the kennels. The Whitecloaks invade Falme and attack the Seanchan, and Seta is shot dead by an arrow, removing the bracelet from Nynaeve's wrist. Meanwhile, the tower where the damane are standing is hit by catapults and multiple damane and sul'dam are killed, but Egwene and Renna both survive the attack. Renna lays into Egwene, blaming her for the attack. Egwene takes the collar of a dead damane and puts it on Renna, revealing what she has realised: that sul'dam can channel. When Renna tries to attack Egwene, she gets a taste of her own medicine when Egwene hangs her from a pillar by her collar. Renna dies and Egwene is freed.

From Quiz 2.1 "A Taste of Solitude"

Answer: Cut his hair

Knowing that he will be the target of Darkfriends and Shadowspawn, Rand makes the effort to hide his familiar red hair by cutting it close to the scalp. In this first episode, we only see him briefly as he steps out of the darkness in an unknown city and lights a lantern for Bel Tine.

From Quiz 2.1 "A Taste of Solitude"

Answer: Four Myrddraal

Currently without the ability to channel the One Power, Moiraine has shoved Lan away from her. Thus when she decides to leave in the middle of the night, she is unprotected when three Myrddraal attack her from out of the shadows. She manages to briefly hold her own, killing one of the Fades, but is injured by another before Lan arrives. Lan joins the fray and beheads one Fade before having to duel the remaining two at the same time. Despite his skill, the two Myrddraal overwhelm him, and only the arrival of Verin Sedai and her Warder Tomas (Heikko Deutschmann) saves them from death.
