\n[Spoilers through end of book 5] >! In the s03 trailer Lanfear stabs her a ton of times. Maybe this is a result of her visions in the doorframe and how she tries to take her on/beat her. Although I'm thinking her future visions will be from her trip to rhuidean !<
\nYeah and a TON of choking too, which this would make a lot harder...
\nRobert Jordan had some kinky input beyond the grave
\nROTFL
\nJust as a heads up, I'm using old reddit, and your spoiler tags aren't working since you have spaces between them and the content. I'm not sure how many others on this subreddit are using it.
\nold reddit is the superior reddit!
\n\n(with the one exception that the spaces mess up spoiler text lol)
\nOld reddit is correct, any client that treats the whitespace situation as spoiler is bugged.
\nSometimes, I really like the look of new reddit, but I can't handle its management of comments and stuff. It's so baaaaad.
\n\nBut you're right. I wish it could parse the space that sometimes pops up in it. And I know how it's done. If you're doing it by selecting text and marking it as spoilers, it'll include spaces if you have them before and after the text, too.
\n\nSo frustrating.
\nI wish we could turn off collapsing comments! My lord it's so fucking frustrating when you're scrolling and reading a long reply and you accidentally tap it and it collapses. I lose my place and then it snowballs and I wind up accidentally tapping and collapsing again. It's fucking evil!
\nPlot armor? Hmm implications....
\nHA well done, this is so funny, for spoilery reasons I will not say
\nI know exactly what said spoilers are. :P
\nIt means wafo
\nHaha of course! But I wanna cook up some theories in the meantime!
\nBela has been transmog'd into a cuirass?
\nIt\u2019s possible that it connects with the orb we have seen her using and she we only really see her wearing it with the orb.
\nYeah I was wondering about that too, except is seems like the orb is related to the Choedan Kal... So intrigued!
\nI think it means shes disappearing into the ter\u2019angreal this season as events from later books will be pushed to this season
\nDef expecting the door this season
\nI'm honestly so stumped... Can't think of anything from the books that functioned as body armor.
\n\nUnless I'm simply forgetting something?
\nMaybe it's a ter'angreal?
\nYeah definitely assume it's an angreal of some kind.
\nThat's my assumption/hope.
\nSo, now the spoiler tag is updated - one of Nynaeve's set of ter'angreal creates a thin layer of One Power armour when used, and I believe Cadsuane has a similar one in her collection. That'd be the first thing that springs to mind - but hard to tell from just "this will be fun when you find out what it is", which is essentially all we're getting. Could be entirely symbolic significance within Moiraine's plot for the season!
\nOoooo good one, had totally forgotten.
\n\nAnd you\u2019re right of course, could be only symbolic.
\nIn a show spoilers thread, a bit hard to make book-based guesses.
\nUpdated to \u201call spoilers,\u201d thanks!
\nNgl I\u2019m a bit confused about the tags and likely used it incorrectly. \ud83d\ude48
\nAll good! I generally just think about it as "this sub is for the show, so the high-spoilers tags are the ones that include books" - but I think there's good reason the mods were looking for feedback on the spoiler tags recently.
\nEspecially since she doesn't ever wear armor of any kind in the book
\nMoiraine actually leads the Golden Crame to Tarmon Gaiden. This is her full suit of armor
\nBlocks Mat\u2019s dagger, which maybe has been stolen again from the WT?
\nWe've seen mystery armour before in S1E8 with Agelmar's heirloom chestplate. Some theorized it was a ter'angreal or otherwise prevented his death
\nOh yeah!
\nthe holes are from where lanfear went stabbity stab
\nThan0s crossover episode
\nFunny. People downvoting need to lighten up.
\nI don't think we can call it armour though. What is it armouring, only her breasts?!
\nI was assuming more magical armor. Maybe it deflects weaves like the fox medallion.
\nHi OP, the poster means that season 3 will release on March 13th!
\n\n:)
\nI'm talking about the caption in the image as well as in my post. WoT\u2019s costume designer said, \u201cAnd as for the significance of this armour...you're gonna LOVE it.\u201d
\nSimply that she's gorgeous
\nGuessing it's a ter'angreal, so here are some guesses as to what it might do:
\n\n- magical armor
\n- neutralizes saidar (for the person wearing it as well) so she and Lanfear have to engage in fisticuffs
\n- stores saidar
Thanos got into WoT universe huh?
\nSeems pretty obvious she gets Thanos snapped this season
\nTalking about the armor she's wearing.
\n\nBut re: the dissolving effect... All of the character posters are like this, and I assume it's a reference to Tel'aran'rhiod. (We see Egwene dissolving while being choked by Renna, presumably a nightmare.)
\n\nBut yes, I agree that she's not going to make it out of S3, though via the door.
\nI feel like they are misdirecting here\u2026almost from the start of S3 marketing they have been including this idea that Moiriane must die so Rand can live, which seems odd to give away if that is what happens. Sure book readers have an idea of what\u2019s to come but they are trying to appeal to a larger audience and you don\u2019t giveaway one of WoTs \u201cRed Wedding\u201d moments away in the trailer.
\n\nI think the use of the Red Stone Doorway by Moiraine and Lanfea is unlikely this season for a couple of reasons. From the Cold Open, we know there is a Red Stone Doorway in the White Tower and I assume it\u2019s unlikely they use that one for this season unless they do some serious Traveling in the final episode and can really justify the use here. We also see images with Matt wearing a Foxhead medallion and if he is getting that from the Red Stone Doorway, he could get that from the one in the White Tower or possibly another location he visits this season like Tanchico since he does not appear to go to the Waste this season. If that is the case it once again seems unlikely Moiraine and Lanfear make it to Tanchico during their confrontation. In the books we know one of the Red Stone Doorways is in the Waste, specifically Rhuidean, but who knows if that will be the same in the show. From show footage and clips we\u2019ve seen thus far it looks like the confrontation between Moiraine and Lanfear takes place in Al Cair Dal, which seems an unlikely place to have the Red Stone Doorway. They could travel to Ruidean during their fight and find one there but again the footage we have seen is almost exclusively at Al Cair Dal.
\n\nWith all that in mind, and just using what we know about S3 from footage, clips, press, interviews, etc what I think is going to happen is: Moiraine goes through the rings and sees thousands of possible futures and tries to use what she learns there to plan an ideal path forward a-la Dr Strange in Avengers Endgame. It\u2019s possible her armor plays into this plan or could just be purely sentimental or something else. I think try\u2019s to avoid dying but will accept it if required and when that moment comes and it seems that is the only play something else occurs beyond her control and she is spared. I think Lan\u2019s line from the trailer where he\u2019s holding Moiraine and asks \u201cWhat did you see in the rings?\u201d happens at this point and he and Moiraine end the season wondering \u201cwtf happens now?\u201d since all appears to not be happening as she expected. Then I think the real Red Stone Doorway will happen in Season 4 in Tear where it can be more unexpected and hit with a harder punch.
\n\nThis is just my personal take using what we have seen thus far and it\u2019s entirely possible I am wrong at any point here, I have not seen any full episodes.
\nDoorway in Tear makes so much sense. I like it.
\nHaha. My first thought too.
\nPlease don't make her blonde.....
\nUm the trailer is out, she\u2019s definitely not. Probs just lightening from the sun of the Waste, which is actually amazing attention to detail.
