THE WHEEL OF TIME – Season 1 Episode 6 – SPOILERS
![Peter De Jersey and Keira Chansa - The Wheel of Time](https://b3541717.smushcdn.com/3541717/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Peter-DeJersey-Keira-Chansa-The-WheelOfTime-106-350x196.webp?lossy=0&strip=0&webp=1)
Young Siuan (Keira Chansa) and her father Berden (Peter De Jersey)
Moiraine (Rosamund Pike) has been on a secret mission for the Amyrlin Seat (Siuan Sanche, played by Sophie Okonedo) to locate the Dragon Reborn. (Siuan and Moiraine were the only ones present years ago when another Aes Sedai, Gitara, saw the rebirth in a vision, and that prompted Moiraine’s mission.) Siuan, who was a Blue like Moiraine before ascending to the Seat, says that if the other sisters were to find out about their pursuit of the new Dragon, they would both be “stilled” (the female equivalent of being “gentled”).
Moiraine and Siuan are the first lovers in the series. They have been together for quite some time, and their relationship must be kept secret, mainly to preserve the illusion of the Seat’s impartiality. After masking her connection to her warder, Moiraine uses the One Power to somehow teleport (?) into her lover’s chambers. She tells Siuan that she has found the Dragon but isn’t sure which of five people it is, and is considering the possibility that the Dragon’s talents have been split between several of them, having heard from a gleeman the tale of a “many-headed dragon”. (Siuan‘s name is structured similarly to the name of the son of Arent, Loial. It has three vowels with a consonant on each end. It is an oddity. I like oddities.)
