Overall, I think the main story line of [Season 2] will be [Falme]. I don't think they'll include [Tear|Tear (City)] and [Callandor] until Season 3.
These are my ([Gary|Gary Kephart]) predictions for [Season 2]. I will try to incorporate all the news and hints dropped as well as the new role castings. I won't be trying to pull stuff in from future books (TFoH and beyond) to condense the story, which I think the show writers will be doing.

!! General Predictions
I think the main story line of [Season 2] will be [Falme]. I don't think they'll include [Tear|Tear (City)] and [Callandor] until Season 3. Rafe says the characters will have their own stories this season, so I'm interpreting that as the party will be split up in episode 1. [Siuan] won't come to [Fal Dara] and she won't meet [Rand] anytime soon. [Fain]'s going to leave his message on a wall, which will be the reason for everyone to head to [Falme]. That message will cause [Moiraine] to admit to [Lan] that [Rand] is still alive and she will tell him to go find [Rand], which he does, which starts [Rand]'s training and gives him a reason to go to [Falme]. [Moiraine] won't be able to tell the others about [Rand] because they will have already left by the time she reads the message. The kidnapping will happen. There will be a "One Month Later..." notice sometime in [season 2|Season 2] because [Rand] needs to be trained with the sword and [Egwene] needs time to learn in the [White Tower] plus some time with the [Seanchan|Seanchan (People)] before she's rescued. The season will end like [The Great Hunt] ended, with them all at [Falme], [Mat] blowing the [Horn|Horn of Valere] and [Rand] killing [Ishamael]. Also killing [Turak|Turak Aladon].
!! Sources
Here's the sources I'm using for my predictions.
* Where [Season 1] left off
* The books
* Online interviews of the actors and the show runner
** I collected several of these as part of my [Season 1 Review|http://garykephart.com/wordpress/?p=300]
* Leaked audition tapes
* Role Castings
* Other fan predictions, with credit given, of course
* The [news from Comic-Con|Comic-Con 2022]
!! Series vs the Books
In the books, what is the status of everything right after the Eye of the World? You can read the [book summary|The Great Hunt] on our site by clicking on the "Summary" tab. The differences are clear
* In the books, [Mat] is at [Fal Dara] and in the series, he's in [Tar Valon].
* In the books, we know that [Mat] is not fully healed. In the series, we're not sure if [Mat (TV)] is fully healed.
* In the books, [Rand] has been loitering around [Fal Dara] while in the series, he's wandering around in the [Borderlands] or the [Blight].
* In the books, [Moiraine] is not [shielded|Weaves].
* In the books, [Fain] is captured and later escapes, while in the series, he's rather easily gotten hold of the [Horn|Horn of Valere] and the [Ruby Dagger] and is roaming about freely.
* In the show, [Loial (TV)] has been stabbed by the [Ruby Dagger].
* In the books, [Nynaeve] and [Egwene] are getting ready to go back to the [White Tower] with the [Amyrlin]'s group, while in the series, they're at [Fal Dara] and have not met the [Amyrlin] there.
!! Rafe's Comments About Season 2 Overall
; [TVLine|https://tvline.com/2021/12/24/wheel-of-time-recap-season-1-episode-8-finale-rand-dark-one-battle/]: “And secondly, where all the characters land at the end of this is different than they do in the first book because we are moving into seasons that will tell multiple book stories in one season. So you’ll see some of them heading off in a direction that’s very reminiscent of a later book, and some of them heading off in directions that are reminiscent of Book 2."
; [Entertainment Weekly|https://ew.com/tv/the-wheel-of-time-showrunner-burning-questions-season-1-finale/]: “Fans of the books will see that some characters are diving more into their book two story in season 2, and some of them are diving more into their book three story in season 2."
!! New Characters
This is who we can expect to see in [Season 2].

!! Likely Locations
A lot of my predictions are based on what locations I think will be in the next season, because locations are expensive.
# [Fal Dara] (because that's where we ended last season)
# [Tar Valon] (because I believe [Nynaeve] and [Egwene] will head there)
# [Cairhien|Cairhien (City)] (Based on Rafe's answer and Geeky Eri's video)
# A [stedding] (Based on Rafe's answer. Maybe Stedding Sholoon since it's in [Shienar] and maybe near [Fal Dara])
# The [Waste|Aiel Waste] or the [Borderlands] (wherever [Rand] roams)
# [Tifans Well] ([Moiraine] and [Lan] go there)
# [Falme] (because I believe the season will end there)
I had read that [Caemlyn] had been [confirmed by CBR|https://www.cbr.com/wheel-of-time-set-tour-season-2-andor/] for [Season 2] but I think that rumor been busted.
! Comic-Con update
Here's two answers from Rafe that made me update my location predictions.

Plus, I also listened to Geeky Eri's ["All Known Locations for The Wheel of Time Season 2!""|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8qhyXQVCBE].
At line 17 changed one line
It's the next big event in the books. I think that having five locations ([Fal Dara], [Tar Valon], [Caemlyn] and [Falme] and something in the [Waste|Aiel Waste]) will push the budget for the season.
It's the next big event in the books.
At line 21 changed one line
Having [Falme] and [Tear|Tear (City)], two big events, might be too much for one season. I'm pretty sure it will be included in general because they already gave us a glimpse of [Tear|Tear (City)] in [Episode 106]'s cold open and I can't see Rafe teasing us with just that glimpse and not letting us see the whole thing later.

I think that the closest view of [Tear|Tear (City)] we're going to get is a drawing of the [Stone|Stone of Tear] with [Callandor] in one of the books that [Moiraine] will be reading.
At line 25 changed one line
There has to be a plot reason for them to go to [Falme]. I think it will be similar to the books. While in the books, [Padan Fain|Padan Fain (TV)] was captured and scribbled on the wall of his cell in [TGH,Ch6], I think that in the show, [Fain|Padan Fain (TV)] will stop while leaving and scribble the same message on the wall: "We will meet again on [Toman Head]. It is never over, [al'Thor|Rand (TV)]." See the Notes section of [TGH,Ch6] for why [Fain|Padan Fain (TV)] chose [Falme].

!! Padan Fain
I think that plus [Fain] having the [Horn|Horn of Valere] and the [Ruby Dagger] will be enough to have the Hunters of the Horn (HotH) chase after [Fain] and not just go a different route to [Falme].
At line 29 changed one line
[Fain|Padan Fain (TV)] will take almost the same path to get there as in the books, however I believe that the [Waygate|Ways] will be moved from [Cairhien|Cairhien (City)] to [Caemlyn]. [Fain|Padan Fain (TV)] can't use the [Fal Dara] [Waygate|Ways] because it's been bricked up. I don't think we'll see [Cairhien|Cairhien (City)] for budgetary reasons. I don't think we'll see much of [Fain|Padan Fain (TV)] again until the end of the season, except for evidence, like a [Fade] nailed to a door, that he's still headed that way.

I say this because in the [Decider interview|https://decider.com/2021/12/24/the-wheel-of-time-season-1-ending-explained-showrunner-interview-seanchan-moiraine-amazon-prime-video/] there's this:

%%accordion
! Aviendha
In the books, [Aviendha] meets [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (TV)] and [Egwene|Egwene (TV)] on their journey to [Tear|Tear (City)] ([TDR,Ch38]) and first talks to [Rand|Rand (TV)] in [TSR,Ch22]. In the show, will she meet [Rand|Rand (TV)] first or meet [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (TV)] and [Egwene|Egwene (TV)] on their way to [Tar Valon] or take [Gaul]'s place in the cage ([TDR,Ch34]) ?
! Barthanes
Barthanes Damodred has been cast, but he only shows up in the books for five chapters ([TGH,Ch30] through [TGH,Ch34]). His manor is outside of [Cairhien|Cairhien (City)], but I haven't read of any word about [Cairhien|Cairhien (City)] being in [Season 2]. Do they move it to outside of [Caemlyn] along with the [Waygate|Ways] there? The whole reason [Rand|Rand (TV)] goes to the manor is because of [Cairhien|Cairhien (City)]'s Daes Dae'mar and that [Rand|Rand (TV)] gets an invitation because of it.
Will the writers leave all of this out and maybe just make Barthanes a minor character that visits [Moiraine|Moiraine (TV)] at [Tifan's Well|Tifans Well]?
__Post Comic-Con update__
I think that [Barthanes Damodred]'s manor will remain at [Cairhien|Cairhien (City)].
! Egwene
See [Nynaeve]'s section.
! Elaida
Unsure. I think maybe introduced in episode 1 or 3 and that's it.
! Elayne
I'm guessing that the whole trip of [Elayne], [Gawyn] and [Elaida] to [Tar Valon] in [TGH,Ch4] has already happened off-screen in [Season 1] and we were just not introduced to them. I think [Galad] arrived before them for [Warder] training. [Elayne] will meet [Egwene] and [Nynaeve] and introduce them to [Gawyn] and [Galad].
! Faile
There are [rumors|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7eJ_weV6Bw] of [Faile] being introduced in this season, probably to at least get the Perrin-Faile relationship of to a start. I'm looking forward to [Faile]'s reactions to everything she learns, like in [TDR,Ch44].
! Hunters of the Horn (HotH)
Below is the book set of HotH, with the modifications I think will happen in the show.
# [Perrin]
# [Uno Nomesta]
# [Ingtar Shinowa]
# [Masema Dagar]
# %%strike [Rand]%%
# %%strike [Loial]%%
# %%strike [Mat]%%
# %%strike [Hurin]%%
# + [Elyas Machera] and [Hopper]
# + Red shirt [Shienaran|Shienar] #1
# + Red shirt [Shienaran|Shienar] #2
# + Red shirt [Shienaran|Shienar] #3
# + Red shirt [Shienaran|Shienar] #4
# + Red shirt [Shienaran|Shienar] #5
That makes ten in the party.
In the [Season 2 BTH video|Comic-Con 2022], Screenshot 7 shows [Perrin] plus eight [Shienaran|Shienar] and Screenshot 24 shows [Perrin] plus five [Shienarans|Shienar] and one other person who is probably [Elyas Machera]. [Loial] and [Mat] are in neither of those shots, which is enough for me to remove them from this list, even though I predict they'll be at [Falme]. They'll just take a different route to get there.
Since [Rand], [Loial] and [Hurin] are the ones who went through the [Portal Stone] in the books, but now they're not part of the HotH, there will be no "flicker,flicker". Neither will [Selene] appear here. Maybe she will wherever [Rand] is.
[Moiraine] will task the HotH with following [Fain]. They will will travel from [Fal Dara] to [Cairhien|Cairhien (City)] using [Perrin] to track [Fain] using his enhanced olfaction instead of [Hurin]. Without [Rand] there will be no reason for Daes Dae'mar and no reason [Barthanes|Barthanes Damodred] would invite them to his manor. Do they go there anyway because [Perrin] smells him there? If so, will there be a [Waygate|Ways]
I was first thinking that the HotH would travel all the way to [Caemlyn] and pick up [Mat] and [Verin] there. Now I'm not so sure.
They'll all meet Elayne. Afterwards, they'll take the (moved) [Waygate|Ways] to [Falme]. It could be that the [Waygate|Ways] is blocked by [Machin Shin] and they have to take a [Portal Stone], but I doubt it.
In the books, this group plus [Rand|Rand (TV)] uses the portal stone near [Stedding Tsofu], which is a day and a half from [Cairhien|Cairhien (City)], to get to [Toman Head].([TGH,Ch37]).
! Loial
Loial will be transported to Stedding Sholoon in order to heal since it's in [Shienar] and maybe near [Fal Dara]. Maybe he meets [Erith] there. He will be healed in time to get to [Falme], as suggested by [Screenshot 19|Comic-Con 2022].
! Lan
Goes to [Tifan's Well|Tifans Well] with [Moiraine|Moiraine (TV)] and then tracks [Rand] down, maybe just in time to save him from a [Trolloc] or two. He tells [Rand] about [Fain]'s message. That begins [Rand]'s training. At some point [Lan] feels his bond with [Moiraine|Moiraine (TV)] come back online and he heads towards her. Not sure if [Rand] follows or not.
! Moiraine
[Moiraine|Moiraine (TV)]'s going to be at [Adeleas|Adeleas Namelle] and [Vandene|Vandene Namelle]'s place at [Tifan's Well|Tifans Well] in [Arafel] for a while (like in [TGH,Ch22]). I say this because in the [Decider interview|https://decider.com/2021/12/24/the-wheel-of-time-season-1-ending-explained-showrunner-interview-seanchan-moiraine-amazon-prime-video/], there's this:

Since [Tifan's Well|Tifans Well] is west of [Fal Dara], I think [Moiraine|Moiraine (TV)]'s going to send [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (TV)] and [Egwene|Egwene (TV)] south to the [Tower|White Tower] to be Apprentices while having the others ([Perrin|Perrin (TV)], [Loial|Loial (TV)], [Uno|Uno (TV)], [Ingtar|Ingtar Shinowa] and [Masema|Masema Dagar], i.e. the "Hunters of the Horn") chase the [Horn|Horn of Valere]. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (TV)] and [Egwene|Egwene (TV)] will go by river to [Tar Valon], meeting [Bayle Domon].

Like in [TGH,Ch22], she'll send [Lan|Lan (TV)] away, but I'm not sure that the part about her bond to him being passed to another [Aes Sedai] will be included.

%%(font-size:16px; background-color: white; padding: 5px;)
Lan and Moiraine will be tested. Individually and as a Warder/Aes Sedai unit. They’ll face challenges that have huge implications. I consider season 2 a “journey season” for Lan. He will be faced with many moments and situations that force him to question everything he’s believed in and how he’s lived his life up to this point. It’s really hard for me to not give too much away, but I will say this- 2 swords, multiple fades, blood….lots of blood.

So, like in [TGH,Ch22], she'll send [Lan|Lan (TV)] away, but I'm not sure that the part about her bond to him being passed to another [Aes Sedai] will be included. [This tweet|https://twitter.com/EmilieH05676625/status/1520509578739286016] gave me the idea that maybe [Moiraine|Moiraine (TV)] will send [Lan|Lan (TV)] after [Rand|Rand (TV)] to deliver [Fain|Padan Fain (TV)]'s message. [Lan|Lan (TV)] will track him easily enough, and maybe find him in time to save him from a [Trolloc] or two. This will start [Rand|Rand (TV)]'s sword training.
At line 51 changed one line
I think [Moiraine|Moiraine (TV)] sends [Lan|Lan (TV)] away because Daniel Henney said in an interview (source?) that for [Lan|Lan (TV)] in [Season 2], there will be lots of blood and [Trollocs] and [Fades]. I guess he's gotta work through some anger issues. I'll bet he comes back to [Moiraine|Moiraine (TV)] soon after she breaks her shielding.
[Moiraine|Moiraine (TV)] will find a way to break the [shield|Weaves] that [Ishamael|Ishamael (TV)] put on her, maybe through her research. Maybe [Adeleas|Adeleas Namelle] and [Vandene|Vandene Namelle] will be helping her and find it. I bet that [Lan|Lan (TV)] starts returning to [Moiraine|Moiraine (TV)] soon after she breaks her shielding.

Will [Rand|Rand (TV)] go back to [Moiraine|Moiraine (TV)] with [Lan|Lan (TV)] or continue on to [Falme] directly?
At line 224 added 8 lines
Still looking for a reason that [Moiraine|Moiraine (TV)] and [Lan|Lan (TV)] don't go to [Falme].
__Update:__
I didn't look closely enough at the books. [Moiraine] and [Lan] do go to [Falme], ([TGH,Ch49]) but seem to arrive after the battle. So maybe the breaking of her shield will make her not feel useless at [Falme] and give her incentive for her and [Lan] to get moving.

We already had a hint of that in [Episode 108] when she couldn't hear the wind anymore. They might get a (mud) flat and meet [Aviendha] while on foot to [Tar Valon].

Last we saw, [Mat|Mat (TV)] was entering [Tar Valon]. He'll be captured by the [Red Ajah] and probably be completely healed of the dagger by some other [Aes Sedai](s). He'll speak the [Old Tongue] during the healing. When [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (TV)] and [Egwene|Egwene (TV)] are dropped off, he'll join [Perrin|Perrin (TV)], [Loial|Loial (TV)] and [Uno|Uno (TV)] in their chase of the [Horn|Horn of Valere].

He'll speak the [Old Tongue] during the healing. He will meet [Gawyn] and [Galad], who probably have been there the whole time and just not introduced in [Season 1], and have the quarterstaff fight ([TDR,Ch24]) and will also reunite with [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (TV)] and [Egwene|Egwene (TV)].

!! Perrin, Loial, Uno and Mat
How will he join the Hunters of the Horn? Will the Hunt for the [Horn|Horn of Valere] lead them to [Tar Valon] so they can pick up [Mat|Mat (TV)] and [Verin] on their way to [Caemlyn]? Maybe [Padan Fain] stops at [Tar Valon] for a minute to speak to [Liandrin]?

The foursome will continue to [Caemlyn]. Mat will have the quarterstaff fight. They'll all meet Elayne. Afterwards, they'll take the (moved) [Waygate|Ways] to [Falme]. It could be that the [Waygate|Ways] is blocked by [Machin Shin] and they have to take a [Portal Stone], but I doubt it.
Whatever the case, I believe that [Mat] will be at [Falme] to blow the [Horn of Valere], just as in [TGH,Ch47].

I'm guessing that he'll head off into the [Waste|Aiel Waste] and not [Tear|Tear (City)]. I'm not sure what he'll do there, except meet [Aviendha], but [Rhuidean] is too early in the story to happen ([TSR,Ch23]).
[Fain|Padan Fain (TV)] will take almost the same path to get to [Falme] as in the books: [Fal Dara] to the [Cairhien|Cairhien (City)] [Waygate|Ways]. However I believe that the [Waygate|Ways] that he used in the books ([TGH,Ch33]) at [Barthanes Damodred]'s manor will be moved from [Cairhien|Cairhien (City)] to [Caemlyn]. He can't use the [Fal Dara] [Waygate|Ways] because it's been bricked up. So he'll just head directly south, bypassing [Tar Valon] and [Cairhien|Cairhien (City)] and on to [Caemlyn]. I don't think we'll see much of [Fain|Padan Fain (TV)] until the end of the season, except for evidence, like a [Fade] nailed to a door, that he's still headed to [Falme].

A scene showing [Fain|Padan Fain (TV)] writing something on a wall. Lots of crying over [Rand|Rand (TV)]'s "death". [Moiraine|Moiraine (TV)] discovers the writing.

[Moiraine|Moiraine (TV)] tells the [Two Rivers] folk that she and [Lan|Lan (TV)] must leave them to research stuff and that they should continue on south to [Tar Valon] and then follow [Fain|Padan Fain (TV)].

[Tar Valon]. Mat healed. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (TV)] and [Egwene|Egwene (TV)] become apprentices.
I'm betting [Lan|Lan (TV)] will catch up to him and save his skin and that will be the start of [Rand|Rand (TV)]'s sword training. [Rand|Rand (TV)] will then know that he needs to go to [Falme] because [Lan] will relay [Fain]'s message.

[Rand] will kill [Ishamael] and also kill [Turak|Turak Aladon]. [The Dusty Wheel|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4muPyw9OZ8] agrees with me on the latter, especially since [Turak|Turak Aladon] is cast.

! Episode 201 - Split the Party
At line 281 added 72 lines
Rafe said that every character would be on their own for at least a little while, telling their own story (source?). I think this will start by splitting the party in the very first episode.
I'm hoping the cold open will be the [DFS|TGH,Prologue], setting the stakes for this season onward.
There will be a scene showing [Fain|Padan Fain (TV)] writing something on a wall, but we won't see the message.
Then a scene with lots of grief from [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (TV)], [Egwene|Egwene (TV)] and [Perrin|Perrin (TV)] over [Rand|Rand (TV)]'s "death".
[Moiraine|Moiraine (TV)] tells the [Two Rivers] folk that she and [Lan|Lan (TV)] must leave them to research stuff and that [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (TV)] and [Egwene|Egwene (TV)] should take a boat to [Tar Valon] and that the others should follow [Fain|Padan Fain (TV)] and the [Horn|Horn of Valere] (the "The Hunt for the Horn").
[Ingtar|Ingtar Shinowa] and [Masema|Masema Dagar] will be introduced.
[Mat|Mat (TV)] will be captured by the [Red Ajah] in [Tar Valon]. They'll try to [gentle|stilling] him, but of course that will fail. The [Reds|Red Ajah] will be asking themselves, "WTF, [Moiraine|Moiraine (TV)]?" [Mat|Mat (TV)] will be (mostly?) healed. Maybe [Elaida] and [Verin] are introduced.
There will be some scene with [Rand|Rand (TV)] entering the [Aiel Waste] or the [Borderlands].
[Nynaeve|Nynaeve (TV)] and [Egwene|Egwene (TV)] board [Bayle Domon]'s boat.
[Perrin|Perrin (TV)] and [Loial (TV)], plus [Uno|Uno (TV)], [Ingtar|Ingtar Shinowa] and [Masema|Masema Dagar] leave to follow [Fain|Padan Fain (TV)].
Someone discovers [Fain|Padan Fain (TV)]'s writing and tells [Moiraine|Moiraine (TV)]. She and [Lan|Lan (TV)] go to read it (without us seeing it yet). She tells [Lan|Lan (TV)] to "Find Rand" (maybe also "after we get to Tifan's Well'). The camera turns away from [Moiraine|Moiraine (TV)] to the wall and Fain's message is scribbled in blood on it. When we see Fain's message, we hear him in a voiceover of it.
Go to a closeup of [Fain|Padan Fain (TV)]'s face. He turns around and starts walking away. Soon after, two Fades and then Trollocs come into the picture, following him. Fade to black.
! Episode 202
[Nynaeve|Nynaeve (TV)] and [Egwene|Egwene (TV)] journey to [Tar Valon]. Maybe they get a (mud) flat, leave the boat, meet [Aviendha] and continue to [Tar Valon].
The Hunt for the Horn heads south. They encounter [Elyas|Elyas Machera]. __Comic-Con update:__ and [Hopper].
[Moiraine|Moiraine (TV)] arrives at [Tifan's Well|Tifans Well] and settles in.
Also some scene with [Rand|Rand (TV)]. Maybe [Lan|Lan (TV)] catches up with him, saves his life and they start [Rand|Rand (TV)]'s training while continuing into the [Waste|Aiel Waste].
! Episode 203
[Nynaeve|Nynaeve (TV)] and [Egwene|Egwene (TV)] arrive at [Tar Valon]. [Egwene] becomes a Novice and [Nynaeve] becomes an Accepted soon thereafter. They reunite with [Mat|Mat (TV)] and [Min|Min (TV)]. They also meet [Elayne], who introduces them to [Galad] and [Gawyn].
[Mat|Mat (TV)]'s quarterstaff fight.
[Elaida] and [Verin] are introduced, if they haven't been already.
The Hunters of the Horn find a [Fade] nailed to a door.
! Episode 204
The Hunters of the Horn arrive at [Tar Valon] (why? still working on that) and leave for [Caemlyn] a bit later. [Mat|Mat (TV)] and [Verin] join them. There's no reason for that bunch to stick around [Tar Valon] long.
! Episode 205
[Nynaeve|Nynaeve (TV)], [Egwene|Egwene (TV)], [Elayne] and [Min|Min (TV)] kidnapped. Well, like the books, I think only [Egwene|Egwene (TV)] and [Min] will actually be captured and the others escape. Rafe Judkins has basically [confirmed|https://twitter.com/rafejudkins/status/1550294511791661056] that the kidnappings will happen.
Something with [Rand|Rand (TV)].
! Episode 206
[Caemlyn]. We'll meet [Morgase]. Like others think, I also think that [Morgase] will be relegated to a minor role and her main plot will not be included in the series.
Something with [Rand|Rand (TV)].
Something with [Egwene|Egwene (TV)].
! Episode 207
[Caemlyn]. Last scene is all entering the [Waygate|Ways] to [Falme].
! Episode 208 - Battle of Falme
Battle for [Falme]. [Verin] and "Five ride forth, four return." [Ingtar|Ingtar Shinowa] will have his moment ([TGH,Ch46]). [Mat|Mat (TV)] will blow the [Horn|Horn of Valere].
