The Wheel of Time: Origins (2021) s01e02 Episode Script
The Fall of Manetheren
1
A thousand years after the Breaking,
battles still raged against
the forces of the Dark One.
With the towers of Manetheren
to their backs,
King Aemon and his army
defended their people.
Battling through unrelenting
days and nights,
they held their city against trollocs,
darkfriends and dreadlords,
until they could no longer
hold the river from crossing.
Behind the honor of the Red Eagle banner,
retreat found no place amongst them.
And the sword that could not be broken
was shattered.
From behind the walls of the emptied city,
Queen Eldrene sank
with King Aemon's death.
And so her heart and kingdom
found their end.
And today, in the Two Rivers,
where Manetheren once stood,
the Wheel continues to turn.
