And there is a LOT that can be streamlined.

Elayne's whole coronation stuff. Perrin and Faile's journeys. Honestly, and this will be very very controversial, I think the Seanchan could be borderline eliminated.

The White Tower civil war could be shortened to one season. The foresaken could be paired down to just a few.

I think the biggest reason is that you need them for the adam. For a lot of stuff you could just use another nation to facilitate what the Seanchan do. But if the adam exist on that continent - most of the power dynamics with Aes Sedai and the White Tower wouldn't make sense. YOu need them as the big army of force weilders - one that Rand can't steamroll with his ashaman, etc. so that Rand has to make a deal with the devil in order to facilitate the last battle. And if you have that army as existing on this continent already, a lot of the world-building and power dynamics doesn't make sense.


PLUS if this thing takes off I would love to see the fall of Seanchan / Towers of Midnight storyline fleshed out - could potentially be a spinoff show or something like that.


They probably will reduce the forsaken some, I think you need a good handful, since we have so many powerful good characters come in to play. The Shara appearance will either be written in another way, or not happen and Demandred (I think that is who it was) will probably be morphed into another character / maybe Taim.
