Lots to talk about in here!

Any theories on who is the person with the flaming sword killing the Fade?
I immediately thought Rand because flaming sword. But looking at the stills of the trailer that doesn't look like Rand at all...
My money is on Tomas. It's someone we don't recognize who would be worthy of a highlight of doing something badass.
This really goes along with the "Verin is the new Vandene" theory we've had for over a year now. Moiraine and Lan are meeting with Verin, and (instead of a Draghkar) we have a more traditional attack.
Honestly, it feels like they've always planned to merge Myrdraal and Draghkar, making them more inhuman instead of having the former occasionally put on a hood and chit-chat with townies.
I get what you mean. But refresh my memory, do we get any mentions in the books about someone who is not Rand using a flaming sword of Power? Assuming that's what we are seeing in the trailer i had always assumed you had to be a channeler to wield that
But refresh my memory, do we get any mentions in the books about someone who is not Rand using a flaming sword of Power?
No, but not because it's an unknown or unreasonable weave. It just doesn't happen on-screen. One could argue women are weaker with fire, but fire is still damn useful in life-or-death scenarios and often used anyway.
But I got two takes on this. The first is that it's not really a flaming sword. I've heard at least one or two people guessing that it's a power wrought sword going full anti-myrdraal.
The second? Yeah, it could easily be a weave wreathing a sword in flame (we DO have non-Rand examples of flame-wreathing and other controlled/tied fire weaves, just not directly as weapons)
Let's be honest. Strong return with no lore cost in giving us firesabres once in a while. And it fits the spirit of WoT who, if you recall, DID end up opening a gateway into a volcano for us.
