“Their relationship – It’s a tremendous commitment and loyalty,” actress Rosamund Pike, who plays Moiraine, says. ”The bond, it is not only a call of duty, [but] it’s also something palpable. He literally feels what I feel: If he’s hungry, I’ll feel it. If he’s in pain, I’ll feel it. So when I get wounded, he feels it. It’s deeper than a psychic connection. And that’s very, very interesting. We’ve had fun with all the kinds of micro exchanges we’ve got.”
Though some Aes Sedai marry their Warders, Moiraine and Lan are not romantically attached, despite their unique closeness. Yet their relationship is still one of the most important in the series, and will hopefully drive its story for seasons to come.
“It’s kind of – I guess it’s kind of like a marriage without the intimate benefits,” Daniel Henney, who plays Lan, says. “I probably take the trash out and put the toilet seat down and go out in the mornings to walk the dogs.”
“You saddle the horses too,” Pike laughs.
Part of the pair’s closeness is also due to their unconventional lifestyle, which sees the two of them undertake a quest to find the prophesied Dragon Reborn, who is destined to either destroy the world or save it, and often leaves them with only one another to count on.
“I’m always interested in playing people where the other characters don’t quite know where they stand with them. God, I enjoy that!” Pike says. “And I think Daniel and I, as Warder and Aes Sedai, have quite enjoyed those [scenes]. We are both outsiders, and I think the idea that these two are always strangers wherever they go – it always creates a sort of frisson and something that’s interesting dramatically.”
