The Wheel of Time Teaser Introduces Viewers to The Shadowspawn

Only a day after Amazon and showrunner & EP Rafe Judkins' upcoming series adaptation of Robert Jordan's famed "The Wheel of Time" novels let fans loose online as part of "The Great Hunt" to reveal the newest poster (check it out below), the previews weren't quite done yet. What follows is a brief teaser highlighting what lurks in the dark and is hunting our heroes, the Shadowspawn (beginning with the descriptive text describing the teaser that was also released).

"Out of a crowd of animal-like trolloc faces and hands, many of them holding torches, a myrddraal appears on horseback, riding slowly as the trollocs part. The horse he rides upon has a skull-like covering on his head. The myrddraal is wearing a black robe with a hood that nearly covers its face, but you can catch glimpses that reveal it has no eyes and pale white skin. Text on the screen says "Shadowspawn: Servants of the Dark" and below it are white weaves running horizontally. A closeup on the horse's hooves cuts to both Lan's and then Moiraine's faces looking concerned. Smash cut to the myrddraal's face as it opens its mouth to reveal rows and rows of sharp teeth. Cut to a montage of trollocs running through trees, then through a town, then engaged in combat with undefined people. Cut to a metallic snake, coiling in a circle and swallowing its own tail as the words "The Wheel of Time" unfurl underneath it. The words "Amazon Original Series" appear at the top of the screen as "November Nineteenth" appears at the bottom":

In the following previously-released scene, Rand, Perrin, Egwene, and Nynaeve are in the Winespring Inn on a busy night when Moiraine and Lan enter. The crowd quiets as Moiraine asks for supplies and a room. They then begin to whisper after she is recognized as an Aes Sedai by her great serpent ring:

Now here's a listen to the first single from The Wheel of Time, "Al'Naito" by Lorne Balfe:
