The short films are written by Rammy Park, who is also one of the writers on Season 2 of The Wheel of Time show.
No other specific information about the films or the animators has been provided yet. From the video above it appears as though some of the stories will focus on the Breaking of the World, the Trolloc Wars, and the fall of Artur Hawkwing.
