    Definitely a huge overlap but mostly just because these are classic and great tropes from English-language literature. I doubt Dune was a major inspiration for WOT.

    Aes Sedai - Bene - Moirai/Weird Sisters Moiraine is literally named after the Moirai

    Paul/Rand are regular chosen ones with the foreign savior theme of Lawrence/Heart of Darkness added on for good measure
