==Development==
In early drafts of The Eye of the World, Dannil accompanies Moiraine, Lan, and the other main characters when they leave Emond's Field. When Robert Jordan's wife and editor, Harriet McDougal, asked him why this character had been included in the story but rarely said or did anything, he said he had plans for Dannil "around book 5." Harriet convinced him that the readers wouldn't have the patience to continue reading a novel with boring characters, and the series might never reach that point. He would later admit to Harriet that he was embarrassed at how easy it was to excise Dannil from the story. In A Memory of Light, when Dannil comments to Tam that he thinks of what it might have been like to leave the village with the other boys, it is a deliberate reference to the character's original conception.
