DM News:Casting Announcement: Basel Gill

[Mashiara Sedai]

The latest casting announcement for the Amazon Prime Wheel of Time television show has been announced.
 

Darren Clarke as Basel Gill

 

 

Basel Gill plays an important role in reuniting our beloved Two Rivers characters, and this announcement could mean we're getting closer to the in-book scenes in Caemlyn.  Will Elyane be revealed next?  Or maybe Morgase?  Gareth Bryne?  Maybe Elaida?

 

Or is this an indication that Master Gill's character is changing or evolving from his role in the books?  The Twitter feed for @WOTonPrime seems to be aligning their announcements with what's happening in the books--based on the #TwitterofTime book club reading of The Eye of the World.  If we get this information when Basel isn't even mentioned (they read chapters 19-22 this week), it could be foreshadowing about changes to the storyline.

 

What do you think?  Is the Two Rivers group heading to Caemlyn?  Or will Basel Gill appear elsewhere?  Let us know what you think in the comments below!

Lets not forget the other big (and i mean big!!!) character that is tied into Basel Gill, that is of course everyone’s favourite Ogier, Loail who is staying at the Queen’s Blessing when we first meet him. That is a scene I’m really looking forward to seeing. Rands reaction is priceless.
