Wren is charged to return the missing Elves, Walker is charged with returning Paranor and the Druids, and Par is charged with finding the lost Sword of Shannara. All the scions meet at the Valley of Shale and receive tasks from the shade of Allanon. The Shadowen threaten to overcome all the Races.Īfter arguing the matter over, the two brothers, and later Walker Boh and Wren, travel to the Hadeshorn through much toil and perils.
The fate of the Four Lands lies upon them and the other scions of Shannara: Wren in the Westland and Walker Boh who lives somewhere in the Eastland, and to whom Cogline is to deliver the message also. He informs them that they must travel to the Hadeshorn in order to meet with The ancient Druid, Allanon. Yet they are saved by an old man, Cogline, who was once a Druid, and is now a messenger for the Shade of Allanon. Upon their way, they are attacked by a frightening woods hag who is a Shadowen, a beast of legend and of great power. Thus, the two brothers escape and after much debate decide to travel to the Highlands of Leah to meet up with their friend, Morgan Leah. He tells them that when they need help they can go to a certain forge, show the ring, and they will be led to the Movement's base. The man does not gives them his name, though he does hand Par a ring with a hawk insignia. Par and Coll are rescued by a mysterious man, who claims to be a leader of the Free-born rebel movement. On one night, Rimmer Dall, first Seeker for the Federation, bursts ito the tavern, having found out about Par and Coll, and tries to arrest them. However, what Par and Coll are doing is illegal under the law of the Federation because magic is supposedly the cause for various problems that are occurring in the Four Lands. The wishsong is but an illusion seen when Par sings what he wants to create. Par Ohmsford and his brother Coll start the story in Varfleet, telling legends and important histories of the past in a tavern through the use of Par's magic, the wishsong. It is a cruel land in which the tale begins.
Magic is forbidden and those that practice it are eventually found and brought to their fate. The Dwarves are sent to dig in the mines, and will soon be extinct because of the Federation's wickedness. The Elves have vanished from the face of the land, while the dwarves are imprisoned for having fought the Federation in the past. The Scions of Shannara is set in a land ruled by the oppressive military order called the Federation. The book follows the lives of the scions of the House of Shannara: Par Ohmsford, Walker Boh, and Wren Ohmsford. It is the first book in The Heritage of Shannara series, which takes place three hundred years after the end of the previous Shannara trilogy. The Scions of Shannara is a fantasy novel by Terry Brooks.
