conversations.value: First King of Shannara: Horrified by the consequences of the First War of the Races, most of the Druids at Paranor stopped studying the arcane arts and turned to the sciences of the Old World.\nBrona, now known as the Warlock Lord, had been behind the First War of the Races, and was thought to have died during it.\nBut he had secretly survived, and now has come to make a new war upon the Races.\nHe is now stronger than ever, gathering spirits from the netherworld and a massive Troll and Gnome army under his banner.\nBrona's first target is Paranor, the home of the Druids who defeated him during the First War of the Races.\nHe easily wipes out the Druid order.\nThe only survivors are the followers of Bremen, an outcast Druid who continued to study the mystic arts and tried to warn the council before it was too late.\nBremen had been cast from the Druid Council because he had an interest in magic, now forbidden since the disaster that turned the Druid Brona into the Warlock Lord.\nAs a result, the council didn't trust him.\nAlong with Tay Trefenwyd and Risca, who are the only Druids who believe Bremen and leave with him, Bremen leaves Paranor.\nLater, the three are joined by Mareth, an apprentice Druid with innate magic, as well as empathic powers.\nAfter reaching the Hadeshorn and summoning the shade of Galaphile, Bremen is given four visions.\nBremen learns that the Warlock Lord seeks the Black Elfstone, which would grant him tremendous power.\nBremen sends Tay Trefenwyd to recover the Black Elfstone before the Warlock Lord can, and sends Risca to warn and aid the Dwarves from the army of the Warlock Lord.\nTay Trefenwyd, along with his best friend Jerle Shannara go to the king to seek his aid.\nHowever, the entire royal family is destroyed by the Warlock Lord's minions, all but for two young grandchildren.\nTay starts to go and search for the Black Elfstone, believing action better than inaction, taking with him Jerle Shannara, as well as a small party of Elven Hunters, and Preia Starle, who loves Jerle Shannara, but whom Tay Trefenwyd loves.\nHowever, Tay never even speaks of his love for her, as his loyalty to Jerle is so strong.\nTay eventually comes upon where the Black Elfstone is hidden, with an ancient race called the Chew Magna, who have been subverted by the magic of the Black Elfstone.\nCloaking himself in magic that makes him one of them, Tay manages to recover the Black Elfstone.\nHowever, upon leaving the Chew Magna, they are discovered by the Warlock Lord's minions, and Tay has no magic left, having spent it all recovering the elfstone.\nAlthough he had been warned by Bremen on what would happen if the Black Elfstone is used, he uses it so that his friends can escape with the Black Elfstone.\nHe destroys all the enemies, but is forced to sacrifice himself, drawing the air from his lungs rather than be subverted by the Black Elfstone.\nMeanwhile, Bremen, Kinson Ravenlock, and Mareth travel back to Paranor, fearing that the Druids are all already dead.\nOn reaching Paranor, every Druid who remained is dead, and Bremen manages to recover the Eilt Druin, which he saw as pivotal in the creating of a weapon that can defeat the Warlock Lord.\nBremen knows that only magic can fight magic, so he devises a plan to create a magical weapon to destroy the Warlock Lord: the Sword of Shannara.\nBremen learns how to make a metal stronger than iron from Cogline, and manages to create the sword by the mixing of science and magic.\nUpon finding a smith skilled enough to create the sword, the reader discovers that the smith is the ancestor of Panamon Creel.\nBremen also discovers his successor as a Druid, the boy who is revealed to be Allanon, and possesses incredibly penetrating eyes, an immense intelligence, and a talent for magic.\nThe Sword is created by truth of existence, the only thing remaining to the shades of former Druids.\nThe Warlock Lord could never face the truth that he had died centuries before, and the Sword would force that truth on him.\nArmed with truth, Bremen leads the battle in the Westland.\nHe equips Jerle Shannara, the Elven King, with the Sword.\nAfter several battles, the Elves drive the Warlock Lord's armies from the Westland, and right into a trap set by the remains of the Dwarf army.\nDuring the final battle, Jerle confronts the Warlock Lord, and manages to defeat him but he fails to destroy him.\nTo properly wield the talisman of truth, one must first be prepared to face the truth of his own life.\nJerle simply could not reconcile the guilt he felt at his best friend's death, and so he lacked the ability to force truth on Brona.\nIn this final battle, Risca is also killed.\nKinson Ravenlock and Mareth are married (with Mareth forsaking the Druid ways), as are Jerle Shannara and Preia Starle.\nMeanwhile, Bremen spends three years teaching Allanon what he needs to know in order to be a Druid.\nAfterwards, Bremen, in old age, succumbs to death, walking into the Hadeshorn, to be carried to the afterlife by the shade of Galaphile.\nBefore he goes, he reveals to Allanon that the Warlock Lord was not destroyed, but simply forced into hiding, and that the task of destroying him will be given to Allanon.
