In the time of the Second War of the Races, Bremen had a master smith forge the Sword of Shannara. Jerle Shannara used it to defeat the Warlock lord but it did not kill him. Then he put in a tri-sotne and put it in Paranor's vaults, where it remained safely until the Warlock Lord returned.

Shea slipped on the pass after a tremor and slid down the mountain side, catching on a projecting rock. They were too late to bring a rope when the second tremor knocked the Valeman off the cliff and into the raging Rabb River below.

10. True or False: Shea was found by a thief named Panamon Creel and a troll named Keltset in a camp of sleeping Gnomes.

Answer: True

Panamon Creel and Keltset have been partners since Panamon rescued Keltset. Keltset never spoke to him or anyone since he met him but he could understand words.

11. Who was the traitor that was making Palance go mad?

Answer: Stenmin

Stenmin's plan was to make Palance disband the Border Legion so that the Northland army would stand unopposed on its journey to take the Southland.

12. How many times total did Shea have to use the Elfstones?

Answer: 4

Shea used them once to find their way through the Lowlands of Clete, once against the Mist Wraith, once against the Skull Bearer that knew Keltset, and once to find their way through the mists of River Lethe.

Answer: False

Panamon didn't die in the book since he brought back the stones. (It also is more clear as you read more books).

Answer: The Truth

The Truth killed the Warlock lord because, since he was already dead and the sword showed that to him, he couldn't accept it and so died.
