Tiger Ty reveals that the Elves were indeed still alive, living on the island of Morrowindl out in the Blue Divide. She destroys the Shadowen, and shortly afterwards the Wing Rider Tiger Ty appears and questions her about her signal fire. The monster attacks them both, and they are in danger of being killed when the painted blue rocks that Wren had been given by her parents reveals themselves to be the actual Elfstones of legend. When the fire is lit, the unknown presence that had been tracking them reveals itself to them: it is a Shadowen. Wren and Garth travel to Grimpen Ward, home of a seer called the Addershag, who exclaims that Wren is an Elf who possesses magic and tells her to go travel south to Wing Hove and light a large fire for three days and three nights at the edge of the Blue Divide. He gives Wren the task of restoring the vanished Elves to the Four Lands.ĭespite being initially skeptical, Wren starts asking around about the whereabouts of the Elves, and at about the same time she and Garth start being tracked by an unknown presence. Allanon orders Walker to restore Paranor and the Druid Order, and tells Par to recover the Sword of Shannara. Garth travels with her to the lake, where she reunites with her cousins Walker Boh, Par Ohmsford, and Coll Ohmsford. Although it was never articulated in such terms, Garth became Wren's de facto father, and Wren his daughter.Īfter Wren starts receiving dreams from the shade of the Druid Allanon, Cogline comes for her and tells her to travel to the Hadeshorn. Through the years Garth told Wren her nothing about her past aside from what her parents had allowed him to tell her. Because he is deaf and mute, Wren also learned sign language. Garth remained faithful to the charge given to him by the Elven princess, and he raised Wren to be a tough and skilled fighter, tracker, and survivalist. Eowen later revealed to Wren that she knew Alleyne would attempt a return and that it would fail. Their Roc was taken down and they were killed just short of the city gates. She was to be told nothing of her past life except that she was the child of a Rover and of an Ohmsford, and that she must always keep close with her the bag of painted blue rocks she was given by her parents.Īfter the arrangements were made, Alleyne and her Wing Rider husband attempted to fly back to Arborlon. After that she was to be taken to the Rovers and to be given to Garth to be raised and trained. She was to spend her first five years in Shady Vale, raised by her distant cousins in the Ohmsford family. The two Elves made an agreement with Garth that Wren would be raised as Wren Ohmsford. They were directed to Garth, a tracker and survivalist renowned for his skills. Alleyne was also determined to return to Arborlon with her husband in spite of the prophecy, and she did not want to risk Wren's life in the attempt.īefore their attempted return to Arborlon, Alleyne and her husband went specifically to the Rovers, the most tough and hardy people in the Westland, to seek out someone who could train their daughter the way they wanted. She further foresaw that Alleyne could never return to Arborlon, but that if the baby survived she would one day come back to save the Elves.Īfter Wren was born, her mother, knowing from the prophecy that Wren would one day return to Arborlon and knowing the dangers that existed on Morrowindl, wanted to make sure Wren was raised and trained by someone who would teach her to be strong and to withstand and survive any threat. Eowen Cerise, the seer and close friend to Ellenroh Elessedil, the Queen of the Elves, prophesied that both Ellenroh's daughter Alleyne and her baby would die if they did not leave the island of Morrowindl before the baby was born.
