They are creatures that were trapped inside the Forbidding after the creation of the Ellcrys.
Demons is a common name for many different creatures in novels by Terry Brooks. The black-winged skull bearer, for instance, is more than a euphemism for death." Tom Shippey wasn't so positive, as he thought that the Skull Bearers were very familiar to those who had read The Lord of the Rings: he found that the Skull Bearers were " analogues" for the Nazgûl. He said that " Brooks creates distillations of horror that hark back to childhood's shadows, when the most important thing about a fearful creature was that you didn't know its exact shape and intent. Praise for them came from Frank Herbert, the author of Dune, who liked all of the "monsters" in The Sword of Shannara. Reviewers and critics had mixed opinions on the Skull Bearers. They "sacrificed their humanity" to become "winged black destroyers" but in doing this, they tied themselves to their master, the Warlock Lord, and became his "dread minion". Skull Bearers were Druids once upon a time, but they were subverted by the Ildatch along with the druid Brona, who would later become the Warlock Lord. King of the Silver River - a Faerie creature who appears throughout the series. He and his followers then inhabited the Skull Kingdom deep in the Northland. The Warlock Lord was formerly a Druid named Brona who was removed from the walls of Paranor for studying and practicing forbidden magic found in an ancient sentient tome called the Ildatch. Unlike science, magic is uncertain, and the results of its application are not always predictable. Sometimes the magic of a talisman or an external source links with the magic innate in a user, causing various results. Some users would find more success with talismans like the Sword or the Elfstones than others. Its power is enhanced or weakened by the strength of the user. It draws from the earth, air, fire and water in various forms. Druid Magic, like most of the magic that originates in the Four Lands, is elemental. The greatest minds that remained in the Four Lands were first assembled by Galaphile at the fortress of Paranor. The Druids are an order of historians, philosophers, magic-users, teachers and researchers. Meeting at Paranor, it was he that believed that the Druids shouldn't belong to any one race, so they became separated from the people. Galaphile was the Elf who was responsible in the creation of the Druids. He called upon Shea Ohmsford in The Sword of Shannara, Wil Ohmsford in The Elfstones of Shannara and Brin and Jair Ohmsford in The Wishsong of Shannara. Allanon often called on the aid of the Ohmsford family in the novels, as they are descendants of Jerle Shannara and therefore the only ones who can use the Sword of Shannara. He is never completely honest, telling many white lies or half-truths, and provides others with information only if it is dangerous, crucial, or required. Trained by Bremen, he lived an unexpectedly long life, being the Druid that summons the Ohmsford family during the original trilogy (Sword, Elfstones, and Wishsong). Allanon, described as Brooks' "most enigmatic character", is very secretive and the last remaining Druid of the original order. The Southland is primarily the homeland of humans. The Westland is the homeland primarily of the elves, while the Northland is mostly inhabited by trolls and the Eastland is the home mostly of dwarves and gnomes. Įach land is named after the compass point it faces: the Northland, the Southland, the Eastland, and the Westland, and is the primary home of different peoples. For example, the Columbia River still exists. Much of the landscape has been changed by a future nuclear holocaust called The Great Wars, but some landmarks remain. 
The Genesis of Shannara trilogy reveals the Four Lands to be located in the modern Pacific Northwest region of the United States and Canada. This world is a futuristic version of our own, and not a secondary world.
