Shannara: Difference between revisions

** The closest thing to a [[Satan]] behind them seems to be the Void, introduced in the "Word/Void" books but only personified once, when it manifests to Gask at the beginning of ''Angel Fire East''.

* [[Derivative Differentiation]]: It series started off as fairly derivative of ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'', with the largest distinction being the [[After the End]] setting. It even took its general plot structure straight from ''The Lord Of The Rings''. As the series went on, however, the books developed more original plots, including an urban fantasy trilogy.

* [[The Dragon]]: Several. [[Psycho for Hire]] Pe Ell is probably the most archetypical, working as Rimmer Dall's favourite killer in the ''Heritage'' series.

** [[Co-Dragons]]: The [[The Juggernaut|Reaper]] and The [[Shape Shifter|Changeling]] to The [[Demon Lords and Archdevils|Dagda Mor]]

* [[La Résistance]]: The Freeborn to the Federation.

* [[Lamarck Was Right]]: Using magic created by another race, when you've only got maybe one-quarter blood of the creator race in the first place, can cause some problems. Wil Ohmsford was actually damaged by use of the Elfstones, along with passing on some of the magic to his children in the form of the Wishsong.

* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: Generally speaking, if something in one of Brooks' books is described as large it's also going to be very fast.

* [[Locked Out of the Loop]]: The Druids have a tendency towards doing this, including Walker Boh, who initially ''despised'' the Druids for it.
