History

From The World of Shannara

The History of the Four Lands only becomes truly apparent after reading the course of all the novels in the Shannara and Word & Void series by Terry Brooks. Much of the history is detailed and happens within the novels themselves. However there is also a great deal that is alluded to or written about that is a back drop for the stories that happen in the novels. This article does not detail the history in detail. There are numerous articles in this site that do that. So this is a place that puts links to all those articles in one place in a certain chronological order.
