After hearing over and over again from my readers on the subject of a companion book, I became rather interested myself in knowing what happened to Balinor after the battle for Tyrsis how the Elves lived their lives at the close of the Great Wars where Panamon Creel ended up and so on. From there it was not such a great leap to agree to this book. Rather reluctantly, still clinging to my argument that writing about the past wasn't all that appealing to me, I took the project on. First King of Shannara would chronicle the story of Jerle Shannara and reveal how the Warlock Lord escaped him, how the Druids were destroyed at Paranor, the Sword of Shannara was forged, and Allanon became the last of the Druids. Then, somewhere around1995, I was persuaded by my editor, Owen Lock, to write a book about the Second War of the Races. Besides, I wasn't interested in further developing the past I was interested in writing about the future. I have always declined to do so, since I was busy enough writing the books not only of that series, but also those of the Magic Kingdom and Word & Void series as well, without taking on yet another commitment.
