Blue Elfstones

The Blue Elfstones were one of five sets of Elfstones.

Consisted of three blue stones, each the size of an average pebble.

Age of Faerie

All five sets of Elfstones were hidden in a stronghold in Arborlon. When the other Elfstones were stolen by Charis, he left the Blue Elfstones for Aleia Omarosian, telling her to use them to find him. When she was unable to find him, she returned the Blue Elfstones.

Shea Ohmsford had handed down the stones to his son Wil Ohmsford so when Allanon came for him at Storlock he already had the stones with him.

The Wishsong of Shannara

After his experiences with the stones, Wil hid the stones as he did not ever want them used again. Jair Ohmsford found their hiding spot and when he left Shady Vale he took them with him, not wanting to believe that he could not find a way to use them.

When the King of the Silver River visited him he was able to persuade Jair to hand them over, in return for magic from him. He then returned the stones to Shady Vale, where Jair found them when they all returned.

The Heritage of Shannara series

The stones had been given to Wren Ohmsford as a baby, but as they were disguised as ordinary stones painted blue, she believed them only to be a memento of her dead parents. Despite the Addershag telling her she had magic, she still did not realise what they were until she was threatened by another form of magic.

They remained with the Elven people until their disappearance.
