Antrax

Mephitic was the third island on Kael Elessedil‘s map that the Jerle Shannara crew needed to find.

Description

Low and broad. Rolling hills, thickly wooded forests, wide smooth grasslands. Larger than Shatterstone and Flay Creech. A massive castle sat on a low bluff facing west, backed up against a deep forest and fronted by a broad plain.

The castle was old and crumbling, its portcullis collapsed, its windows and doors dark empty holes, its battlements and courtyard deserted. It had been a mighty fortress in another age and time, its walls and outbuildings sprawled across the grasslands for a mile in each direction. The castle itself was as big as Paranor.

History

It was the site of the final battle against the Morgawr.
