Description
The High Druid’s Blade
Its metal blade, leather pommel and strap-on sheath were all as black as night. Its markings indicated the pommel leather and sheath had been replaced many times but the blade was the original.
History
The Sword of Shannara
Menion Leah brought the sword with him when he accompanied Shea and Flick Ohmsford.2The Sword of Shannara – p 87
The Wishsong of Shannara
Rone Leah had always admired the blade that had once belonged to his great-grandfather Menion Leah so his father gave it to him as a small symbol of his standing as a Prince of Leah.
Until then the Sword of Leah had been just a standard weapon. However, in response to the constant doubt and questioning from Rone, Allanon infused the sword with magic at the Hadeshorn to give him the power to protect Brin Ohmsford and stand as Allanon’s equal. The sword was then effective against magic.
Ilse Witch
Quentin Leah used the sword when the Black Moclips crashed into the Jerle Shannara and the resultant battle.3Ilse Witch – pp 357-358
The High Druid’s Blade
The sword now hung over the hearth in the Leah home. Chrysallin Leah had found it in the attic and claimed it for herself.
