History
Before the Great Wars
Before the Great Wars, humans believed they were the only existing race. Civilisation had been developed for thousands of years. Man used the study of science to discover better ways to live and quicker ways to kill. Two thousand years prior to the events of The Sword of Shannara, their achievements were unparalleled in earth’s history.1The Sword of Shannara – pp 153-154
Great Wars
Tension began building slowly from small disputes between a few peoples and spreading steadily; from little matters to basic hatreds. Then suddenly the world was enveloped in a series of retaliatory attacks and in a matter of minutes, there was an almost total destruction of life.2The Sword of Shannara – p 155
