First published in 2000, it was the first novel in which [[Terry Brooks\|Brooks]] described the use of futuristic technology, including airships as well as robots and lasers from the Old World. A conversation between the Druid Walker Boh and the Shade of Allanon that was edited from ''Ilse Witch'' was published as part of ''Unfettered'', a collection of fantasy short stories. ~~'''Ilse Witch''' is the first book in [[Terry Brooks]]' [[The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara]] fantasy trilogy. It was first published in 2000.~~ ==Plot summary== ~~It has been~~Set 130 years ~~since~~after the events of the '''Heritage of Shannara''' series, ~~and~~ the [[Free-born]] and [[The Federation (Shannara)\|the Federation]] are still at war. The story follows a quest organized by [[Walker Boh]], the last surviving [[Shannara Druids\|Shannara Druid]]. Thirty years ~~ago~~before the story begins, the [[Elves (Shannara)\|Elven]] prince Kael Elessedil led an expedition in search of a legendary magic which was said to be the most ancient and powerful in the world. ~~Thirty~~At ~~years~~the ~~later~~beginning of the narrative, Kael is found floating in the sea of the Blue Divide; a map is found with him, covered with mysterious symbols. Walker is the only man who can read them. But there is another: the ~~[[Grianne Ohmsford\|~~Ilse Witch]], a beautiful but twisted young woman who is as practiced in magic as Walker himself. She will stop at nothing to possess the map and the magic it leads to. To stop her, Walker must find the magic first. Thus begins the voyage of the sleek, swift airship, the ''Jerle Shannara''. The company chosen by Walker must fly into the face of unknown terrors while the Ilse Witch and her dark allies pursue. This book marked a new era in the ''Shannara'' saga, for it was the first time that [[Terry Brooks\|Brooks]] described the use of futuristic technology, including airships as well as robots and lasers from the Old World. ==Main characters== The main characters are:~~{{notability-inline}}~~ [[Bek Ohmsford]] Ilse Witch ([[Grianne Ohmsford]])~~{{citation needed\|date=September 2013}}~~ [[Quentin Leah~~]]{{citation needed\|date=September 2013}}~~ [[Walker Boh]] [[Ahren Elessedil]] Panax [[Panax (character)\|Panax]]{{citation needed\|date=September 2013}} Cree Bega [[Cree Bega]]{{citation needed\|date=September 2013}} [[Ryer Ord Star~~]]{{citation needed\|date=September 2013}}~~ [[Morgawr (novel)\|Morgawr]] [[Redden Alt Mer]] [[Rue Meridian]] [[Hunter Predd~~]]{{citation needed\|date=September 2013}}~~ *[[Truls Rohk~~]]{{citation needed\|date=September 2013}}~~ ==External links== Line 62 ⟶ 59: [[Category:Shannara novels]] [[Category:2000 American novels]] [[Category:Fiction about airships]] [[Category:High fantasy novels]] [[Category:Del Rey books]] [[Category:Science fantasy novels]]
