The Ellcrys


The Ellcrys
The Ellcrys is a beautiful tree with a crimson leaves and a silvery bark. The Ellcrys is cited in the two novels of The Shannara Trilogy, with a foremost appearance being into The Elfstones of Shannara, a sequel to the first book.

The Ellcrys, being glorified for her beauty, played a pivotal role in trapping and expelling the demons, which walked on the four lands, into another world called the Forbidding, much like a Prison with a barrier in between.

The creation of Ellcrys was an outcome of efforts by a group of young Elves known as The Chosen, preferred by the Ellcrys itself. The first appearance of Ellcrys is believed to be a crusade for the rebirth of Ellcrys before she died, led by a group of Protagonists.

The Ellcrys has a lifespan of around centuries to millennium during which they exploit every bit of their good healthy in keeping the demons locked in the Forbidding. But over the time they lose their healthy state as they too go through the natural process of lifecycle. As their health gets weaker they start loosening control over the demons as the strength of a seal, they used to lock demons in the forbidding, is dependent on their health. The Ellcrys once gets old and died need a rebirth somewhere at the safe site of four lands called the Safehold.

The Ellcrys is believed to be a sentient mythical tree that communicates telepathically and was known to greet people by touching them.

The Ellcrys is a sentient, mythical tree admired for its beautiful crimson leaves and silvery barks cited foremost in The Elfstones of Shannara.
