RIMMER DALL See Rimmer Dall for more info. HIRHONE/TEEL Hirhone, a blacksmith working for the Free-born, was at one point possessed by a Shadowen, thus allowing it access to the Free-born's secrets. This Shadowen later possessed Teel, a Dwarf who had penetrated the Free-born headquarters. Despite the Shadowen's best efforts, the Free-born escaped and it was destroyed by Morgan Leah. DEMONS OF MORROWINDL The artificial creatures of Morrowindl, named Demons after those trapped in the Forbidding, are in fact different varieties of Shadowen. Like their counterparts, they feed upon magic drawn from the earth. There were several species:
All the Morrowindl Demons were destroyed by the eruption of Killeshan. WISTERON The Wisteron was one of the most feared Demons on Morrowindl, living in the In Ju swamp. It set webs and traps out to catch it's victims. Monstrous in size, Wren Ohmsford , her friend Garth , and the Splinterscat Stresa narrowly avoided being caught by it. Unfortunately, when the Rukh Staff had to be brought off of Morrowindl, Wren's cousin, Gavilan, stole the staff and fled into the In Ju. There he was caught and disemboweled by the Wisteron, and the Staff fell to the many bones below it's hammock of webs. The small group attempting to leave the island had to retrieve the Staff, but as they neared their goal, the volcano Killeshan rumbled heavily and woke the Wisteron. The creature immediately attacked the group, and as hard as they fought, they could not beat the creature. It was so powerful a demon, that the Elfstones that Wren held could not destroy it. The Wisteron rendered all of the group but Wren and her loyal Tree Squeak, Faun, helpless. After Faun attacked the Wisteron, Wren concentrated the power of the Elfstones on the mud beneath the Demon. The mud started to grow thinner, and the Wisteron fell beneath it to be buried, where it would then die. However, it still took it's toll, having poisoned Garth with it's Shadowen venom. The Wisteron had the appearance of a cross between a gigantic spider and a monkey. It had a tail, long neck, and four legs that appeared to have totally free movement. TIB ARNE/GLOON Two Shadowen, one disguised as a boy and the other as a War Shrike, were tasked by Rimmer Dall with destroying Wren Elessedil. Gaining Wren's trust, they eventually betrayed her and captured her. The two were later destroyed by a team effort of Wren, the Wing Rider Tiger Ty and his Roc Spirit. THE FOUR HORSEMEN The most feared of the Shadowen sent against the Scions of Shannara, they were modeled after the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Each rode a lizard-like mount. They were sent to battle Walker Boh, and he managed to defeat them by turning their powers on each other. They were as follows:
