In this episode we deep-dive the first three scenes in The Shannara Chronicles (s01e02) Chosen 2.

We cover

• Will and Allanon's first meeting.

• The Dagda Mor and The Changeling embracing and plotting to "Kill The Chosen".

• Eretria and Amerle's first meeting, which quickly devolves into a standoff.

Readers Note 1.

In the Elfstones of Shannara Wil and Allanon meet in somewhat different circumstances. In the novel, Wil is already several years into his apprenticeship as a healer with the Stors (expert healers, predominantly from the race of Gnomes) and Wil is accompanied by his Uncle at the time of Allanon's arrival at Stor Lock. The Wil we find in the novel is aware of Allanon by reputation (his Uncle Flick and Grandfather Shea having told their own stories of the great Druid a dozen times over) so the Wil we find in the novel is more curious than the Wil we find in Chosen P2, where he appears to be both more skeptical and fearful of Allanon.

Readers Note 2.

Brooks' Dagda Mor is described as manlike in appearance, at a distance. But his spine doubled at the shoulders, his scaled forearms and legs, his hooked teeth, His clawed hands, and the random tufts of green hair on his body, quickly gave him away as something other than human.

Brook's "Changeling" (which we assume is the demonic creature we've just met in Chosen P2) is described as being able to model the appearance and characteristics of anything creature it comes in contact with - humanoid or animal.

End Readers Note 2.

Readers Note 3.

The tension between Eretria and Amerble is more pronounced in TSC than in the Elfstones of Shannara. It's built for the faster pace of television.

Readers Note 1.

Arion Elessedil is portrayed in Elfstones as a self-absorbed, condescending, glory-chaser (my words not Terry Brooks'). So the Arion we find in The Shannara Chronicles appears to fit the mould.

We see Arion approaching Allanon sword drawn and demanding to know how he got into the throne room.

Readers Note 1.

In the Arborlon party scene Amberle is wearing a stunning dress and she looks as Lauren says Quote "Absolutely Amazing" Unquote - in 'Elfstones of Shannara' there is little reference to Amerble's physical beauty, although she is often described as having youthful features.

Wil Ohmsford is a central character in The Shannara Chronicles season 1, and also in The Elfstones of Shannara novel. His uncle Flick Ohmsford is one of the unsung heroes of The Sword of Shannara novel, and a very complex character. And in this episode of the podcast, we meet both Wil and Flick, plus we also see the Blue Elfstones for the first time in The Shannara Chronicles.

Both characters are very true to literary sources in this particular sequence, and it was particularly interesting to see how Flick Ohmsford (as mentioned above, very complex literary character) would be portrayed on screen.
