PARANOR

'Paranor' is a fictional mountain in Terry Brooks' Shannara series.
Paranor was first constructed by builders from all the Races to house the First Druid Council, under the leadership of the Elf Druid Galaphile. At the summit of Paranor is the Druid's Keep, the castle that serves as home and central hub for all Druids since the First Council. The Druid's Keep is sometimes referred to as Paranor because it sits atop the mountain.
In the ''First King of Shannara'', Paranor is attacked by the evil forces of the Warlock Lord, including rebel Druids loyal to him. The Druid order is destroyed except for Bremen, Tay Trefenwyd, and Risca. At the end of ''First King of Shannara'', the newly created ''Sword of Shannara'' is placed here in a block of Tre-Stone by Jerle Shannara.
After the fall of Paranor to evil forces, Allanon returns to the location on more than one occasion in order to obtain certain knowledges. At one point, Allanon and a party led by himself traveled there to get the Sword of Shannara, only to fall into a trap which was set by the Warlock Lord.
