When the action picks up a year later, the characters have scattered.
Lets catch up with them, shall we?
Eretria
Our reformed Rover learns that her troll captors from season 1 are actually humans in camouflage.

He invites her to make a home with his people in what remains of San Francisco.
He topples in (or she can we really determine troll gender?
This seems like a poor tactical choice, but trolls, ya know?
Motivated by her vision of Amberle, Eretria asks Cogline about her old friends.
He tells her they never came looking for her and urges her to let go of her old life.
May that hideous thing never grace his neck again.
She ignores his advice, and she and Lyria set out to find her friends.
Bandon and Allanon
Bandons also rocking a new lewk this season, but its way less cute than Eretrias.
His hair is long, his skin is greasy, and his eyes are vicious.
Four Lands Disney, its not.
Inside, they find an elaborate casket and, somehow, merrily burning candles.
Once there, Bandon starts to speechify about the Warlock Lords blade calling them together to resurrect their master.
His minions will be reborn as mord wraiths, while Bandon will learn from a Druid with real power.
The heart starts beating and dripping blood onto the casket.
Suddenly the doors blow up to reveal everyones favorite grumpy Druid.
Suddenly Bandon has a vision that tells him Wil Ohmsford will knows where to find the Warlock Lords skull.
He orders his crew to find the Shannara.
The mord wraiths screech into flight as Allanon clings to a narrow ledge, watching helplessly.
Theyre tapping into elvish fear and hate and turning the citizenry against Ander.
Hes even got a drawing of Wil on a most-wanted baseball card-jot down thing.
So whats going on with Wil himself?
After he leaves, she uses magic to heal the burn.
Dr. Gnome suggests that healing may not be Wils calling, particularly when he has a far greater gift.
(Hint: It starts with e and ends in lfstones.)
Wil says the price of magic is too high.
Im not interested in saving the world anymore, just the people that I care about.
Dr. Gnome gives him one more chance to get it together or hes out.
That night, Wil uses the Elfstones to summon a vision of Amberle.
Back in his room, Mareth gets a load of his stab wound and wants to fetch a healer.
Dang, lady, you dont know his life!
Wil wakes up to the sound of distress outside as wounded people stagger in from Shady Vale.
A survivor tells Wil that The Crimson were looking for him.
His uncle Flick hid during the attack, but the man doesnt know what became of him.
Wils understandably startled by an enormous demon materializing in his quarters and blasting him through the wall.
He turns in shock to find that Mareth created the illusion.
His sense of humor?
It remains to be seen.
