[Circus Cranium]

(The first trilogy covers the destruction of the old world (I've always assumed this was us Nuking ourselves and in fact several references are found in the shannara sereis regarding "science gone wrong" in the "early days")


The first hint I got of this is in Isle Witch at the end (I haven't read the other 2 in the series, so don't tell me if it will spoil it) when they found that lost city, with it's machines and weirdly advance technology. It was like...huh? The Four Lands have always been sort of like a medieval STar Wars, some distant off world, but suddenly it was like Planet of The Apes.........is this OUR world, post apocalypse? Vewy Intewesting.....
