Hall of Kings
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hall of Kings is a fictional place in the Shannara series, written by Terry Brooks.
The Hall of Kings is a series of chambers that are said to be built several centuries before. The chambers are filled with dangerous traps and creatures which trespassers must face. The first chamber is filled with stone sphinxes that turn anyone who looks at them to stone. The sphinxes also uses telekinetic powers to force people to look at them. The second chamber is full of shrieking banshees that will gradually drive you insane. The third chamber is actually a sort of vault, being filled with treasure chests, jewels, gold and such. However, they are coated with a venom that kills with just a touch. The fourth, and last, chamber is guarded by the serpent Valg. There are only a few people who are known to prevail over these obstacles, that is the band of fighters in The Sword of Shannara series, and Walker Boh.
