[edit] Halys Cut

Halys Cut Shannara location
Inhabitants	none
Location	the far west of the Westland
First appearance	The Elfstones of Shannara

Halys Cut was one of two locations where the Elves first attempted to slow the Demons on their mission to destroy the Ellcrys.^[2] The Elves were forced to retreat from the Cut, and pulled back. After Allanon defeated a Dragon, the Cut was blocked by a massive landslide caused by the enormous creature's fall. ^[2]

[edit] Worl Run

Worl Run Shannara location
Inhabitants	none
Location	the far west of the Westland

Worl Run was the second location where the Elves first attempted to slow the Demons.^[2] The Elves were also driven from here and were forced to retreat, similar to the events at Halys Cut. Arion Elessedil died here when attempting to retrive the battle standard.^[3]

[edit] Baen Draw

Baen Draw Shannara location
Inhabitants	none
Location	the far west of the Westland
First appearance	The Elfstones of Shannara

Baen Draw was another location where the Elves attempted to slow the Demons.^[2] This was the planned fall-back for when Halys Cut and Worl Run eventually fell. After it was suggested by Stee Jans, a new tactic of defending was successfully implemented here, allowing the Elves to hold the pass for a day.^[2] The Demons then came again at midnight,^[2] but once more the Elves threw them back after Allanon threw a powder into the air, allowing the Elves to see who was attacking them.^{[citation needed]} However, the commander of the army, Kael Pindanon, died in this battle, so Ander decided to name Stee Jans as a replacement.^[2] Soon after this occurred, Elven trackers reported that a larger army than the one they were currently facing was attempting to flank them from the north, so the Elves retreated out the Draw back to Arborlon, abandoning the Sarandanon.^[2]

[edit] Sarandanon

Inhabitants	scattered villages
Location	west of Arborlon
First appearance	The Elfstones of Shannara
