Rone Leah

Rone Leah is a character from "The Wishsong of Shannara" by Terry Brooks. He is the great-grandson of Menion Leah.

Biography

Rone is, like his ancestor, a close friend of the Ohmsford family, particularly Brin Ohmsford and her brother Jair Ohmsford. When Allanon comes to Shady Vale seeking Brin's help against the Mord Wraiths, Rone argues against it, but when Brin decides to go, Rone comes along as her protector. After multiple clashes with Allanon, the Druid imbues the Sword of Leah with magic. (Rone, of the race of Man, is probably able to use magic because his ancestor Mareth did so.)

Rone quickly grows addicted to the magic's power, but continues to serve as Brin's protector and close friend. During a foolish attempt to aid Allanon in battle against a vicious Jachyra, Rone is injured and loses the Sword of Leah. After recovering, he and Brin reclaim it with the help of Cogline, and then set out to finish what they started.

Rone did battle with the Mord Wraiths at Graymark and survived to return home. According to the Brooks short story "Indomitable" he and Brin married. This would also make him an ancestor of Walker Boh, though this story line is never explored. Whatever else happened, his bloodline would continue and yield another great champion of the Four Lands: Morgan Leah.
