First Aired: 18th October 2017. Directed By: Brad Turner. Written By: Evan Endicott. Josh Stoddard.
Oct 19, 2017 · “Wraith” is a solidly enjoyable hour that smartly uses short scenes and quick cuts to keep things moving along briskly in a dialogue-heavy episode. **Spoilers ahead!** Wil & Mareth. The episode opens with Wil and Mareth running from the wraiths that found them last week.
- Overview
- History
Mord Wraiths are a group of powerful sorcerers and the principles antagonists in The Wishsong of Shannara. They were human servants of the Warlock Lord who recovered and were subverted by the Ildatch, the magical tome from the Age of Faerie which Brona used to become the Warlock Lord.
When the Warlock Lord fell, the Druid Allanon searched the ruins of Skull Mountain to find the Ildatch. He could not find it and assumed it had been lost forever. However, somehow it was preserved and recovered by a sect of the Warlock Lord's human followers: would-be sorcerers of various Races who were not subject to the power of the Sword of Shannara and were therefore not destroyed along with their master when Shea Ohmsford defeated Brona.
More than sixty years before Allanon came to Brin Ohmsford seeking her assistance in destroying the Ildatch, these sorcerors took the Ildatch back into their Eastland lair, where, hidden from the Races, they began to delve into the magic and its secrets. They were subverted by the Ildatch, just like the Skull Bearers that served Brona, but this time, instead of flying, the evil walked the land. Eventually, as the sorcerers began to enslave Gnomes and send them out to battle the Dwarves, they began to be called Mord Wraiths, or "black walker" in the Gnome language.
Mord Wraiths were feared throughout the lands for tales of their power: They destroyed men's minds, burned whole bodies into blackened char with a magical red fire, and could walk without a trace of sound or movement. They were described as tall, soundless, faceless things, wrapped in black cloaks with hoods that hid their features. At times they carried staffs of burnished witch wood, such as when they summoned a Kraken at Capaal.
Allanon tried to get to the Ildatch to destroy it and the Mord Wraiths, but he failed to penetrate the Maelmord, the magical, semi-sentient forest the black walkers had created around the tome to protect it. He was forced to give up and seek the help of Brin, who could use her wishsong to create a path through the forest.

The Wraith continued to build up the story and started to bring together the core characters once again. One problem I do have with that though is there are a lot of new characters that have just been thrown into the show and somehow, we are expected to take to them as if they had been with us since the series premiere.
