- Biography
Lauren is a character in The Elfstones of Shannara. He was the youngest of the Chosen and the first to discover that the Ellcrys, the magical tree that maintained the Forbidding, was sick and dying.
Lauren came from a small village north of Arborlon, where people placed much more faith in the old stories of the Ellcrys that described how it was a powerful, magical talisman that protected the Elves and the world itself from Demons. In Arborlon, the city folks were more likely to view the same stories as outdated fictions and the tree as just a symbol of the Elven nation's resilience.
After Amberle Elessedil, the first woman in over 500 years to be selected as a Chosen, abandoned her duties and disappeared from the Westland, the rest of the Chosen were directed to never speak of her again. However, Lauren had always liked Amberle and gotten along with her.
One evening around sunset, about eleven months into the Chosen's twelve months of service and well after Amberle had disappeared, Lauren noticed what looked like wilt on the Ellcrys' leaves. Disturbed, he confided in Jase, the oldest of the Chosen, the next morning as they were heading to the tree to greet it and start their day. Jase, to cheer him up, offered to have Lauren perform the Chosen's morning greeting to the Ellcrys.
But when Lauren got close to the tree, he noticed the damage was worse than he had thought the day before. The tree then spoke to Lauren, asking him to call all the Chosen to her. They gathered around her and heard from her for the first time that not only were the stories of the tree were real, but also that she was dying and unless she was saved, all the Demons would break free from the Forbidding and destroy the Elves and the Four Lands.
Lauren went to find King Eventine Elessedil to tell him about the tree's plight. He ran into Ander, the king's second son and Amberle's uncle, and Ander arranged for the king to meet with Lauren in private. After learning that Eventine had been a Chosen in his youth and was familiar with how the tree communicated to its caretakers, Lauren told the king everything:
The Ellcrys would deliver her seed to one of the Chosen, and no one else but a Chosen would be able to be the bearer of the seed. Whoever was selected would have to carry the seed to the Bloodfire, the life source of the earth, and immerse the seed in the fire. Once returned to the site of the old tree, the seed would take root and a new tree would spring forth to replace the old.
