Brona, now known as the Warlock Lord, had been behind the First War of the Races, and was thought to have died during it.
This is evidenced by their allegiance to the Warlock Lord in The Sword of Shannara and to the Mord Wraiths in The Wishsong of Shannara.
After defeating a dragon like creature and knocking Weka Dart out of a tree, she has a frightening encounter with the shade of Brona, the most legendary evil from the Four Lands, and Grianne is captured by a party of Demons.
Skull Bearers were Druids once upon a time, but they were subverted by the Ildatch along with Brona, who would later become the Warlock Lord.

Jerle is distantly related to the Elven king, but he becomes next in line for the throne when the Warlock Lord's minions assassinate the entire royal family with the exception of the last son of Courtann Ballindarroch (the king), Alyten, who happened to have been away on a hunting trip, and two grandchildren of the king who were still toddlers.
It remained harmless until the Druid Brona found it in the halls of Paranor and began to read and unlock its terrible secrets.
