The Earthsea Cycle

Skiorh, a formidable wizard, emerged in the third book of the Earthsea Cycle, “The Farthest Shore,” published in 1972. He serves as an antagonist, aiding the malevolent mage, Benderesk, in his pursuit of immortality. Skiorh’s character is marked by cruelty and ruthlessness, ultimately leading to his defeat by Ged, the Archmage of Earthsea. Despite his limited presence in the series, Skiorh’s actions profoundly impact the world of Earthsea and its inhabitants.

In recent years, Skiorh’s character has gained renewed attention due to the popularity of the Earthsea Cycle. The series has been adapted into various media, including a television miniseries and an animated film, further solidifying Skiorh’s place as a memorable antagonist in the fantasy genre.
