“It was samadhi, now named Sheol, who mastered the heart of Berek’s liege—Sheol who slaughtered the champions of the Land, and drove Berek, half-unhanded and alone, to his extremity on the slopes of Mount Thunder.

Now the three are united with Lord Foul again—united, and clamoring for the decimation of the Land.
