Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What was the name of Menolly's father?

Answer: Yanus

Yanus was also the Sea Holder for Half Circle Sea Hold.

2. Half Circle Sea hold had a great Harper. What was his name?

Answer: Petiron

Petiron was very elderly indeed when he died. Before then, he had been training Menolly because there had been no good boys with musical talent to train to become the new Harper, and Menolly was just so good.

3. Who was Half Circle's Harper's son?

Answer: The Masterharper

Before Petiron died, he sent two of Menolly song's to his son. When he died, there was great confusion, because Petiron said it had been a boy that had written them, not a girl.

4. Pern was plagued by the falling of what?

Answer: Thread

Thread is from the Red Star, and eats away at everything. Dragonfire kills it, and that's why dragonriders are so important to Pern.

5. Why did Menolly's father not want Menolly to be harper?

Answer: Because she's a girl

Half Circle Sea hold was very old fashioned.

6. At the welcoming party of the new harper, who was Menolly told to take care of?

Answer: Old Uncle

It was usually Sella's job, but they wanted Menolly out of the way. Sella helped Menolly by giving her sweet balls of seaweed to give to him if he tried to yell, like he usually did.

7. What is the name of the new harper?

Answer: Elgion

Answer: packtail

The slime from the packtail caused there to be a greater infection. It is believed that her hand could have healed a lot quicker, but Mavi, Menolly mother, healed it so that she would have a hard time playing the guitar anymore.

9. When Menolly first met the fire lizards, why wouldn't they let her up the cliff?

Answer: The Queen wanted her help moving the eggs

The tide was coming in, and the eggs of the queen were going to be swamped by water if they weren't moved. There wasn't enough time for her to move them all herself, for she was the only one big enough (of the fire lizards) to carry them up to higher ground.

10. How many fire lizards did Menolly impress in the cave?

Answer: 9

She impressed two bronzes, three browns, one blue, two greens and one queen.
