Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. "We have red skin and red hair. It is said we are red because we kill all who enter our domain, but that is far from truth. It is because we burn redoak chips, and the steam makes us red."

Answer: Slaughterers

Slaughterers sometimes call those with skin lighter than theirs 'ghosts'. Banderbears cannot use fire, sky pirates don't burn redoak and neither do woodtrolls.

2. "Wuh wuh!" This beast is often described as a furry mountain. It has large tusks and mossy fur. Its language is rather difficult to understand, but fourthlings are capable of learning it.

Answer: Banderbear

Both Twig and Rook learned how to speak Banderbear. Lemkins are not big at all. Ratbirds are also small, and they do not have a proper communication call. Logworms don't have fur.

Answer: Termagant trogs

One termagant trog who missed her Blooding Ceremony was Maugin, who became Stone Pilot for Cloud Wolf (Quintinius Verginix) and Twig. Male termagants cannot turn termagant, as the transforming blood is poisonous to them. The others do not even partly match the description.

4. The next specimen is a monstrous plant. It works with the deadly tarry vine. It has an enormous pulsating trunk, which absorbs the blood of its prey.

Answer: Bloodoak

It is with this blood that termagant trogs transform. When Maugin first saw a bloodoak for herself, she realised what horrors happened when a termagant had her Blooding Ceremony.

5. What is the Edge equivalent of a human?

Answer: fourthling

The main characters of the "Edge Chronicles" books have all been fourthlings. Quint Verginix, Twig Verginix and Rook Barkwater were also part of the same family.

6. "We are short and stubby, and we always keep to our paths. We like to play a game called trockbladder. Only young, disobedient children stray from our paths. It's for safety."

Answer: Woodtrolls

Woodtrolls brought up Twig. He wondered why he was taller and skinnier than other woodtrolls until he was told he was actually a foundling. He was then sent to stay with a cousin, but he strayed from the path, resulting in a whole big adventure.

Answer: True

Although Wind Jackal was never mentioned as Orlis, a family tree at the end of 'Freeglader' shows his name was Orlis.

Answer: Fourthlings

The main physical difference between humans and fourthlings is the fact that fourthlings have pointy ears. Grey goblins can be confused with fourthlings too. Slaughterers are easy to tell apart from other races because of their red skin and hair.

Answer: Skullpelts

Twig once saw one and thought it was Spelda Snatchwood. Only a caterbird prevented Twig from getting killed. Fangulars aren't in the "Edge Chronicles".

Answer: Rufus Filatine

'The Blooding of Rufus Filatine' was the fourth barkscroll in 'The Lost Barkscrolls'. Jack Filatine is not a real character. I hope you enjoyed my quiz. Sky knows what score you got! Bye for now.
