Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which of these gives men a cause to fight for?

Answer: Soul

"The head suggests the plans, the heart gives men spirit, the backbone gives them strength, the belly gives them confidence. The soul gives them the cause to fight for." Ironhand tells Sigarni this when he is teaching her lessons of war.
2. Who is the first to swear the oath of loyalty to Sigarni?

Answer: Ballistar

Ballistar is the first to swear to Sigarni, though he doesn't speak the oath. Asmidir is the second, he pledges his sword, his experience and if necessary, his life. Obrin is third, by necessity. Fell saved his life by making him his son. Obrin swears when he realizes that Sigarni's way is the right way. Fell is fourth.
3. Which man betrayed Sigarni and the clans?

Answer: Bakris

Bakris went to the Baron with information about how Sigarni would fortify the hilltop. He thought that the Highlanders would die and he could live. Turns out he was wrong. When he returned to the Highland army, Sigarni had him hung.
4. The last battle, when the clans were broken and the Outlanders were put in charge, happened on Duane Pass.

Answer: False

The battle at Duane pass was where Sigarni defeated and killed the Baron. Colden Moor was the battle where the clans were broken. With a few pronunciation changes, it could be Culloden Moor, where the Scottish clans were broken. Similar, isn't it?
5. How many silver pieces was Asmidir going to send to Kollarin in Citadel town for agreeing not to hunt Sigarni?

Answer: 100

Kollarin refused to hunt Sigarni. Ironhand told him to delay the searchers. That's when Kollarin realized that Sigarni was an innocent. He had never been asked to hunt an innocent person before.
6. Where did Sigarni hide when she was stealing cakes from Tovi?

Answer: Behind the water barrel

When she was a child, Sigarni would steal cakes from the bakery when Tovi went outside. He always knew that it was her because he could smell lemon mint when he came back inside. He never minded because she was an orphan and everyone loved her.
7. What land did Sigarni, Ironhand, and Ballistar travel to to find the Crown of Alwen?

Answer: Yur - vale

Talesin sent them through a lesser Gateway. The Pallides had asked for the Crown of Alwen as a sign that Sigarni was the Chosen One. Yos - shiel is a river trader in Yur - vale, Zir - vak is a city in Yur - vale that had the Great Library, and Kal - vak was the kingdom where the opposing army is from.
8. What caused the war that made the sun disappear from Yur- vale?

Answer: A woman

"The King's grandfather fell in love with a noblewoman from the east, but she was betrothed to the King of Kal - vak." When she was sent to Kal- vak, against her will, the King swore he'd free her. Yru - vale and Kal - vak have been at war for over 240 years over a woman that, along with most of the original players of this sad game, is dead."
9. What unorthodox tactic did Sigarni use do defend the hilltop?

Answer: She used the Highland women

It seemed to Leofric that the Highland army had doubled in numbers, since he'd already estimated that there were 3,000 fighting. The Highlanders couldn't use their entire force to attack the Outlanders and defend the hilltop at the same time, so Leofric realized that the hilltop was defended by the Highland women.
10. After the battle at Duane Pass, Obrin believes that the king will listen to reason.

Answer: false

Obrin tells Torgan that the king will send Jastey and twenty thousand men to the Highlands. They will be there before fall. Torgan, who after much doubt, became a faithful follower of Sigarni, tells Obrin that they will be ready for the Outlanders.
