Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What was Briar's name before Niko took him to Winding Circle?

Answer: Roach

'Roach' chose the name Briar for his new name, thinking of the thorny vines with the same name. For his last name, he chose Moss.

2. How is Sandry related to the ruler of Emelan?

Answer: His great-niece

Duke Vedris of Emelan often calls Sandry his favourite niece.

3. What is the name of Daja's teacher?

Answer: Frostpine

Frostpine is the famous metal-mage, the only one who can work with all types of metal - save Daja.

4. Tris' cousin, Aymery, was killed in the second book. How did this happen?

Answer: The pirate mage, Enahar, sent a man to kill him

Aymery had gambling debts with Enahar, the pirate mage. He was repaying them by treacherously sneaking around Winding Circle. Tris and Briar caught him out one night, as he let a group of killers in the city gate. Unfortunately, one of the killers informed Aymery that 'the deal was off' and murdered him.

5. What happened to Rosethorn, Briar's teacher, in book number four?

Answer: She caught blue pox and half-died

Rosethorn catches the deadly blue pox in an accidental spill of the stuff. She becomes very sick, but Briar will not let her die. When she finally passes away, Briar goes with her, and - with the help of the other girls - brings her back to the living.

6. Daja is a special kind of Trader - someone who is cursed and outcasted. What is this called?

Answer: Trangshi

Daja is made trangshi after she is the lone survivor of a shipwreck. It is the cruel way of the Traders.

7. Niklaren Goldeye has a special power that hardly any mages have. What is it?

Answer: To see things others can't

Hence his name. Goldeye has the incredible power to see magic, see the future, work complicated seeing spells and other things of that nature. He is also an excellent truthsayer (lie detector).

8. In book one, Sandry's parents are killed in a terrible plague. What happends to her nursemaid, Pirisi?

Answer: She is killed by a mad crowd of people

Pirisi, Sandry's Trader nursemaid, seals Sandry in a hidden room to protect her from a crazed mob of people. She tells Sandry that she will be back once the madness and the plague die out, but is attacked by the mob before she can do so.

9. How did the four children get their overeager, loveable dog, Little Bear?

Answer: They saved him from torture by some other children

A few other children were torturing the poor puppy in an alley, so the four get into a fight with them and save the dog.

10. In book three, what is the name of the wirok member of Tenth Caravan Idaram?

Answer: Polyam

Polyam was permanently injured in an accident, and, by Trader law, was declared 'wirok', a member of Traders with little honour, hardly better than trangshi - one who buys small needed things for her group, like food, supplies, weapons.
