Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Who is the main enemy introduced in this book?

Answer: Obould Many-Arrows

Admittedly there are others working behind the scenes, but given Obould's desires, it really wouldn't have taken much to get him going. Especially since orcs and dwarves are such heated enemies. The interesting thing about Obould is that he seems to be a bit more intelligent than other orcs seem to be.
2. Who is Obould's ally, although neither really care for the alliance beyond what they can get out of it?

Answer: Gerti Orelsdottr

While Kaer'lic and Donnia are certainly in on it, I hesitate to call them allies, seeing as they are simply prodding both the orcs and frost giants simply for the sake of chaos and don't really care if the orcs and frost giants get killed. Urlgen is Obould's son, therefore an alliance would be completely unnecessary.
3. What is Bruenor Battlehammer searching for?

Answer: he is on the trail of enemies

Cormanthor is the ancient name of Myth Drannor, and was home to elves in ancient times before they were run out by demons, and as such Bruenor had no reason to want to find it. Mithral Hall had so much mithril that it had no reason for other materials. Gauntlgrym is mentioned as a place Bruenor wants to find to bring back something lost to the dwarves for a long time.

The main point of the book is to find the orcs that had attacked Tred and Nikwillig's caravan.
4. Which dwarf in Mirabar was integral in causing the rift in the clan and left with many to join Bruenor's clan?

Answer: Torgar Hammerstriker

Agrathan was on the council of Mirabar, and certainly didn't want to see things deteriorate like they did. Shingles left with Torgar, but didn't do as much as Torgar did to instigate things. Shoundra was human, ruling her out completely.
5. Which is not one of the four drow (dark elves) working behind the scenes prodding the orcs and frost giants?

Answer: Tsinka Shrinrill

Tsinka is the shaman for Obould's tribe. The fourth dark elf behind the scenes is Kaer'lic Suun Wett. As an interesting side note, Tos'un is the only dark elf from Menzoberranzan. The other three are from Ched Nasad.
6. What are the names of the two moon elves moving around the Spine of the World killing orcs?

Answer: Tarathiel and Innovindil

Ivan and Pikel are dwarves, and Cadderly and Danica are humans. Drizzt is obviously a drow, and while Ellifain qualifies as a moon elf, she died in battle against Drizzt.
7. Where were the Battlehammer dwarves and the companions when the orcs and frost giants caught up with them?

Answer: Shallows

They'd gone there to warn the inhabitants of danger, but the orcs and giants surrounded the town and eventually destroyed it. The frost giants attacked from a distance with boulders, while the orcs waited it out until the giants could bring the walls down.
8. Who was it that Drizzt saw fall with the wizard's tower in Shallows?

Answer: Dagnabbit

Drizzt saw a dwarf-sized figure fall, wearing Bruenor's one-horned helmet, and assumed it was Bruenor. Bruenor had been wounded before that point, and Dagnabbit had gone to the top of the tower to take charge.
9. What are the names of the pegasi that Innovindil and Tarathiel ride?

Answer: Sunrise and Sunset

Withergoo is the name of the wizard in Shallows. Bobo is mentioned as a donkey that Pikel befriended at the Spirit Soaring in the Snowflake Mountains. Bluster and Hooter are a bear and an owl attached to Montolio DeBruchie, the ranger who trained Drizzt. Twinkle and Icingdeath are the names of Drizzt's scimitars.
10. What Stronghold did Obould once hold, that he initially wants again?

Answer: Citadel Felbarr

This is mentioned by the four dark elves during one of their discussions away from their pawns. Obould had driven the dwarves out of Citadel Felbarr, and had renamed it the Citadel of Many-Arrows. It was later retaken by the dwarves.
