Elizabeth Haydon Trivia Questions
1. What is the name of the main character, Rhapsody, at the very beginning of the book?

From Quiz Achmed the Snake's Fun Quiz

Answer: Emily

We first meet her as a young girl living in a farm village, hiding from a marriage lottery. This is when she meets Gwydion, thus changing history.

2. "The Cymrians were the refugees who fled the Island of Serendair prior to its destruction." Who spoke this shocking and heart-breaking phrase to Rhapsody?

From Quiz "Rhapsody" Blurbs!

Answer: Llauron

Almost as soon as they were out of the root, Rhapsody knew they were no longer in Serendair just by looking at the stars. But she didn't realize how far away and how far out of time they had come. Serendair was destroyed when a twin of the star that sank half the island fell from the sky and submerged what remained from the first cataclysm.

3. What was the ingenious weapon created by the Brother that he carries around slung across his back?

From Quiz "Rhapsody" by Elizabeth Haydon

Answer: cwellan

The cwellan is loaded with paper-thin disks made of blue-black metal that shoot out at an incredible speed to instantly kill whatever is being shot at.

4. What did the indigenous people of the "New Land" call the refugees from Serendair?

From Quiz Achmed the Snake's Fun Quiz

Answer: Cymrians

The name comes from the epithet the refugees carved at any new place they came upon: "Cyme we inne fria fram the grip of deap to lif inne dis smylte land."

5. When Merithyn landed on the unknown continent, he carved this phrase on the outside of the cave of the great wyrm, Elynsynos; "Cyme we inne fria fram the grip of deap to lif inne dis smylte land." What does the epithet translate to?

From Quiz "Rhapsody" Blurbs!

Answer: "Come we in peace from the grip of death to life in this fair land."

Elynsynos had morphed herself into the shape of an Ancient Seren, Merithyn's own race, so that he might find her attractive. They fell in love and the wyrm opened up her lands for the first time in the history of the Earth. Whereever the Cymrians from the First Fleet went, they engraved their offering of peace in homage to Elynsynos and her sea-faring lover, as well as markers for those fleets that came after.

6. Rhapsody's profession in the beginning of the book is what?

From Quiz "Rhapsody" by Elizabeth Haydon

Answer: Namer

Namers are the graduated versions of Singers. When they tell the truth, they can change certain things. Rhapsody is quite a powerful Namer.

7. While searching the House of Remembrance, what odd piece of furniture did the three find?

From Quiz The Journey of "Rhapsody" Part 2

Answer: A throne made of bones

Femurs, rib cages, long bones, and vertebrae were fashioned and nailed into a hideous chair, adorned by seven skulls and a red velvet cushion. Nearby is where our heroes found the missing children of Navarne.

8. During their travels, Grunthor teaches Rhapsody the fine art of using the sword. This skill was a big help in defending one another from the vermin that infested the root. In return, she taught Grunthor how to read, write, and what other skill?

From Quiz The Journey of "Rhapsody" Part 1

Answer: How to write/read music

They had endless time along the root, which was plenty to turn Rhapsody into a skilled swordswoman. They had been with each other so long that fighting off the vermin had become routine and each settled into their position as soon as the vermin were in sight.

9. What angry character retorted with this phrase: "Actually, no, it didn't. In my experience they generally move out of the way of a charging horse. It's a good lesson to instill early"?

From Quiz "Rhapsody" Blurbs!

Answer: Anborn

A large black mount was barreling down the road on a direct path headed toward kids who were playing in the road. Rhapsody scattered them before they were trampled and encountered an angry man by the name of Anborn. She asked if he had seen the kids and this is the response he offered.

10. The Brother is said to have a tie to what?

From Quiz "Rhapsody" by Elizabeth Haydon

Answer: Blood

He inherited his tie to blood from the Dracian side of his family, and also from the fact that he was the first Dracian born on the Island of Serendair. That's what makes him such an unerring assassin.

11. Apparently how long were Grunthor, Achmed (the Brother), and Rhapsody on the Root for?

From Quiz "Rhapsody" by Elizabeth Haydon

14. Despite the uneasy feelings left over from Gwylliam's and Anwyn's spat, Rhapsody still found the little cottage enchanting. She convinced Achmed to let her have the grotto, then gave it a name that felt suited it. What did she name the place?

From Quiz The Journey of "Rhapsody" Part 3

Answer: Elysian

It was named after the Serene High King's castle, which was built on a rocky outcropping overlooking the sea. The odd thing was that this was a place she had never seen before, despite giving a description of it.

Answer: Anborn

One of the small boys that Rhapsody rescued from the General and his warhorse stayed by to witness the whole thing. His name was Robin, also the name of one of Rhapsody's brothers and imparted Anborn's name to Rhapsody, since the famous warrior wasn't willing to tell her himself.
