Goldenlake is the name of the fief that Raoul's family owns. Malorie's Peak is the lands that Raoul receives after he is elevated to the peerage. Golden Lake is incorrect as there is no space in the Fief name. And of course, Naxen is the home fief of one of Raoul's friends, Gareth the younger.

7. "Song of the Lioness"- What Bazhir tribe did Alanna and Coram get accepted in to?

From Quiz Tamora Pierce Books
