Fantasy Trivia

1. Both series have a group of powerful, female magic-users. Who is a Sister of the Light in "The Sword of Truth" and NOT a member of the Aes Sedai in "The Wheel of Time"?

From Quiz "The Sword of Truth" vs. "The Wheel of Time"

Answer: Verna Sauventreen

Verna Sauventreen is a member of the Sisters of the Light in "The Sword of Truth" and one of the three sisters sent to bring Richard Rahl back to the Palace of the Prophets. Verna is described as being an attractive women seemingly in her forties. Decades of exposure to the time-slowing spell placed on the Palace of the Prophets has her looking younger than her actual age of over 150. She is a skilled magic-user with a stubborn, though caring personality and over time becomes a strong ally of Richard Rahl. Siuan Sanche, Moiraine Damodred, and Cadsuane Melaidhrin are all members of the Aes Sedai in "The Wheel of Time", an organization of female magic users. Siuan and Moraine are members of the Blue Ajah grouping, described as being focused on "causes" and Cadsuane is a member of the Green (or "battle") Ajah. As with all Aes Sedai, the effects of magic grant them an extended lifespan and slowed aging.

From Quiz Swords of Legend

Answer: Gandalf

Glamdring was the sword which was first wielded by Turgon, King of Gondolin. When he perished when the Tower of the King collapsed upon him, the fate of his sword was the same. However, years later it must have been recovered by trolls. Bilbo and his merry band of dwarves encountered three trolls who were about to eat them, but for the smart deception by Gandalf. Defeating the trolls, the party found their loot in their lair, and in the pile were two swords of Gondolin, Glamdring and Orcrist (and Bilbo's short-sword Sting as well). Gandalf claimed Glamdring while Thorin Oakenshield claimed Orcrist. The story of this sword can be found in JRR Tolkien's "The Hobbit", "Lord of the Rings", "The Silmarillion" as well as in "Unfinished Tales".

From Quiz What in the World?

Answer: Wardrobe

This land would, of course, be Narnia from the "Chronicles of Narnia" series written by C. S. Lewis. While there are several ways to get to and from Narnia that have been used in the series, the very first way Lucy Pevensie travels to Narnia is by entering a wardrobe, which was made from enchanted wood.

The first book is "Sabriel", written in 1995. The next book, "Lirael", was written in 2001. In this series, the Abhorsen is a necromancer who makes sure that the dead stay dead. All other necromancers are enemies of the Abhorsen and seek to raise the dead for nefarious purposes.

From Quiz J. R. R. Tolkien vs G. R. R. Martin

Turgon was the second son of Fingolfin, second son of Finwe. Turgon is often called "The Wise". Turgon was one of the most influential figures in the First Age of Middle-Earth. His kingdom, Gondolin, lasted the longest of the great Elven realms against the Dark Lord Morgoth. Turgon was, however, betrayed by his nephew, Maeglin, who turned the location of Gondolin over to the Dark Lord because of an unrequited love.

From Quiz Sometimes the Magic Works, Sometimes It Doesn't

Answer: an Old Lodge Skins line from the movie and novel "Little Big Man" by Thomas Berger

While Thomas Berger's "Little Big Man" does not fall into the realm of fantasy, Old Lodge Skin's dream power is worthy of any novel that does. Furthermore, "LBM," like the best fantasy works, is an entertaining tale that makes penetrating comments on alienation, prejudice, and perceptions of reality. The three incorrect choices are fake titles I conjured from actual titles: "Soul Music" by Terry Pratchett, "Waiting for Godot," a play by Samuel Beckett, and "The Magician's Nephew" by C.S. Lewis.

From Quiz The Many Magical Worlds of Fantasy Fiction

Answer: Dorne

Reminiscent of Moorish Spain and North Africa, Dorne is hot, arid and mountainous, and therefore sparsely populated. Ruled by House Martell, whose seat is the city of Sunspear, it is a fiercely independent land, and has often proved a thorn in the side of the rulers of the Seven Kingdoms. The remaining choices can all be found on the huge continent of Essos, which is a parallel of Asia. Braavos is one of the Free Cities, situated across the Narrow Sea from Westeros, while Slaver's Bay and the ancient, triple-walled city of Qarth lie further east.

From Quiz What Fantasy Land am I?

Answer: Pern

'The Dragonriders of Pern' (Parallel Earth Resources Negligible was the description given by the survey ship that discovered the planet) was perhaps the best known of Anne McCaffrey's works. In this series, dragons and humans develop a telepathic bond, allowing them to fight the regular incursions of the all-devouring 'thread' a mindless organism which consumes organic matter. McCaffrey wrote many series during her lifetime, including the 'Catteni' series (featuring the world of Botany, named in homage to Botany Bay, the original name of Sydney). She was also known for 'The Tower and Hive' (featuring the 'Talents' who can harness the powers of teleportation and telepathy, and featuring the world of Deneb). 'The Crystal Singer' showcases McCaffrey's love of music, while the 'Dinosaur Planet' and the 'Generation Warriors' interconnecting series highlight the darker side of the Federation of Sentient Planets. While McCaffrey considered herself to be a science-fiction author, many of her books borrowed heavily from the fantasy genre. An influential author, she was the first woman to win both the 'Hugo' and 'Nebula' prizes.

From Quiz We're the Monsters!

Answer: Werewolf

The werewolf (lycanthrope, loup-garou) is seen regularly in modern fantasy works. In the World of Darkness White Wolf has published the roleplaying game settings 'Werewolf: the Wild West' as well as 'Werewolf: the Apocalypse' honoring this monster. Consider reading these works if you need more information on werewolves. You can also see the werewolf, for example, in the 'Underworld' movie series or in the 2004 movie 'Van Helsing' starring Hugh Jackman and Kate Beckinsale. One of the more charming versions of the werewolf can be seen in the 1985 movie 'Teen Wolf' with Michael J. Fox. Please excuse me for not referring to Meyer's 'Twilight' series. I tried to but I really couldn't do it.

From Quiz Swinging on a Star

Answer: It brings a deadly threat to life on Pern.

Pern, third planet in the Rukbat system, resembles our planet Earth in many ways, and can support human life. However, every 250 turns (years), the Red Star (actually a planet) causes a 50-year intermittent bombardment of mycorrhizoid spores to the planet's surface. These spores not only devour plant life, but also cause severe injury to any humans or animals they touch. (Luckily, this "thread" can be destroyed by fire-breathing dragons, which also happen to exist on Pern!)

Some scholars think she is the same character as the White Witch in "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe", others point to a comment about "all these northern witches..." which implies she is not.
