5. Coryn does not regain his gift at the end of "The Fall of Neskaya".

Answer: False

At the end of the book it is hinted that his laran returns, though not to full strength.

6. Whom does Bard marry at the end of "Two To Conquer"?

Answer: Melora

Answer: Maura Elhalyn

Maura Elhalyn used to be monitor in Tramontana before marrying Carolin. She was also betrothed to Carolin's greatest foe Rakhal.

8. How was Hali destroyed?

Answer: by clingfire

Hali Tower is the tower, which is definitely destroyed during the books, but it is unclear as to whether it stays a ruin or not. In some later books a keeper at Hali is mentioned, whereas it is clearly a ruin during the Margaret Alton Cycle.

9. Ashara Alton was the first female keeper on Darkover.

Answer: False

Felicia Leynier was in fact the first female keeper on Darkover, though Ashara Alton was no doubt the most famous during the Ages of Chaos and the immediate time afterwards.

10. The Ages of Chaos ended with the signing of the Compact.

Answer: True

Even though the fighting resumed after the death of Varzil and King Carolin, all the laran weapons had been destroyed and the historians count the Compact as the end of the Ages of Chaos.
