Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The god Torak, after learning from Aldur that disciples were very handy indeed, took on three. Name the one Belgarath stuffed into solid rock.

Answer: Zedar

Zedar, Urvon, and Ctuchik all hated each other. If they had gotten along, it's possible that the Prophecy of Dark would have won.

2. What name did Naradas the white-eyed grolim take on the island of Perivor?

Answer: Erezel

Zandramas sent Naradas to make sure Belgarath didn't get his hands on the map that would tell him where the CHOICE would be made. He failed, however, and wound up dead.

3. What was the original name of the Salmissra that ordered the assassination of King Gorek the Wise?

Answer: Ilessa

Ilessa drank poison when Belgarath and Beldin invaded Nyissa, but lived long enough to tell Belgarath why she had the Rivan Royal Family assassinated, and was glad to hear that the youngest prince had survived.

4. Who is the Nadrak woman Vella's owner when she is first introduced?

Answer: Tashor

When we meet Vella, Tashor is selling her. She was bought by a fur trapper named Tekk, whom she loved dearly until he died. She then became enraptured by Beldin.

Answer: Grolim Prophecies of Rak Cthol (or Prophecies of the Western Grolims)

Both titles are listed, as the book was called by both names. Belgarath was following Geran's trail in the "mysteries" or prophecies, and he desperately needed a copy of this book.

Answer: Khaldon

You kind of get the feeling that they don't REALLY hate each other, that it's all just for show.

7. What is King Cho-Hag's OFFICIAL title?

Answer: Chief of the Clan Chiefs of Algaria

The Algarians see the clan as the most important thing, so it makes more sense for their king to be "Chief of the Clan Chiefs".

8. Where did the Sardion come from?

Answer: Zamad

Supposedly this milky orange stone, the counterpart to the Orb of Aldur, fell out of the sky. In response to that information, Beldin said he would like to see something rise up out of the ground for once, just for variety.

9. How old was Prince Kheva when his father, King Rhodar, died?

Answer: 6

Kheva was Silk's offices in Drasnia when a messenger was sent to retrieve Kheva. The giveaway was that the messenger called Kheva "his Majesty" rather than "his Highness."

10. Beginning with the birth of Geran, how long did it take Garion & Co. to reach Ashaba, where Velvet was to kill Harakan?

Answer: 16 moons

Silk had problems with this, because he kept wanting to say "moons" and "months" were the same thing. Polgara had to explain the difference to him.

11. What was the name of the man that supervised the building of Barak's ship, The Seabird?

Answer: Krendig

Barak's ship was criticized by many, they said it was too big, and it steered like a whale.

12. What is the name of the Nyissan poison that only works when the victim gets excited?

Answer: Athsat

There was a case of this in one of the books, the gentleman who had been poisoned was intentionally angered, then dies. We are then told that the man who had him poisoned was ALSO dosed with athsat, but he said he had nothing to worry about because he could easily control his emotions.

13. What is the name of Polgara's Duchy?

Answer: Erat

Erat is present day Sendaria. Polgara was given this duchy when she was politely ramming peace down the throats of the dimwitted Arends.

14. Garion is dragooned into boar-hunting while in Cherek. During the expedition, he manages to overhear the plotting of a traitor. What is the name of this traitor?

Answer: Earl of Jarvik

Garion manages to prevent a lot of trouble with this little expedition, while at the same time, getting INTO a lot of trouble.

15. What is the name of the teacher that helps Ce'Nedra run away from Tol Honeth?

Answer: Master Jeebers

Ce'Nedra convinced Master Jeebers that he was taking her away on Ran Borune's orders. When they encounter Garion & Co., her identity is figured out, and Jeebers runs back to Tol Honeth to save his own neck.

16. The sorcerers in the Bel/Mal often use shapeshifting as an alternate mode of transportation, and they all seem to have their favorite shapes. What is Beldin's favorite shape?

Answer: blue banded hawk

Belgarath tells Zakath that Beldin favors this shape, and Zakath says there's no such thing. When he finally sees Beldin in hawk form, he's in awe. Belgarath says that Beldin created the species because he didn't like the regular colors.

17. Besides Korim, one other place is referred to as "The Place that is No More." Name this place.

Answer: Vo Wacune

Vo Wacune was destroyed when "Polgara's Peace" fell apart. Polgara would have perished with the city, had it not been for her beloved Ontrose making her leave.

18. About how many years did Beldin spend watching the cave where Zedar had Torak's body hidden?

Answer: 500

Beldin changed into a flea once and rode Zedar into the cage. He bit Zedar on the head while he was there. Belgarath got a chuckle out of that story.

19. Who was the heir to the Baron of Vo Ebor, bearing in mind that he and Nerina were childless?

Answer: Sir Embrig

This proved an interesting situation when the Baron died. It resulted in Garion forcing Mandorallen and Nerina to wed at swordpoint.

20. The identity of "Hunter" is a secret closely guarded by the Drasnian Intelligence. It is said that not even Porenn knows. Who in Garion's party was "Hunter" at Ashaba?

Answer: Liselle

Velvet's task as "Hunter" was to kill Harakan, which she did very well indeed, by throwing Sadi's snake, Zith, into his face. Harakan died in a matter of seconds.

21. Which of the following is NOT one of the mentioned aliases of Prince Kheldar?

Answer: Sadi the Eunuch

For all that Silk whines about being nobility, two of his three favorite aliases are the names of former Kings of Drasnia.

22. In Sendaria, how many silver imperials does it take to equal the value of one gold crown?

Answer: 5

This I got from the Rivan Codex, as well as "Pawn of Prophecy". It seems that Garion and Silk were having a discussion about it while on the road, but heh, that could be any of the books.

23. What is the name of the ship captain that ferried Garion & Co. to Korim/Turim?

Answer: Kresca

Garion noted the similarity between Kresca and a former Cherek captain they had when he was going on about the repetitions.

24. How many candidates were there in the first Sendarian election for King?

Answer: 743

Silk managed to highly irritate Colonel Brendig when he was relating this tale to Garion. He kept exaggerating the number of candidates, and asking Brendig to correct him, and of course, Silk was intentionally trying to irritate him.

25. Alright, a really obscure one for the last one: What color is Mandorallen's helmet plume?

Answer: white

This drove me batty for a while, I swore I read it somewhere, turns out it was in "Queen of Sorcery". My cousin and I argued extensively over this.
