Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Ebou Dar is located on the coast of Randland on the Sea of Storms and may be considered the seat of power of the highly divided country of Altara. What is the Throne of Ebou Dar called?

Answer: The Throne of Winds

The Throne of Winds is normally occupied by a person who is often little more than the strongest noble in Altara and holds so little power that many nobles often scorn to take it. Altara is a highly divided country where the people do not think of themselves as Altarans, but as a Lord or Lady's people. In this context, the King or Queen holds little real power.

2. Queen Tylin Quintara is the current ruler of Altara. What House does she belong to?

Answer: House Mitsobar

The sigil of House Mitsobar is a crossed green anchor and sword. Queen Tylin's son, Beslan, is the heir of this House.

3. Ebou Dar is bisected into the Eastern Side and Rahad by a river which then empties into the Sea of Storms. What is the name of this river?

Answer: River Eldar

Rahad is the rough district of Ebou Dar where there is no appreciable rule of Law. The only people who can journey freely into the Rahad are Wise Women and those under their protection.

Answer: The Illustrious and Honoured Guild of Bookers

The Illustrious and Honoured Guild of Bookers boasts that it will take any wager in any amount. Members of the Guild wear a red vest embroidered with an open book in memory of a time when wagers were actually written in books instead of being written on slates. Every bookie has a different sigil, a token of which is given to all gamblers to enable them to collect their wagers.

5. One of the peculiarities of the Guild of Innkeepers is that all of them are women.

8. Where do the rich normally celebrate the Festival of Birds?

Answer: Indoors, inside their houses and palaces

The Festival of the Birds sees many important things taking place, including the meeting of the Kin and the Aes Sedai, and Moghedien's attempted assassination of Nynaeve.

Answer: The Knitting Circle

This circle is called the Knitting Circle due to the harmless nature of the name. It has complete control over the Kin, and the head of it is given the title of 'Eldest'.
