Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What was the name Garion gave to the old storyteller when he turned up at Faldor's Farm?

Answer: Mister Wolf

Garion had to call him something while travelling to Upper Gralt, and Belgarath's lack of a proper name bothered him - made him feel that the old man was somehow incomplete.

2. Who caught Garion when he ran into the woods on the first night away from Faldor's Farm?

Answer: Silk

Silk introduced himself to Garion as a juggler and an acrobat - Barak added that he was also a thief and a spy!

3. Which country is not part of Aloria?

Answer: Arendia

The sons of Cherek Bear-shoulders, Dras Bull-neck, Algar Fleet-foot, and Riva Iron-grip accompanied Belgarath in the quest to retrieve the Orb from Torak.

4. Who was the Murgo who kept watch over Garion?

Answer: Asharak

Asharak inserted a compulsion into Garion's mind, that Garion would be unable to tell anyone about Asharak's presence.

5. When Garion is in danger, into which animal does Barak turn?

Answer: Bear

The ability to turn into a bear is hereditary... as we will see in later books.

6. Of what geographical entity did Silk say, "I admire it politically, but personally I'd be much happier if I never had to look at it again?"

Answer: the Cherek Bore

The Cherek Bore is "a passage about a league wide between the northern tip of Sendaria and the southern end of the Cherek peninsula - riptides, whirlpools, that sort of thing," according to Barak.

7. Which title did Polgara give when she arrived at Camar?

Answer: Duchess of Erat

When Brendig checked, it turned out she really was the Duchess of Erat - and a very rich woman too, as her money had been gaining compound interest for over two thousand years.

8. What was the prior occupation of the first King of the Sendars?

Answer: rutabaga farmer

After years of voting (from 3827 to 3833) and 743 candidates, a farmer named Fundor, who raised rutabaga (and cabbages, according to Silk), was elected king of Sendaria.

9. Who dabbled in sorcery and called Polgara her "glorious sister"?

Answer: Islena

As a gift to Polgara, Islena produced a green jewel from up her sleeve. Polgara responded by creating a single deep red rose - from thin air.

10. What was Garion's name for Polgara?

Answer: Aunt Pol

His great-great-great-great-etc aunt she was, but Garion was too young to understand immortality.
