Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What do ALL dragons have in common?

Answer: Their names end the same way

You know they're not the same color. They're not all big (Ruth is a runt). There have been references to 'feral' dragons before, so they don't all have riders. And if you've ever noticed, all dragon's names end in 'th' (ex: Ramoth, Mnementh, Ruth, Canth).

2. What happened to the unfortunate rider mentioned in 'Dragonflight' that tried to go Between?

Answer: They were trapped in solid rock

F'lar mentions this as a warning to Lessa.

3. What do the female dragonriders use to fight Thread?

Answer: Flamethrowers

I believe it was the Oldtimers Lessa brought forward in time who first introduced the method of using flamethrowers for the female dragons to fight Thread.

4. Aside from Gold (Queen) dragons, what color dragons are female?

Answer: Green

Green dragons are unable to reproduce due to the use of firestone.

5. Who Impresses Green Path?

Answer: Mirrim

Sella is Menolly's next-oldest sister. Kylara has Queen Prideth (who dies). Lessa has Queen Ramoth. Mirrim Impresses Green Path.

6. What is the name of K'der's dragon?

Answer: Warth

If you have the big book entitled 'The Dragonriders of Pern' (includes 'Dragonflight', 'Dragonquest', and 'The White Dragon'), look in the Dragondex to find K'der and his Blue Warth.

7. Margatta is the senior Weyrwoman of what Weyr?

Answer: Fort

She has a queen named Ludeth.

8. What is the collective name for old Weyrleaders that were banished to Southern Weyr?

Answer: Oldtimers

Not really elderly people, the Oldtimers are Weyrleaders that were brought forward in time by Lessa. Their outdated ideology and stubborn personalities led them to be banished to a place where they couldn't do any harm.

9. Who was the youngest child of Seaholder Yanus?

Answer: Menolly

Menoly has ten fire-lizards, more than anyone else! She Impressed nine during Hatching. Poll, a bronze, was meant to be a lord's fire lizard, but Impressed on Menolly instead, a bit later in the series.

10. Who is listed in the Dragondex as 'Journeyman tanner, at Fort Hold'?

Answer: Ligand

The Dragondex is a compiled list of all characters, their dragons, fire-lizards, craft, and place of residence. Usually, the Dragondex is found at the back of the book.
