Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who was the first Companion to repudiate her Chosen?

Answer: Gala

Gala repudiated her Chosen, Tylendel, after he went mad and tried to kill the family who had ordered his twin's assassination. Gala was killed by the wrysa (dog-like demons) Tylendel had conjured, and afterward, a grief-striken Tylendel committed suicide.

2. Who was the only Companion to become lifebonded to her Chosen?

Answer: Kalira

Kalira's Chosen was Lavan Firestorm, who was so strongly gifted with Firestarting that he couldn't control it, and the only way Kalira could help was to lifebond to him.

3. Which Companion Chose Last Herald-Mage Vanyel?

Answer: Yfandes

Yfandes Chose Vanyel the night Tylendel, his lifebonded, committed suicide, and she was always there for him, no matter what.

4. Which Companion covered up his eye colour and allowed himself to be caught as war booty in order to get at his Karsite Chosen?

Answer: Kantor

Kantor also had to rescue Alberich from being burned alive and then had to get him safely across the Border, all the while with an angry Karsite priest or two on his tail.

5. Which Grove-Born Companion was the only one who didn't Choose a Monarch's Own Herald?

Answer: Gwena

Gwena was Grove-Born because her Chosen, Herald-Princess Elsbeth, was to be the first Herald-Mage since Vanyel and it was felt she needed the help.

6. Which Companion was accused of both kidnapping and being crazy by her Chosen just after she Chose him?

Answer: Cymry

Cymry correctly assumed that Skif would not have come with her if she had just walked up and Chosen him. Skif thought she was crazy to Choose a thief.

7. What Companion couldn't care less about the fact that she's not supposed to Mindspeak to anyone but her Chosen, saving special circumstances?

Answer: Sayvil

Sayvil is described by her Chosen, Herald-Captain Kerowyn, as being able to "Mindspeak with anyone she pleases, and she won't pretend otherwise like the rest of 'em."

8. Who was the Companion of Herald Dirk?

Answer: Ahrodie

Ahrodie and Rolan had a fling while their Heralds, Dirk and Talia, tried to figure out their own relationship.

9. Which Companion was not one of the original three who Chose King Valdemar, his son Restil and his chief Herald Beltran?

Answer: Taver

Taver was Grove-Born, but he was not one of the three who answered King Valdemar's prayer.

10. Who was the first Companion to speak to Kerowyn?

Answer: Ratha

Ratha, Herald Eldan's Companion, asked Kerowyn why she was leaving without telling Eldan after their love affair. It was ten years after that when she was Chosen by Sayvil.
