Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. We first meet Loial in the Queen's Blessing in Caemlyn. Whilst here he makes some requests of Rand. Which of these does Rand agree to?

Answer: Play stones with him

Loial is confined to the inn because his appearance causes such a stir when he ventures into the city.

2. One accepted method for taming a hasty Ogier such as Loial is to marry him off. If Loial's mother has her way, who will be his new grandmother-in-law?

Answer: Alar

Erith, daughter of Iva, daughter of Alar is Loial's mother's choice of wife. Loial isn't too upset by this though, after all, she has very nice ears!

3. As Loial is accompanying Perrin and Moiraine in their pursuit of Rand, he is delighted to find an inn with an Ogier bed made from sung wood. Which town is this inn in?

Answer: Remen

Unfortunately for poor Loial, Perrin's hasty actions with the caged Aielman meant they had to flee that very night, leaving the bed unslept in.

4. When Loial 'sings' himself a quarter staff in the portal stone world, what does he say afterwards to Rand?

Answer: The land was glad for a weapon to be made.

Loial didn't enjoy his time in this world very much. Both Rand and Hurin could also feel the 'wrongness' of the place, but given the heightened sensitivity of Ogier to moods, Loial felt very uncomfortable in this world.

5. What reason did Loial give for leaving his stedding and travelling abroad?

Answer: To see the Ogier groves

At 90 years of age, Loial is far too young to be wandering around on his own.

6. Loial gains acclaim as a hero in the Stone of Tear during the trolloc attack. What does he do to earn this praise?

Answer: Herded all the children into a room and defended it all night

Loial has proven himself to be a formidable warrior when the need arises.

7. There have been various metaphors used by Jordan to paint the picture of Loial, which one of the following is not one of them?

Answer: Eyes like tea pots

Eyes like tea cups, not tea pots.

8. Who was Loial travelling with, at Rand's behest, by the end of "Winter's Heart"?

Answer: Karldrin Manfor

They were on a mission to either lock or guard the remaining waygates.

9. Whose imprisonment caused Loial anger due to her being a "free spirit"?

Answer: Faile

Loial did guard duty for Perrin whilst he tried to free her in the 'wolf dream'.

10. Who accompanied Loial on his all important mission to prevent further numbers of trollocs pouring into the Two Rivers?

Answer: Gaul

Both almost died in the process, but the number of shadowsporn that died as a result of their locking the waygate was very large.
