"Mistborn" Series Trivia Quiz

The "Mistborn" series of books by Brandon Sanderson is one of my favorites and I see that there is only one quiz about it so far. Such a shame. WARNING: The questions cover the first trilogy.

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Where does the first scene of the first book take place?

Answer: Lord Tresting's plantation.

The book starts with Lord Tresting talking to an obligator overseeing his skaa slaves.

2. What is the name of the ability to burn metals in your stomach to gain special powers?

Answer: Allomancy

Feruchemy is the ability to store attributes (speed, eyesight, etc.) in metals and use them later. Hemalurgy is the art of using metal spikes to steal Allomantic or Feruchemical powers from other people. BioChroma is a power that is not used in "Mistborn", but in "Warbreaker", another book by Brandon Sanderson.

3. What is the name of Kelsier's Allomancy teacher?

Answer: Gemmel

Sazed is the Terris steward that accompanies Kelsier. Mennis is the old man Kelsier talks to in the beginning of the first book. Marsh is Kelsier's older brother.

4. What is the most powerful out of all of the Allomantic metals?

Answer: Atium

Atium allows you to see what someone will do a few seconds before they do it. Steel lets you push on a metal object, sending it flying away from you (if it is lighter than you), or you away from it (if it heavier than you). Aluminum depletes all of your other metals. Duralumin greatly enhances the effect of other metals burned at the same time while simultaneously depleting them. Aluminum and duralumin are paired opposites.

5. How many Allomantic metals exist?

Answer: 16

The sixteen metals are iron, steel, copper, bronze, tin, pewter, zinc, brass, aluminum, duralumin, atium, malatium, gold, electrum, chromium, and nicrosil. At the end of the first book, ten metals are known: eight base metals and two higher metals. During the second and third books, four more are discovered.

At the end of the series, two more are revealed but not named, bringing the total to sixteen.

6. According to legend, what must Vin do at the Well of Ascension?

Answer: Release the power into the world

According to the Terris legends, the Hero of Ages (Vin) must release the power. Doing so actually releases Ruin (who changed the legend for his own purpose).

7. What is unique about the Steel Inquisitors?

Answer: Their creation is very messy

The koloss and kandra also have metal spikes piercing their bodies. The Lord Ruler can also use Allomancy and Feruchemy. Ruin can control anyone with metal piercing their skin. Near the end of the first book, Marsh states that the creation of Inquisitors is messy when asked about it.

8. Which Allomantic metal enhances the sense of balance?

Answer: Pewter

Brass allows you to Soothe (dampen the emotions of other people). Iron allows you to pull on metal objects. Gold allows you to see the person you could have become if you had made different choices in your life. Pewter enhances your physical attributes (strength, speed, endurance, etc.) as well as balance.

9. What makes Sazed believe that he is the true Hero of Ages?

Answer: The metalminds on his arms

The logbook only reveals the Lord Ruler's name. While his Feruchemy allows Sazed to use his metalminds, seeing the metalminds on his arms makes him realize that "the Hero will bear the future of the world on his arms. Not on his shoulders, not in his hands, but on his arms."

10. How old is the first generation of kandra?

Answer: 1000 years

The kandra were first created at the dawn of the Final Empire, 1000 years before series takes place.
