Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. When the Great Road forks, Alanna goes left with Coram to Corus.

Answer: False

Alanna and Coram go right to Corus, where she trains to be a knight, while her brother Thom, and Maude go left to the City of the Gods, where he trains to be a sorcerer.

2. How old does George tell Alanna he is?

Answer: 17

He tells her he's 17, although Alanna suspects differently, which isn't surprising since he's the King of Thieves!

3. What fief presides over the Great Southern Desert?

Answer: Meron

Lord Martin of Meron doesn't like the Bazhir, who live in the desert, but he was picked to preside over it because King Roald knew he would be fair.

4. What is the name of the page who tells Ralon to "leave him alone" when Ralon is taunting Alanna?

Answer: Douglass

Douglass tries to help Alanna out, until Raoul, Gary, Alex and Prince Jonathan arrive, who put a stop to the teasing.

5. What kind of a ring does Jon give George in exchange for his horse, and the partial cost of Alanna's?

Answer: Sapphire

George undercharged Alanna for Moonlight; Jon knows and gives George the ring. When George sees this, he provides Jon with a horse as well.

6. What color robes does Thom wear when he enters the Mithran cloisters?

Answer: Brown

According to Thom, "At least I don't have to put up with giggling girls all the time. They made us shave our heads, but I suppose it'll grow back by the time we leave. We wear brown robes. Only the Initiates wear orange..."

7. What color is the magic of the Ysandir?

Answer: Yellow-Green

Jon's magic is blue, and Alannna's is purple, so when they fight the Ysandir together, their magic turns blue-purple.

8. What are the names of Alanna and Jon in the Bazhir prophecy about the Black City?

Answer: Night One and Burning-Brightly One

I, for one, think Alanna is the Burning-Brightly one, but that could be interpreted in both ways.

9. How does the page's uniform (gold tunic and red shirt and hose) make Alanna feel when she first puts it on?

Answer: Confident

"...the royal uniform gave her the courage to unbolt the door and step into the hall. She couldn't have done it in her battered old clothes."

10. There was a person in the book who died of the sweating sickness. Alanna felt guilty because she hadn't tried to heal him. What fief was he from?

Answer: Nond

The character was Alanna's friend, Francis of Nond.
