Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is the human name of the main character?

Answer: Zane

And a pretty unremarkable human he made too!
2. The story begins in a magical stones shop, but what was the store's name?

Answer: Mess O' Pottage

Here Zane makes a colossal error; he believes the sales pitch of a disreputable salesman.
3. Which of the following stones does the proprietor NOT try to sell to the main character?

Answer: Salestone

The salestone is the shop owner's- it indicates whether he will make a sale with a given customer. The Deathstone indicates that Zane will die soon. The Lovestone indicates that Zane will find love within the hour, but he gives the love up to the proprietor for the Wealthstone, which only finds small change.
4. How exactly does the main character become the Incarnation of Death?

Answer: He kills the previous office holder

Zane was going to shoot himself, but when Death came he shot him instead, and assumed the office.
5. What is the name of Death's pale horse?

Answer: Mortis

Mortis is a truly remarkable steed; he is not only a horse who can fly, but he can also become a car.
6. Does Death collect the souls of all humans when they die?

Answer: No

Death only collects the souls of those whose souls are in balance between good and evil (he then measures them personally). Occasionally he goes to deaths of those who are not in balance, to aid them.
7. What is the name of the Magician's daughter, who Death falls in love with?

Answer: Luna

Luna is a vital person in the fight against evil, as she is destined to thwart one of Satan's major schemes in the future.
8. Death takes Luna on a date to the Carnival of Ghosts. Who is their guide?

Answer: Molly Malone

The Irish ghost was brought to America as a tourist attraction; to see her means death.
9. When Death meets The Green Mother she calls him by the Greek name for Death; what is it?

Answer: Thanatos

The Greek personification of Death, Thanatos was said to be the brother of Hypnos, the personification of sleep.
10. How did Death thwart Satan's scheme against his girlfriend?

Answer: He refused to take her soul

By refusing to take her soul, he had to stop taking all souls and nobody was able to die.
