Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Demandred

Lanfear and Rahvin went to the Shadow out of pure thirst for power (and in Lanfear's case, a chance to win back Lews Therin). Asmodean went for the promise of immortality, an eternity in which to compose. Demandred was born a day after Lews Therin, and spent his life in the Dragon's shadow: almost as powerful, almost as skilled, almost as respected.

2. Men who come to the Black Tower to be tested, but who cannot be taught to channel, are not turned away entirely. Instead, they are offered a place in what organization?

Answer: The Legion of the Dragon

The Legion of the Dragon is commanded by Davram Bashere, and while its members don't get to wield the One Power, they do get to wear snazzier coats than the Asha'man, blue with a red dragon across the chest.

Answer: Dedicated and Accepted

The lowest rank in the White Tower is Novice, while the lowest rank in the Black Tower is Soldier.

4. The Atha'an Miere are ruled by the Mistress of the Ships. From what rank is the Mistress of Ships selected by the First Twelve?

Answer: Wavemistress

The Mistress of the Ships gets an upgrade in her jewelry and her parasol - she gets six piercings in each ear and one in her nose, and a three-tiered blue parasol fringed in gold.

5. Traditionally, Tear is ruled by a council of High Lords. The commands of the High Lords are carried out by a second class of nobility. What is this second class called?

Answer: Lords of the Land

After Rand takes the Stone of Tear, the High Lords are pressed into accepting him as ruler over them, resulting in a planned rebellion. Eventually, Rand crowns Darlin Sisnera, a former High Lord, King of Tear. Nobody mentions what happens to the Lords of the Land after that. Poor Lords of the Land.

Answer: Dyelin Taravin

Dyelin is often seen wearing the Owl and Oak, the symbols of House Taravin. Despite this, she has made no move for the throne, and Elayne is convinced that she won't.

Answer: Merean Redhill

Merean Sedai was the Mistress of Novices to Tamra Ospenya.

Answer: Turak Aladon, High Lord of Seanchan

Toram Riatin was killed by Lan Mandragoran. Hammar was killed by Gawyn Trakand. Turan was killed by Rodel Ituralde.

9. Although no one can channel while in the city of Far Madding, thanks to the ter'angreal called the Guardian, who can come closest to Far Madding before being cut off from the Source?

Answer: Women

Ter'angreal called wells allow both men and women to channel in small measure while in Far Madding, by storing Power before the channeler enters the area of the Guardian's effect.

Answer: Daerid

The infantry offers a rare opportunity for commoners to advance to leadership positions, as the cavalry is considered by most nations in the Westlands to be the province of nobility.
