Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What's the name of Corum's most hated enemy?

Answer: Glandyth-a-Krae

Corum's and Gladyth's hatred towards each other makes one of the most important plotlines during all the trilogy. I think's Corum's willingness to kill Glandyth and avenge his families is the main reason for fighting the Chaos - and when Glandyth dies at the end of the third book, it is the logical ending for the strife between the two - for the Good must win and the Bad must be punished, isn't it so?

2. Corum is the last of the race of Vadhagh.

Answer: False

False! In the middle of the second book we learn about the City of the Pyramid, whose citizens are also Vadhagh.

3. What is the name of the great plain where the Vadhagh and the Nhadrah had met for their final battle?

Answer: Broggfythus

The name of the plane is mentioned several times, although the plain doesn't play an important role in the book.

4. What does the name "Denledhyssi" mean?

Answer: Murderers

Denledhyssi are the warriors of Glandyth-a-Krae, Corum's worst enemy.

5. What is Rhalina's castle called?

Answer: Moidel's Castle

Moidel was the name of Rhalina's Husband, the Margrave of Allomglyl. When he died in a shipwreck, his wife continued to rule the castle, but its name hasn't changed.

6. What are the names of the Sword Rulers?

Answer: Arioch, Xiombarg and Mabelrode

Arioch is the Knight of Swords; Xiombarg is the Queen of Swords; Mabelrode is the King of Swords. All of them are Lords of Chaos. All the other characters mentioned side the Law.

7. "A reddish shadow moved in the yellow mist...It flew upon billowing crimson wings and its grinning face was that of a shark." What is the name of this beast that comes from Abyss?

Answer: The Ghanh

To this description I can add that Ghanh's body is in the size of a large bull, its wing span is nearly 30 feet, and its eyes are golden. The Ghanh is one of Queen Xiombarg's favourite creations.

8. Who is Noreg-Dan?

Answer: A King Without a Country

Only when Queen Xiombarg is defeated, Noreg-Dan seizes to be a King without a country - until then, he is an exile, who seeks the City of the Pyramid.

9. What had Corum wanted to finish before he set out for his adventures (at the beginning of the first book)?

Answer: a symphony

Corum experiences so many terrible encouters, that at the end of the third book you don't remember his quiet life at the beginning of the first one...

10. What the name of Corum's mother?

Answer: Colatalarna

Her name is mentioned at the beginning of the first and the third book. Thank you for answering the quiz, I'd be glad to get some feedback!
