Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Where did Arren and Ged first meet?

Answer: the Court of the Fountain

This is the same place Ged first met Archmage Nemmerle and was hailed as "Archmage" by the crow. There is a rowan tree next to it.

2. Where is Arren from?

Answer: Enlad

Arren is, of course, the Prince of Enlad. Iffish is the home of Vetch (Ged's friend), Havnor is the capital island and Roke is the isle of the wizards.

3. From what kind of ship did Ged rescue Arren?

Answer: slave ship

Arren was taken by slavers when they were in Hort Town. He had run to try to lead the thieves away from Ged and was captured by the slavers.

4. What did Ged tell the people of Lorbanery he was looking for?

Answer: emmelstone

We know Ged was really trying to find out why the spells were not working. He posed as an emmelstone merchant so he could work undercover.

5. What was the final fate of the Dyer of Lorbanery?

Answer: jumped into the water

Sopli (that's the dyer's name) was afraid and jumped into the water, even though he could not swim. He really wanted to get to land. It is assumed he drowned. Ged was hit by a spear.

6. The Children of the Open Sea never walk on land.

Answer: False

Once each year they go to Long Dune to cut wood and fix their rafts.

7. What is Arren's truename?

Answer: Lebannen

Ged, of course, knew Arren's truename without having to ask. Arren is also one of only eight people who know Ged's truename.

8. By crossing "the dark land living" and coming to "the far shores of the day," Arren fulfilled the prophecy of Maharion to become what?

Answer: the king

Arren is, of course, the long awaited heir of Morred who becomes King of all the Archipelago.

9. Which dragon returns Arren and Ged to the Isle of Roke?

Answer: Kalessin

Selidor is where the quest came to an end. Orm Embar died there after helping Ged and Arren. Yevaud is the dragon from "A Wizard of Earthsea."

10. Which is NOT given as a possible ending of Ged?

Answer: Ged lived out his ife as the Archmage on Roke

Ged spoke to himself of his thought to return again to live on Gont. "The Deed of Ged" tells that he had been at the crowning, then sailed off in Lookfar. On the Isle of Gont, the story is told that the King came to Gont to find him, but all anyone knew was that he had gone up into the mountains. A definite answer is not given, but we know he did not remain on Roke.
