Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What was the name of Jinna's cat?

Answer: Fennel

Fennel adds humour to the story, balancing Fitz's sometimes somber view of life.

Answer: Seawatch tower

The tower is really called the Seawatch tower. It is chosen for the Skill lessons as it is an obvious place that Dutiful would pick as a meditation area, and is also accessible by secret passages so Fitz can travel to and from the tower undetected.

Answer: Turnip

Dressed in their stripes of purple and white, Fitz likens himself and the Fool to turnips.

4. Why does the Queen summon Fitz to her chambers at the beginning of the book?

Answer: To share her pain at Nighteye's death

Although Fitz and Kettricken discuss both the prince's rescue and Lady Rosemary's continued presence in the keep, Kettricken summoned Fitz to tell him she felt Nighteyes dying. She wanted to empathise with his pain and tell him how highly regarded Nighteyes was in her heart.

5. On his return to his cottage, initially, who does Fitz think has ransacked his home?

Answer: Forged people

At first the cottage looks like it has been attacked by forged folk. However, on seeing the pig's footprints, he concludes it was his 'friendly' neighbour who was the culprit.

6. What is the name of the tavern that Hap and Svanja frequent?

Answer: The Stuck Pig

The Stuck Pig was a seedy tavern and was said to be visited by witted folk.

7. This book is peppered with fights and misunderstandings. How does Dutiful insult Elliana?

Answer: He implies she is only a girl

During a game of Stones with Civil, Elliana approaches Dutiful and asks to share in the game. He tells her girls can't play the game. However, when Lady Vance asks them, they let her play, and, on her winning, Dutiful tells her a girl can't play the game but a beautiful woman can. Elliana hears the whole thing.

8. A contingent from Bingtown visits Buckeep during this book, including many familiar faces from 'The Liveship Trilogy'. One of the visitors is a friend of Lord Golden. What is her name?

Answer: Jek

Jek is happy to see Fitz opening the door to "Amber's" room - assuming that Amber is finally with "her" love. This leads to a huge arguement between Fitz and the Fool.

9. What was the name of Laudwine's accomplice?

Answer: Padget

Padget is wit bonded to a small terrier dog.

Answer: False

Laudwine's sword penetrates the muscles at the right side of Fitz's back and punctures his intestine.
