Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who first told the unicorn of King Haggard?

Answer: Mommy Fortuna

The butterfly only told the unicorn about the Red Bull. It was Mommy Fortuna who told her about King Haggard. Later on, Schmendrick and Molly Grue told her of the legends they had heard about King Haggard.

2. Of all the fake creatures Mommy Fortuna created with her magic, only one truly believed the fakery as true. Which creature was it?

Answer: Arachne of Lydia

Other than the unicorn, the Harpy was the only real creature in Mommy Fortuna's carnival. The Midgard Serpant was just a baleful, brooding boa. Elli, who was supposed to be old age, was Mommy Fortuna herself. The spider, who had a spell put on her to make her webs look like Arachne's beautiful tapestries, wept when the spell on her was broken because she had believed in it.

3. What is the name of the town that lies below King Haggard's castle?

Answer: Hagsgate

The town of Hagsgate shares its fate with King Lear. After the Witch cursed King Haggard's castle she turned on the people of Hagsgate. The town would prosper until the fall of King Haggard's castle; when the castle falls the land will become barren.

4. What omen did the townsman see that told him the child he found was going to fulfill the curse on the town?

Answer: Purring cats

Drinn said he found the child in the marketplace (which was a lie, he put him there himself), "Chuckling under a blanket of stray cats. They were all purring together, and the sound was heavy with knowledge." So he shooed the cats away and left the child for dead.

5. Many notice that Schmendrick is older than he looks. Why does he look so young?

Answer: He is immortal

Schmendrick was cursed by his teacher, Nikos. He was to remain the same age until he found his magic.

6. One night Prince Lir finds Lady Amalthea stumbling through the hallways after she has had a nightmare. What does she ask Prince Lir to do to calm her down?

Answer: Sing a song

Lady Amalthea asks Prince Lir to sing her a song. He then goes on to sing a sad tale about habit being stronger than love. The last verse goes: "As I say to myself, when there's time for a word, As I gracefully grow more debauched and depraved, 'Ah, love may be strong, but habit is stronger, And I knew that I loved by the way I behaved.'"

7. What did Shmendrick use to light their way to the great hall?

Answer: Vermin

"The little night beasts of the castle were glowing like fireflies. They darted here and there in the hall, raising swift shadows with their sickly light and making the darkness even colder than before."
After begging him to light a light, Molly was disgusted with what Schmendrick had done and asked him to undo it.

8. What happened to the King's four men at arms when the castle fell?

Answer: The became young again

"It is the miracle of meaning what we said. Once we told Lady Amalthea that we would grow young again if she wished it so, and we must have been telling the truth."

9. What did the villagers think spring was when they saw it for the first time?

Answer: A plague

It had been fifty years since spring had come to Haggard's domain.
"Only the oldest among them had ever seen Spring before, and many suspected the rampaging greenness of being a plague or an invasion."

10. Who traveled along with Schmendrick and Molly on their journeys after the castle had fallen?

Answer: The cat

After the castle had fallen the cat found Molly. Molly decided to take the cat with her, and all three of them rode off into further adventure.
