Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. When Laz Moj lands in the lake of Haen Marn, after he touched the crystals together, which is/are left in his hands as he is rescued?

Answer: Just the black

The explosive reaction between the crystals left Laz temporarily blinded, and with severely burned hands, when the boatmen fished him out of the lake.
Marnmara does her best to heal him, but he loses several fingers and his hands are practically crippled for life.

2. What object is buried between the two apple trees in the Breich family farmyard?

Answer: A white bound book

The book, bound in white leather with a black dragon motif, is the twin to the black book left behind in Sidro's keeping by Laz Moj.
Dallandra thinks that if she had both books, she might be able to reverse Evandar's working and restore Rhodry to his human form.

3. Who is Berwynna's betrothed who is killed protecting her from Horsekin raiders?

Answer: Dougie

Lady Angmar had always refused to allow Wynni and Dougie to marry as she was afraid Haen Marn would return home without Wynni, and Dougie's parents would not allow him to live on the island.
Dougie is the eldest son of Domnall Breich and Lady Jehan, and thanks to Evandar's meddling before his birth, ends up going with Haen Marn anyway.

4. Who is Aethel's grandfather?

Answer: Jahdo

Aethel, the caravan master killed on the road by the same band of Horsekin raiders who kill Dougie, is Jahdo's grandson. He is also the reincarnation of Councilman Verrarc.

5. What does Dallandra use to help Rori soothe the itch of the old wound in his side?

Answer: Willow bark infusion

Dalla boils up willow bark and washes the wound with the resulting infusion.
This helps deaden the dreadful itching so that Rori can leave the wound alone. It is his biting and scratching at it for over 40 years that has been partly to blame for it never healing up properly.

6. Calonderiel and Dallandra name their newborn daughter Calonadario. What do they call her "for short"?

Answer: Dari

Baby Dari is the soul of Loddlaen, reborn to Dallandra.
She vows that this time around she will take much better care of her child, and hopefully heal some of the damage done during the soul's previous incarnation as Loddlaen.

7. What is Calonderiel's title as the elven Warleader? (_______ of the Eastern border)

Answer: Banadar

Cal is the Banadar, and as such, even Prince Daralanteriel defers to him in times of war.

8. Oth has been a thief or somehow dishonest in each incarnation we have "met." What was Lady Solla's inheritance that we find out he stole from her in this book?

Answer: 100 silver pieces

We first met him as Ogwern the "fat thief" when the Great Stone of the West was stolen, then again as "slimy Oggo" when Maddyn's flyting song and the derision of Maryn's court drove him to suicide.
This time around Oth is dissuaded from suicide and we can hope that that particular chain of Wyrd is now broken.
Lady Solla's 100 silver pieces will enable Gerran to build and supply his new Dun much better than would otherwise have been possible.

9. When Nicedd the silver dagger begs hire from Gerran, he notices the outlines where a blazon has been hurriedly removed from his gear. Which clan has Nicedd been exiled from?

Answer: Wolf

Nicedd's saddle bags have the outline of the Wolf Clan's blazon on them, meaning Nicedd is probably distantly related to Tieryn Cadric.
Gerran refrains from asking what got Nicedd exiled to the Long Road.

10. At the end of the story, Rhodry mentions a son we haven't heard about previously. Who is his mother?

Answer: Arzosah

Rhodry shocks Dalla when he mentions he now has a dragon hatchling son with Arzosah.
Rhodry cannot decide whether he wants Dalla to recover both dragon books and try to make him human again or not. He is torn between his two forms, and his dragon son is another obligation to weigh on his conscience.
