Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. A nice, easy one to start with: what was Flick and Shea's father's name?

Answer: Curzad Ohmsford

Curzad isn't really mentioned all that often in the book. He seemed like a nice guy so I thought I'd give him a little bit of fame.

2. In the Hall of Kings, where did Valg reside?

Answer: The Assembly

Valg was the enormous dragon who guarded the bodies of the four original kings of the Four Lands. He supposedly comes from Hell and is impossible to kill. His name is the ancient Gnome word for "death".

3. What was the name of the mountain path where Shea fell into the river and was seperated from the company?

Answer: Dragon's Crease

The Dragon's Crease was this very twisty, convoluted path down from the Hall of Kings. Shea had the unfortunate luck to be on it as part of it crumbled and plunged into the river.

4. Where did the defenders of Tyrsis make their last stand against the Warlock Lord's army?

Answer: The Bridge of Sendic

In the book it mentioned how all the people who could still fight lined up across the bridge and held off the Trolls until Shea destroyed the Warlock Lord.

5. What were the names of the King of Tyrsis and his two sons?

Answer: Ruhl, Balinor and Palance Buckhannah

Obviously, the rulers of Tyrsis were the Buckhannahs. The Elessedils were the Elven royalty. Raybur, Risca, and Browork were Dwarves from three different Shannara books and the last choice I just made up.

6. What was the award that Keltset showed to the Rock Trolls to prove his loyalty?

Answer: the Black Irix

The Black Irix was the equivalent of the Congressional Medal of Honor. It was the highest award that could be given to a Troll. It showed that the individual would never betray his own kind. After he presented it to the other Trolls, they became very cooperative.

7. A very easy question because I feel like being nice: What town was destroyed during the War of the Warlock Lord?

Answer: Kern

Kern was burned down and obviously destroyed :( Tyrsis was damaged but it was still standing. Varfleet and Arborlon weren't involved at all.

8. What was the name of the maddened Gnome deserter who stole the Sword of Shannara and fled North with it?

Answer: Orl Fane

Shea and Panamon first encountered him raiding a battlefield. They tied him up but he escaped and took the Sword with him, right into the Warlock Lord's domain!

9. Who was Shirl "supposed to" marry?

Answer: Palance

Palance always tried to receive her hand in marriage. She was less than happy with the whole idea. She marries Menion but she's supposed to marry Palance.

10. Finally, for a nice ending question: Did Shea destroy the Warlock Lord?

Answer: Yes

This annoying warlock guy finally bit the dust. He escaped Jerle but he couldn't slip away from Shea.
