Interesting Questions, Facts, and Information

Kay, Guy Gavriel

What is the name of the city where the Autumn Fair is held?

'A Song For Arbonne' Quiz


Lussan. Apparently not quite as wild as Midsummer- but plenty of killings do happen there.



Who or what does Bertran de Talair still claim to love even after the death of Aelis?

'A Song For Arbonne' Quiz


Arbonne. He says this on page 281 (of my edition) when King Daufridi of Valensa asks him what he still loves.



Where does Gorhaut lie relative to Arbonne?

'A Song For Arbonne' Quiz


North. This is part of the reason the Gorhautians want to invade {Arbonne;} it's so nice and sunny there :).



What is the name of the singer who falls in love with Blaise?

'A Song For Arbonne' Quiz


Lisseut. It's interesting to speculate if perhaps Blaise is the father of Lisseut's child (mentioned in the note at the end).



What does Remy the troubadour duck Lisseut in on Midsummer's Eve, when performing the traditional homage to Rian?

'A Song For Arbonne' Quiz


Cauvas sparkling wine. Remy claims this is the tithe that Marotte the innkeeper has to pay for Midsummer.



What kind of bird does the High Priestess of Rian carry on her shoulder?

'A Song For Arbonne' Quiz


A white owl. This is the owl that flies to Blaise's shoulder in the scene where he agrees to become king.



What is the final name of Rosala's child?

'A Song For Arbonne' Quiz


Cadar Ranald de Garsenc. Rosala originally named him Cadar de Savaric, but changed the name in honor of Ranald.



Who finally kills King Ademar of Gorhaut?

'A Song For Arbonne' Quiz


Luth of Rian's Island. He does this with an arrow that seems to come from {Rian;} you don't find out until the very end of the book.



Where does King Duergar (Ademar's father) tell Blaise is a good place to conceal a knife?

'A Song For Arbonne' Quiz


Behind his shield. Did anyone else think this was highly cool? :).



Why does Quzman di Perano originally seek vengeance on Blaise?

'A Song For Arbonne' Quiz


For killing his twin brother. Blaise does insult him, too- quite a bit- but his twin brother's death was the original reason.



Who still remembers his mother, even though she died when he was very young?

'A Song For Arbonne' Quiz


Ranald de Garsenc. This is mentioned during Ranald's final {battle;} he remembers 'a red-haired woman' singing to him by candlelight.



What kind of animal pines away for Othon the animal trainer after he dies?

'A Song For Arbonne' Quiz


A monkey. I always thought this was a nice little grace note- something to remember Othon's death by.



What color is the jewel that Lucianna Delonghi wears about her neck in the scene where she tortures Blaise?

'A Song For Arbonne' Quiz


Red. It turns out, surprisingly, this this isn't a gift from Blaise :).



What is the name of the world Lisseut sings about to Blaise in her lullaby?

'A Song For Arbonne' Quiz


Fionvarre. One of the prettiest songs in Kay's work, I think.



What is the name of the goddess Rian in Gorhaut, and what relationship does she hold to the god Corannos?

'A Song For Arbonne' Quiz


Corinna; his maiden daughter. Rian is sure a lot more interesting than this in Arbonne!
