Cecilia Dart-Thornton Trivia Questions

1. What name is the main character known as at the beginning of the novel?

From Quiz
The Battle of Evernight

Answer: Rohain

The main character's true name is Ashalind. She changes her name numerous time during the trilogy in order to escape and confuse her pursuers.

2. What is the name of the Arysk Lightkeeper of Tamhania - The Royal Isle?

From Quiz Bitterbynde 2: "The Lady of the Sorrows"

Answer: Master Grullsbodnr

This particular Iceman was completely against kindling the light which offers safe passage onto the Royal Isle. As it happens he was right to be worried about lighting it, as the three hoodie crows gained entry into the safe isle and caused the volcano island to erupt.

3. What is the full scientific name for the ivy which scars Ashalind's face?

From Quiz The Bitterbynde

Answer: hedera paradoxis

It is also called paradox ivy, but hedera paradoxis is the scientific name. I made the other two up

4. Ashalind's (the main characters) hair is naturally blonde yet she dyes it as often as she changes her name. What colour is her hair at the beginning of the story?

From Quiz The Battle of Evernight

Answer: Black

She dyes her hair black at the end of the second novel and it remains black during this novel until she meets the Faeren prince in the castle Annath Gothallamor, who restores her hair to its natural blonde colour.

5. Which gallant Dainnan Captain did Rohain ask for directions to the King-Emperor's quarters after the attack on the Isse Tower?

From Quiz Bitterbynde 2: "The Lady of the Sorrows"

Answer: Sir Flint

Rohain asked Sir Flint for directions to the King-Emperor's quarters, to which he commented politely that he would conduct her to dining hall for a refreshment while King James was in a conference.

6. In Isse Tower, the servants tell many stories about eldritch wights. What is the first wight Brand Brinkworth tells a story about?

From Quiz The Bitterbynde

Answer: Each Uisge

Each Uisge is a terrifying water horse, that was once part of the Unseelie Attriod.

7. After regaining her memories, Ashalind journeys with her two lady's maids to find a gate which only she can open. What is the full name of the gate?

From Quiz The Battle of Evernight

Answer: the gate of oblivion's kiss

The gate is an entrance to the fair realm where the Faeren reside; all the gates are thought to be shut. Not long ago, Ashalind slipped through the gate at the time of the closing and propped it open with three of her hairs. This made her the only person who can open the gate and also the only person that knows of its whereabouts.

8. What are the names of the two mortal men which the Each Uisge made his slaves, and where were they captured?

From Quiz Bitterbynde 2: "The Lady of the Sorrows"

Answer: Iainh and Caelinh Maghrain; The waters of Corrievreckan.

The twin brothers Iainh and Caelinh Maghrain were believed drowned in the waters of Corrievreckan, in fact they were captured by the dreaded Prince of Waterhorses - The Each Uisge. Now they can only say "Yea" or "Nay" and one can only speak the truth while the other can only speak lies. Ashalind Na Pendran met these two bespelled brothers when bringing the children of Hythe Mellyn back from the Faeran realm.

9. Who is Thorn really?

They journey through the tree tops in the ancient forest by a system of landings, ropes, flying-foxes, ladders and bridges. Up high in the trees they are safe from harm and wights on the forest floor.

11. What name does Sianadh call Ashalind by when they first meet

From Quiz The Bitterbynde

Answer: Mo reigh

Mo reigh means my pretty, which was, of course, a joke. He does also call her chehrna (dear damsel), and later gives her the name Imrhien

12. During their journey, one of Ashalind's lady's maids falls prey to a powerful unseelie (evil) creature called a ganconer. What is the name of the lady's maid that the ganconer ensnares?

From Quiz The Battle of Evernight

Answer: Viviana

The Ganconer is also known as a "love talker" who preys upon ladies. Viviana is not the same after meeting with him and begins to weave a shroud of nettles for she knows she will die yearning for the ganconer.

13. What is the name of the household bruney at Arcune?

From Quiz Bitterbynde 2: "The Lady of the Sorrows"

15. When she enters the castle and rescues Viviana, Ashlind is soon caught by some of its inhabitants. She is taken to a room where she sees her betrothed sitting on a chair, although it is not truly him; who is it really?

From Quiz The Battle of Evernight

Answer: Prince Morragan

It is not Thorn, her betrothed, on the chair but in fact the Faeren prince Morragan who is also known as "the raven". He believes he is Ashalind's first and only love and although she did consider his offer of staying with him when he asked her, in the fair realm, she never loved him and she loves Thorn.

16. Which character's brothers were turned into ravens?

From Quiz The Bitterbynde

Answer: Janet

Trenowyn is Janet's last name, and Roland is her father.

17. From her meeting with Morragan Ashalind finds out the horrible truth about Thorn. What is it?

From Quiz The Battle of Evernight

Answer: That Thorn is Faeren and is in fact Morragan's brother, Angarvar, the high king of the Faeren.

She once guessed that Thorn was one of the Faeren but dismissed this thought when she saw he wielded iron. The Faeren were thought to be repelled by iron but this is proven wrong when Morragan corrodes an iron buckle in his hand. Upon seeing Morragan's face she realises that thorn is not only Faeren, which she had suspected, but also, they are so similar they could only be brothers, meaning that her love is also her hate as she loathes all of the Faeren race.

18. What are the names of Tavron and Madelinn Caiden's children?

From Quiz Bitterbynde 2: "The Lady of the Sorrows"

Answer: Davron and Tansy

It is in the Caiden's long abandoned house that Rohain, Caitri and Viviana spend the night after the destruction of Tamhania. Ashalind stays with the Caidens for a time before journeying to the Huntingtowers and discovering the password to open the Faeran Doors.

19. What is the password that will open the casket with the key in it?

From Quiz The Bitterbynde

Answer: elindor

I got the other three from the word list at the back of The Ill Made Mute. Obban Tesh is an expletive, and the other two words are insults.

20. When Ashalind is allowed to leave the castle Annath Gothallamor, it is to witness an epic battle between the Faeren king Angarvar and Prince Morragan. The victor of this battle is the king Angarvar, but what happens to the loser, Morragan?

From Quiz The Battle of Evernight

Answer: He turns into a raven after being mortally wounded.

Morragan is wounded by Angarvar during the fight but as Ashalind runs to Angarvar, a wight jumps on her and attacks her. Morragan then saves her by smiting the wight and cutting it in two. To his surprise, this action causes his wound to open and it becomes life threatening. Being an immortal, Morragan cannot die so he transforms into a raven and flies off towards the horizon. A sword marks his final resting place as a human and a field of wildflowers later grows where the battle was fought.

21. Who eats the goblin fruit?

From Quiz The Bitterbynde

Answer: Viviana

For much of the third book, Viviana is longing for the goblin fruit, and Ashalind is suffering from the Langothe, leaving Caitri the only member of their party not longing for something.

22. On New Years Eve - the night of Misrule - (a courtly game that saw Lords turn into footmen and Ladies into chambermaids and vice versa) about which two people did Rohain make this comment "Love knows no boundaries of rank"?

From Quiz Bitterbynde 2: "The Lady of the Sorrows"

Answer: A footman and the sixth granddaughter of the Marquess of Early

Rohain made this particular comment about a footman who was wearing a gorgeous jacket of sapphire velvet lined with Rimanian bear fur and the Sixth granddaughter of the Marquess of Early who was dressed as a chambermaid. The two ran away and were married we hear later in the story.

23. What happens to Ashalind at the very end of the trilogy?

From Quiz The Bitterbynde

Answer: She flies away with Thorn and is never seen again in Erith.

In an interview, Cecilia Dart Thornton said that the second (and in my mind better) ending was the real one. Hope you liked my quiz!
