"The Northern Lights" Quiz Part Two

Answer: Trollesund

Lyra learns about witches, on the journey to Trollesund; witches are able to separate themselves from their daemons. When a person grows up, their daemon will settle as a fixed shape. Lyra says that will not happen with her and Pantalaimon. Farder Coram saved Serafina Pekkala, one of the heads of the witch clan, about forty years ago.

Answer: Cloud-pine

There are armoured bears in the North. Doctor Lanselius, the head of the witch council, advises Farder Coran to see Iorek Brynison, who has been exiled from the armoured bears. He also tells him, in private, that the witches have talked about Lyra for centuries. Lyra has a great destiny, only to be fulfilled elsewhere. Lyra meets Iorek.

His armour has been taken from him. If Lyra can get his armour back, he will be in her service forever.

Lee Scoresby joins the rescue party.

He is an aeronaut, and has a hot air balloon. He knows Iorek Brynison well. Lyra manages to help the bear get his armour back.

Answer: Fish-house

Lyra says that the alethiometer has told her that the village next to Bolvanger is troubled by a ghost.

His name is Tony Makrios.

Answer: Fire-mine

Lyra takes Tony back to the gyptians. Tony misses his daemon, Ratter, a lot. In the night, Tony dies; he missed his daemon too much. Lyra buries Tony with a gold coin, with his daemon's name engraved on it, like the Jordan scholars. Iorek makes a secure tin box for the spy-fly.
