Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. When Joram and Evaine visit the crypt they notice that Camber's body shows no sign of decomposing. What does Joram speculate is the cause of this?

Answer: that his father may indeed be a saint

Joram and Evaine discuss many possibilities while visiting their father's body. They are confused because unlike with Jeb and Alister's body (which while preserved do show some signs of decomposing) they cannot "read" the death "memories". Evaine thinks Camber did indeed perform a spell which put his soul and body into limbo, while Joram is worried that Camber may indeed be a saint.
2. Evaine looked in several manuscripts for answers to Camber's condition and a possible way to revive him. Which of these did she not read?

Answer: Codex Derynianus

"The Codex Derynianus" was discovered in the R'Kassi dessert and translated in the fifth year of Kelson's reign, quite a few years in the future from where we are. Evaine actually researched the other manuscripts extensively in hopes of finding a way to revive her father.
3. When any high power Deryni performed magic which was deemed dangerous they would "ward" the area they were working in. To do this they called on four archangels to protect them. Which four angels were typically called upon?

Answer: Raphael, Micahel, Gabriel, and Uriel

In order typically called upon: Raphael represents the Healer, guardian of air and wind; Michael represents the Defender, fire and Prince of Heaven; Gabriel represents water and is the Heavenly Herald; and Uriel is The Dark Lord of Earth, who escorts all into death. Selaphiel, Jegudiel, and Barachiel are also considered archangels but are not typically a part of Deryni warding.
4. The regents used captive Deryni (they called them pets) to help them not only capture other Deryni but to help them in healing and truth reading. Manfred MacInnis used a failed Deryni healer as his personal pet Deryni. What was his name?

Answer: Ursin O'Carroll

Tavis was Javan's personal healer, and the regents, for the most part, left him alone. Oriel was a pet Deryni who served Hubert and Tammaron mainly, while Carmody was controlled by Rhun. Both Oriel and Dermot were controlled by the fact that the regents held their wives and children hostage and let it be known that they would be killed immediately for any disobedience whatsoever by the Deryni. Ursin and Tavis actually attended the same school when younger.
5. The Custodes Fidei were founded with three principles; which of these was not one of the Custodes' purposes?

Answer: personal bodyguards of the regents

Basically the Custodes were created for very simple reasons, these being to prevent any Deryni from entering the priesthood and to insure no Deryni remained in any position of power; by also making them a military group the regents insured that they had a easy and quick way of dealing with any insurrections, although they were not founded to be personal guards.
6. Javan found a very simple way to convince the regents he was no threat; how did he accomplish this?

Answer: convinced Hubert he was leaning towards the priesthood

Hubert was very pleased to help Javan on his way towards priesthood, after all, with him out of the way and Alroy being so sickly the regents could remain in power for many more years through Rhys Michael's regency.
7. The Camberian Council came up with the idea that "blocking" Deryni powers could save the race. What charismatic person did they pick to be the messiah figure and lead this crusade?

Answer: Revan

In an earlier quiz I mentioned that Revan and the "blocking" ability would have a huge impact on the Deryni people. When it was discovered that Sylvan also could block it gave the Camberian Council a way to attempt to hide the Deryni by making Revan a Christlike figure who was leading a religious movement which cleansed the Deryni by removing their powers. Patrick, Joachim and Gillebert were all reformed Willimite followers who became Revan's disciples.
8. Evaine did research looking for a way to revive Camber using the Protocols of Orin. There were five known protocols; which of these represents the five?

Answer: Black, Vermillion, Green, Gold and Blue

Evaine actually had access to all but the Blue One when Camber "died" This legendary scroll was called The Scroll of Daring and Evaine thought that it might hold the answers she needed if she could only find it.
9. When "Brother John" contacted Javan at Saint Hilary's he was told to go to the priest's study and wait; what was the name of the priest who was rector there?

Answer: Father Boniface

This was the second time Evaine had assumed the "Brother John" persona; the first was when Camber was assimilating Alister's memories. Father Burton and Father Secorim were both priests in the Custodes Fidei while Father Aloysius was a priest at Valoret Cathedral.
10. Jodotha was one of the legends of the Deryni people. Evaine, Joram and Queron found her body under the ruins of the altar at Grecotha. They also found a few other useful things; what was not found in the burial chamber?

Answer: The Airsid Legacies

The Fifth Protocol was the Blue one and dealt with healing among other things. The wands became symbolic of the Camberian Council, and the Codex Orini was to contain many clues which would help Evaine later. Although Orin and possibly Jodotha were mebers of the Airsid, basically nothing has ever been found concerning this mysterious order.
11. Evaine eventually unlocked the secrets of Orin's writings. How did she finally find the answer?

Answer: All of these choices

Evaine was praying by Camber's body when she had a dream in which a being showed her flowing rings; she deduced that the rings of Orin and Jodotha somehow held the key so she experimented by putting them together. Jodotha's fit inside Orin's and provided a lens which showed Orin's secret writings concerning very powerful spells.
12. When the Custodes Fidei were consecrated, who was their first Vicar General?

Answer: Pualin of Ramos

Marcus Concannon was Chancellor General who would be in charge of the seminaries. Peter Sinclair, who took the religious name of Albertus was Grand Master in charge of the knights and Seraphin was named as Inquisitor General.
13. Who was the known and powerful Deryni who was cleansed by Revan and tested by Hubert when he and Javan visited Revan's camp?

Answer: Baron Torcuill

Torcuill was actually originally a member of the royal council and a known Deryni. When he was tested and showed no signs of power Hubert became very upset and became even more vexed when Javan went down to the water to see Revan. The other three were powerful Deryni, but Geoffrey and Iain were dead and Jesse for the most part in hiding.
14. Tieg, already showing signs at age four that when he grew up would have remarkable healing powers also had the ability to block Deryni powers. Who was the first person he did this to?

Answer: Evaine

He saw how Ansel was blocked and was delighted that it was something "simple" he could do as well, so he showed his mother, Evaine, how easy it was to make her "clear"; he defined clear as having no Deryni powers, hence he could see clearly into the blocked person's mind.
15. When Evaine freed Camber's soul and died due to her sacrifice and the awesome amount of power it took, she was seen by Queron to join Rhys and Aidan's spirits. What effect did this have on him?

Answer: he was blind for three days

Evaine had no real choice, she could either leave Camber in limbo or free him and die, but the power needed was enormous. It was, however, a choice she was willing to make. Queron saw her pass between the pillars and join her beloved Rhys and their son; it was the last thing he saw for three days.
