Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What was the name of Sandry's nurse?

Answer: Pirisi

Liesa fa Nadlen was one of the girls at the table when Daja and Sandry met. Polyam was the Trader who had lost her leg and Inoulia fa Juzon was Sandry's cousin, both of whom are characters from the third story, "Daja's Book". Pirisi hid Sandry with magic but was killed before she could free Sandry.
2. What does the word uvumi mean?

Answer: Patience

This is a Trader word. Pirisi, a Trader, was always telling Sandry to have patience.
3. Not long after Sandry and Tris arrived at Discipline, Lark sent Briar into the garden to fetch Rosethorn. However, he got distracted. How did Rosethorn find Briar?

Answer: Tangled in her plants

Though this is another clue to the reader that Briar had magic with plants, this wasn't when Rosethorn realized Briar had green magic. That occurred the minute Briar entered Discipline and Rosethorn's bean plants wanted to throw their seeds early.
4. Who came to Discipline first?

Answer: Briar and Daja

Briar came due to being accused of stealing and carrying knives. Daja got jumped by a number of fellow youths. Tris and Sandry came the day after.
5. What did Sandry give Tris their first night at Discipline?

Answer: A wall hanging

When Sandry said she made it, Tris didn't believe her. Because nobility aren't supposed to do actual work, Tris thought that Sandry might have gotten someone else to do the hanging and then took the credit for it. Tris believed nobility did funny things like that.
6. What did Frostpine ask Daja to get when they first met?

Answer: A hammer

A fuller top, a hammer with a rounded head, to be exact.
7. What was Frostpine making when Daja first met him?

Answer: A strap for a door

It was for a large door that was for the Duke's vault.
8. What did Rosethorn give Crane so that Briar could keep the shakkan tree he stole?

Answer: Tomato plants

Briar stole the shakkan tree from Crane's greenhouse because it was sick. Crane, of course, wanted it back but Rosethorn convinced him to take one of her tomato plants in its place.
9. According to Crane, how old is the shakkan tree?

Answer: 130

Shakkan trees are miniature trees that can live a very long time, with the proper pruning techniques. They are very rare and very expensive.
10. How old does Rosethorn say the shakkan tree is?

Answer: 146

When she suggests Briar ask the shakkan tree about its age, Rosethorn implies the shakkan tree can talk to her.
11. After starting to work for Frostpine, how does Daja show she is mourning?

Answer: Red head and arm band

Lark, who once lived with Trader's, understands how important it is for Daja to continue to show she is in mourning, even though she doesn't want to ruin her red clothes in the forge. Lark made red head and arm bands for Daja to wear. On the other side of the coin, Tris is amazemed and disgusted that Traders mourn in red.

She thinks it is barbaric, not realizing that different cultures have different traditions, and one culture's tradition is no more right or wrong than another's.
12. What was Briar afraid of?

Answer: Rats under the bed

Briar refuses to sleep in bed because his bed is "too high up. What if there are rats under it? They'll chew through the leather straps holding it up and they'll get me when I fall." Briar doesn't like bathing but he's not afraid of drowning. He doesn't appear to have any fear of getting lost and, if anything, he's afraid of eating too little.
13. Besides teaching Briar to read, what else does Tris teach him?

Answer: House cleaning

She also teaches Sandry at the same time.
14. According to Briar, what did Slug teach his rat to do?

Answer: Bite the toes of merchants

Slug was another boy in Briar's gang. Brair tells Tris this to scare her.
15. What does 'lugsha' mean?

Answer: People who make things

This is the Trader word for a craftsman, someone who makes something to sell.
16. What was one of the boys who tortured the pup is referred to as?

Answer: Green Tunic

Green Tunic, the leader of this little group, and five of his friends were being mean to the puppy that would eventually be adopted and called Little Bear by the young mages.
17. Who could not speak Trader?

Answer: Tris

Sandry learned from her nurse Pirisi and Briar learned from his life in Sotat. Tris never had a need nor desire to learn.
18. Discipline was a place of punishment.

Answer: False

Though it may be taken that way by some, Discipline, the cottage, is meant to be a place of self discipline and learning.
19. Frostpine's first exercise for Daja is to cover various metals and have her identify them without looking. Which was NOT a metal he used?

Answer: Silver

The four metals that were part of Frostpine's exercise were copper, gold, tin and bronze (a mixture of tin and copper).
20. At the end of this book, Tris and Briar make a bargain. What was it?

Answer: Tris will teach Briar to read, if he teaches her to fight

Yes, that was the bargain that made at the end of the book. As it turned out, he taught her a lot more than how to fight, including how to pick locks.
