Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. F'lar, the powerful dragonrider, owns a massive bronze dragon. What is this dragon's name?

Answer: Mnementh

F'lar becomes the Benden weyrleader in "Dragonflight" and becomes the most loved and powerful man on Pern. Benden is famous for its beautiful wine which is regarded with the utmost respect by Master Harper Robinton.

2. Lessa, the main character in the first book and a prominent character in the other books, rides a golden queen dragon. What is Lessa's magnificent dragon called?

Answer: Ramoth

Lessa is the only full-blooded Ruathan left on the entire planet of Pern. She is married to F'lar. Ruatha was almost destroyed when the cruel Lord Holder Fax seized control of the Hold and left it in disrepair.

3. Who is F'lessen's dragon?

Answer: Golanth

F'lessen is F'lar and Lessa's only son and the only contender for Jaxom's title as Lord of Ruatha, but Lessa brought him up at the Weyr so that Jaxom could become Lord unopposed. Before F'lessen became a dragonrider he and Jaxom discovered a secret room in Benden Weyr.

4. F'nor, another prominent character in the books, rides a brown dragon. What name does this dragon go by?

Answer: Canth

F'nor is F'lars brother and is his second in command at Benden Weyr. F'nor travels with Lessa at the end of the book to the southern continent of Pern and once there they found a new Weyr.

5. In my opinion "Moreta, Dragonlady of Pern" isn't one of McCaffrey's best books, but I'm still going to ask you to name Moreta's dragon, so what was her dragon's name?

Answer: Orlith

Moreta is a character in the book "Moreta, Drangonlady of Pern" set hundreds of years before the events of "Dragonflight", the first book published in the series. Orlith, her dragon, had just laid a clutch of eggs when Moreta died, leaving the dragon tormented and half crazy, but not able to die until her clutch hatched.

6. Jaxom, the young Lord Holder, rides a small white dragon. By what name is his dragon called?

Answer: Ruth

Jaxom is a Lord Holder and therefore the other Lords argue about him being a Lord Holder and a dragonrider. At the end of the book "The White Dragon", Jaxom discovers an old spaceship that was used to transport people from Earth to Pern.

7. Who is Mirrims's dragon?

Answer: Path

Mirrim rides on her green dragon Path. Path waddled into the crowd watching the hatching of the dragon eggs to search for Mirrim.

8. Leri, the old weyrwoman of "Moreta, Dragonlady of Pern", rides an old queen dragon who goes by what name?

Answer: Holth

Saphira is the dragon from the Eragon books. Kadith is Holth's son. Leri lived at the same time as Moreta and her dragon. Holth was the dragon Moreta used when she was going between times to stop the outbreak of plague. Leri died on the same day as Orlith, Moreta's dragon.

9. C'gan, a very old dragonrider, rides upon his blue dragon who goes by what name?

Answer: Tagath

C'gan was the first rider to die in the ninth pass from threadscore. Lessa told the old rider to go to the threadfall to deliver extra Firestone to the dragonriders that were fighting Thread, but he was badly injured during the process of delivering it.

10. The former leader of Benden Weyr rode a bronze dragon. What was the dragon's name?

Answer: Hath

R'gul was the Weyrleader at Benden before F'lar took over. Nobody really liked R'gul and he was only Weyrleader because the Queen dragon couldn't mate with anything but his dragon. Finally the old Queen dragon, Nemorth died and F'lar and his dragon took over care of Benden Weyr.
