Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is the name of the mountain that hangs above Meghan's valley? (the name used by Isabeau and Meghan)

Answer: Dragonclaw

Dragonclaw, the title of the first book, is the peak which shadows Meghan's valley. This is where the great sorceress has been hiding ever since the Day of Betrayal. After a few years in this valley, Meghan found Isabeau on her front-treestep, as a little baby with a stone tablet and a dragoneye ring.
2. What instrument of torture was used on Isabeau's hand?

Answer: Pilliwinkles

When the apprentice witch Isabeau was tortured by the repulsive Baron Yutta, he used the rack (owwwww) and the pilliwinkles on Isabeau's hand. The pilliwinkles are like thumbscrews. The pilliwinkles are a sort of vice the hand is put into and is SQUEEZED until the fingers up to the knuckle are crushed (literally). OW!
3. True or False: Meghan of the Beasts killed Ishbel's lover, Khan'gharad.

Answer: False

Meghan was trying to kill Maya the Ensorceller by opening the crevasse at her feet. Somehow Khan'gharad got caught in this and the blaygird Maya turned him into a horse. This was how he was, until Isabeau found him as the Grand-seeker Glyneda's horse. She stole him and unsuspectingly rode her father.
4. What is Finn the Beggar's real name?

Answer: Fionnghal NicRuraich

Fionnghal NicRuraich, more commonly known as Finn the Cat, was stolen away from her parents, Gwyneth NicSian and Anghus MacRuraich, when she was six by the Anti-Witchcraft League to persuade Anghus to do Maya's bidding. Finn somehow lost her memory, and ended up as a beggar on Lucescere's streets.
5. What was Iseult's Khan'cohban name?

Answer: Khan'derin

Khan-derin means "fierce as the sabre-leopard". When Iseult took the naming quest to the Skull of the World, the White Gods told her her real name. Khan'derin is the great-granddaughter of the Firemaker, the most powerful woman of the Khan'cohbans.
6. In "The Forbidden Land", what did Brangaine write for her Samhain fault to throw onto the fire?

Answer: "Muffin-faced prig"

When Finn and Brangaine were at the MacRuraich castle, Brangaine annoyed Finn and Finn called her a "Muffin-faced prig" and punched her jaw. Brangaine and Finn, once listening to the song of love, became friends and Brangaine's Samhain wish was to "be the best ruler I can to my people, and not be called a muffin-faced prig again!" Finn's wish was to "be who I want to be, not what everyone wants be to be".
7. Who is the Cripple, the leader of the Rebellion?

Answer: Enit Silverthroat

Enit Silverthroat is a jongleur, grandmother to Dide and Nina. She is the only Yedda left alive, though she prefers not to be called a Yedda. Enit knows the songs of power. She once used the song of death, and vowed never to use it again.
8. What is the name of the tree-shifter that was in the Tower of Mists and was rescued by Iain?

Answer: Corissa

Corissa is a half-tree-changer, like Lilanthe. She was kidnapped and taken to the Tower of Mists by Margrit of Arran for her Theurgia. Corissa was resued by Iain and the jongleurs, where she met Lilanthe. They both were talking animatedly when they found out that they were both tree-shifters.
9. When Meghan gave the Mesmerdean her life, what was the amount of time she asked to live for?

Answer: Until the time of the Red Wanderer

Meghan gave her life to the bog-faeries to get their support so that the rebels could storm the Tower of Mists. Unfortuantely, Margrit of Arran escaped on her swan-sleigh. Meghan only asked four years grace, until the time of the Red Wanderer, so that she could see Isabeau's power bloom.
10. True or False? In "The Forbidden Land", the name of the huge whirlpool on Tirsoilleir's coast is called Auld Clooties' Vortex.

Answer: False

The actual name for the whirlpool is Devil's Vortex. The naviagator aboard Finn's ship is the only person to ever navigate the Devil's Vortex seven times sucessfully.
11. What is the name of Finn's maid-in-waiting?

Answer: Raina

Raina is Finn's maid-in-waiting. Raina hates Finn (Finn thinks so anyway) and gave her black bread and butter while Finn was imprisoned in her room for "thwacking the muffin-faced prig in the gob", or punching Brangaine in the mouth.
12. What was the name of the laird who betrayed Lachlan?

Answer: Finlay Fear-Naught

Finlay went to a brothel and slept with Maya. He came under her power and betrayed Lachlan to Maya, who relayed it to the Tirsoillierean soldiers.
13. Who told Khan'derin who she was in love with?

Answer: Cloudshadow

Cloudshadow the Celestine told Khan'derin that she did actually love Lachlan MacCuinn and she really didn't hate him. The foolish girl denied it, but on May Day we really found out what they felt about each other ...
14. What type of species is Meghan's familiar, Gita?

Answer: Donbeag

Gita the donbeag is Meghan's familiar. He loves her and she loves him. Gita always offers comfort in the form of a nuzzle. He is a sweet creature.
15. What is the last line in "The Cursed Towers"?

Answer: "Mesmerdean never forget."

"Mesmerdean never forget"... Freaky! Meghan has given her life to the Mesmerdean so they have one following her around. Meghan thought to confound it by going through the maze to the Pool of Two Moons, where she spoke with Isabeau. Well, that's the end of the quiz! Mail me to tell me how you liked it!
