Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What does Arha mean?

Answer: The Eaten One

The Nameless Ones eat away the person to be their priestess so that she is commited to them. That is why she is called The Eaten One.
2. Who is Arha's only friend among the girls?

Answer: Penthe

Kossil is the Overpriestess of the Godking's Temple and Thar is the Overpriestess of the Twin Gods Temple. Manan is Arha's servant.
3. Who is Arha's personal servant?

Answer: Manan

Duby and Uahto are Kossil's servants. Atwah is one of the Twin Gods. The other is Wuluah.
4. What is the name of the large underground cavern?

Answer: The Undertomb

Aptly named, The Undertomb is literally beneath the tombs above. It is forbidden for light to be there, but twice Arha sees the beauty of the caves, once when she first sees Ged and once when she sees Kossil looking in the grave.
5. After Arha told Kossil about the man below, where did she eventually find him?

Answer: by the river

She found the man in a place she remembered where she could hear water. He had broken his knife trying to get to the water. Arha called to him from above through a spyhole.
6. In which room did Arha imprison the man?

Answer: The Painted Room

Manan insisted he be chained and brought a chain and lock from the Room of Chains. Arha chose the Painted Room because it had a door that could lock.
7. What illusion did the man show Arha?

Answer: a beautiful dress

Arha insisted the man show her wizardry. The only thing he had the energy for was an illusion. He showed her herself wearing a dress he had once seen in Havnor. Then Arha heard Kossil above and declared he was a fraud and he would be killed. Luckily, she was just trying to throw off Kossil.
8. What happened to Manan?

Answer: fell into the pit

Manan was compelled by the nameless ones to try and stop Arha and Ged from escaping. He tried to get Ged but was startled by Ged's flash of light and stumbled and fell into the pit.
9. What is Arha's real name?

Answer: Tenar

We know this because her mother calls her that in the beginning. But Ged finds her name and gives it back to her before they leave. He is good at finding out the names of things.
10. What did Arha and Ged bring to the Archipelago?

Answer: the Ring of Erreth-Akbe

The Ring was restored and the lost rune found. The third book in the trilogy, "The Farthest Shore," ends the adventure of Ged and brings a king to the throne.
