Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. 'They came over the Dragonwall like a flood, and washed the land with blood. How many died for Laman's sin?... They called them savages. The fools said they could be swept aside like rubbish. How many battles lost, how many cities burned, before they faced the truth? Before the nations stood together against them?'
2. 'Their King was Aemon al Caar al Thorin, Aemon son of Caar son of Thorin, and Eldrene ay Ellan ay Carlan was his Queen. Aemon, a man so fearless that that the greatest compliment for courage any could give, even among his enemies, was to say a man had Aemon's heart. Eldrene, so beautiful that it was said the flowers bloomed to make her smile. Bravery and beauty and wisdom and a love that death could not sunder. Weep, if you have a heart, for the loss of them, for the loss of even their memory. Weep, for the loss of their blood.'
3. 'We've listed Elaida's crimes to countless nobles. We've told them we intend to remove her. But they doubt. They think that maybe -maybe- we are what we say. And maybe there's a trick in our words. Perhaps we are only Elaida's hand, weaving some elaborate scheme. Doubt leaves people floundering. Doubt gave Pelivar and Arathelle the nerve to stand before Aes Sedai and say, 'You cannot go further.' Who else will stand in our way, or interfere, because they aren't certain, and uncertainty leads them to act in a cloud of confusion? There's only one way for us to dispel their confusion. We have already done everything else. Once we declare ourselves at war with Elaida, there can be no doubts. I don't say that Arathelle and Pelivar and Aemlyn will march away as soon as we do, but they and everyone else will know who we are. No one will dare again to show doubt so openly when you say you are the Hall of the Tower. No one will dare stand in our way, meddling in the affairs of the Tower through uncertainty and ignorance. We have walked to the door and put our hands on the latch. If you are afraid to walk through, then you all but ask the world to believe you are nothing but Elaida's puppets.'
4. 'There are no clear paths. Only pitfalls and tripwires and darkness.'
5. 'Strong endures, hard shatters.'
6. 'This little space, at least, will not sink into the Blight. The Blight will not have Treebrother.'
7. 'We hear that you won a great victory at Tarwin's Gap.'
8. 'You've made one real mistake in it all... You should never have touched the girl.'
9. 'So, you are dead.'
10. 'I would not mind you in my head, if you were not so clearly mad.'
