7. What were the Vivitar's gods called?

From Quiz "A Matter of Profit's" Alien Rulers and Gods

Answer: Old Gods

There used to be a tall mountain on the Vivitar's planet. They believed the gods lived there. When the Karg came they destroyed the mountain and the Vivitars saw there were no gods. So they renounced all religion and just said "old gods" as a curse.

From Quiz Fall of a Kingdom

The Karg came, obliviated the mountain, and built a space port there.

That makes sense, as Grishiks are the most catlike beings in the universe.

The Suud are very pale-skinned, and must wear special clothing to protect them from the sun's rays. They are, however, excellently suited to nocturnal life. Soraya lives with the Suud for a period and learns sorcery.

14. Who rules the T'Chin Confederation?

From Quiz "A Matter of Profit's" Alien Rulers and Gods

Answer: Nobody

There is no capital, no palace, and no ruler. They don't really need one. Each of the forty plants governs itself. They also don't own an army, because every conqueror that comes gets absorbed into their culture, like the Vivitar will be.

15. How does Merahb die?

From Quiz Fall of a Kingdom

Answer: He is shot full of arrows

When he sees that his army is losing, he challenges the enemy to single combat. The Hrum refuse his request, and riddle him with arrows. Jiann blames Kavi for this, as it was information that the peddler supplied to the Hrum that allowed the Farsalans to be defeated.
