Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Who is the first person to speak?

Answer: Ellimere

'"Sameth, what have you done now!" were the first words out of Ellimere's mouth.'
2. Why does Touchstone chose Ranna?

Answer: Ranna is appropriate for him

'"Ranna for me," replied Touchstone."The Sleeper seems very appropriate, given my past."'
3. Who closed the inner diamond?

Answer: Sabriel

Lirael closed the outer diamond and Touchstone closed the middle diamond but Ellimere didn't close any.
4. The Dog originally says he was one of the original Seven.

Answer: False

"'But you said you weren't one of the Seven!' Lirael protested, though she had long suspected the truth about the Dog. She just hadn't wanted to admit it, even to herself, for the Dog was her best and oldest friend, long her only friend. Lirael could not imagine Kibeth as her friend.
'I lied,' said the Dog cheerily. 'That's one of the reasons I'm the Disreputable Dog. Besides, I'm only what's left of Kibeth, in a roundabout, hand-me-down sort of way. Not quite the same. But I'll stand against the Destroyer. Against Orannis, as one of your Seven.'"
5. What is the Destroyer also known as?

Answer: Orannis

"The Destroyer was known by many names, but the most common is one that I will write here. Do not speak it unless you must, for even the name has power, now that the silver hemisperes have been brought out under the sky."

"The letters she wrote spelled out a single word.
ORANNIS.
'Who... or what... is this thing?' asked Lirael when she'd silently read the name. She already had a feeling that it would be worse than she expected. There was a great but subtle tension in the way Mogget was crouched, his green eyes fixed on the letters, and the Dog wouldn't meet her eyes.
The Dog wouldn't answer at first but shuffled her paws and coughed.
'Please,' said Lirael gently. 'We have to know.'
'It is the Ninth Bright Shiner, the most powerful Free Magic being of them all, the one who fought the Seven in the Beginning, when the Charter was made,' said the Dog. 'It is the Destroyer of worlds, whose nature is to oppose creation with annihilation. Long ago, beyond counting in years, It was defeated. Broken in two, each half bound within a silver hemisphere, and those hemisperes secured with seven bonds and buried deep beneath the earth. Never to be released, or so it was thought.'"
6. Who has failed Orannis?

Answer: Hedge

"'So Hedge has failed me, as such servants do,' said Orannis, its voice low like a whisper but harsh and penetrating. 'As all living things must fail, till silence rings me in eternal calm, across a sea of dust.'"
7. How many people and animals does it take to destroy Orannis?

Answer: 9

The Seven that Lirael is in doesn't work, so Yrael decides to do the right thing and joins the Seven to make it the Eight. It's called the Eight but actually nine people and animals are in the group- Sanar and Ryelle act as one person using one bell.
8. Who is Yrael?

Answer: Mogget

"'Be free, Mogget!' shouted Sam, as he held a red collar high. 'Choose well!'
'I am Yrael,' it said, casting a hand out throw a line of silver fire into the breaking spell-ring, its voice crackling with force. 'I also stand against you.'
When it became fully silver, Lirael knew she must strike, in the few moments when Orannis was completely bound. Bound not by the Seven, but by the Eight, she realised, for Mogget- Yrael- could be nothing else but the Eighth Bright Shiner, who was himself bound by the Seven in the long ago."

This quote is from Lirael but is revelent to this previous quote:

"The Eighth did hide, hide all away,
But the Seven caught him and made him pay."
9. What did Lirael lose after defeating Orannis?

Answer: Her hand and the Disreputable Dog

Lirael's hand got engulfed by Orannis but the Dog bit it off before she would be killed by him, unfortunately the Dog dies from her actions.
10. How does Sam find Lirael after defeating Orannis?

Answer: Curled up, holding Astarael and the carving of the Dog

"Sam found Lirael a moment later, curled up in the ash, the carving of the Dog nestled in the crook of her handless arm. She held Astarael- the Weeper- with her remaining hand, her fingers clenched tight around the clapper so it could not sound."
