Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who administered lethal poison to Anzha lyu Mitethe's parents?

Answer: Zatar

"In Conquest Born". The episode of Anzha'a parents' murder starts the hatred-fascination bond between her and Zatar. Incorrect answers: Darmel is none else than Anzha's father, thus the victim of the murder; Ferian del Kanar is a half-Azean, half-Braxi unwilling spy; Ni'en is Zatar's lover and Mistress of his house.

2. If you ask Daetrin about his nature, what is "the only possible answer"?

Answer: Human

"The Madness Season". Daetrin Ungashak to-Alym Haal is a long-living, blood-drinking, day-fearing creature, more than often afraid that he might be losing his mind. Yet he never calls himself a vampire, he wants to serve the people of the Earth and he always sees himself as human. When Kiri asks about his nature, "human" is the only possible answer.

3. Who was Ian Casca?

Answer: All the answers are incorrect

"The Coldfire Trilogy". Ian Casca was an officer on the first ship, but not its captain (the captain's name was Leonid Case). Much as he was preoccupied with the concept of the sacrifice, he was not the founder of the church, and, quite obviously, he lived well before the Hunter's times!

4. "The Erciyes Fragments" deals with a search for an ancient manuscript. Who was supposed to be its author?

Answer: Cain, the father of vampires

"The Erciyes Fragments". The book is in fact a companion to the "Vampire: The Dark Ages" RPG system and it deals with a mysterious manuscript supposedly written by Cain himself!

5. Who is Riven Forrest?

Answer: All answers are correct

"The Coldfire Trilogy". Riven Forrest was created by the alien Mother of the Iezu to replace Calesta killed by Tarrant on the slopes of Mount Shaitan. He inherited the Hunter's dark instincts - in one of the scenes we see him salute the portrait of Tarrant with a drink of fresh blood...

6. Which of the following is the Head of the Guild that monopolized the trade and space-travel?

Answer: Alya Cairo

"This Alien Shore". All these people are Guildmasters, but it is Alya Cairo who is the Prima, Head of the Guild.

7. Which of the characters does NOT appear in "In Conquest Born"?

Answer: Selise Capra

Torzha er Litz is an Azean StarCommander. Lanst'va is a rebellious Braxin poet, a master manipulatrix and a lover of Zatar. Dyle is a historical character, mother of the Firstborn Hasha. Selise Capra is a mother of Jamisia, the main character of "This Alien Shore".

8. What is the object that the Pri'tiera of the Braxi desires?

Answer: Anzha lyu's DNA specimen

"The Wilding". The Braxana need their genetic pool to be improved, and the royal descendant of Zatar wants his children to be descended from the great enemy of their tribe and the rebellious leader of the telepaths, Anzha lyu Mitethe. She is herself long dead by then, as it is several hundred years after her escape and Zatar's ascention to the throne.

9. In which of the novels by C. S. Friedman does the character of Kamala appear?

Answer: "Feast of Souls"

Kamala, a talented girl sold into prostitution, is one of the characters of C. S. Friedman's 2007 novel, "Feast of Souls".

10. Which of the following is NOT a title of a C. S. Friedman's short story?

Answer: "Call Him Lord"

"Call Him Lord" is a brilliant short story by Gordon Dickson, well worth reading!
