Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In the first scene, Soraya is hurling objects at Jiaan. Which of these objects hits its target?

Answer: A plate

Soraya is "shooting the messenger". She does not like the news Jiann brings, which is that she must go into exile for her own protection. She hurls a total of five objects before her mother puts a stop to her outrageous conduct.

2. Which royal house is Soraya's father, Merahb, the leader of?

Answer: The House of the Leopard

Merahb is the High Commander of his country Farsala. The "ghan" is the name for the supreme ruler of this kingdom. Nobles like Merahb and Soraya are called "deghans" or "deghasses".

3. What is the name of the heroic figure who legend foretells will be reborn?

Answer: Sorahb

Rostam is Sorahb's father. Merdas is the name of Soraya's toddler-aged brother. Rakash was the name of Sorahb's mount, after whom Jiann's stallion is named.

4. What is the name of the peddler?

Answer: Kavi

Kavi is a former smith, who was crippled in an interaction with an abominable deghan. This fuels his hatred for the entire Farsalan noble class, and leads him to become a spy for the enemy Hrum, a decision which he later regrets.

5. Which young deghan threatens Jiaan with a quirt (a riding whip)?

Answer: Fasal

Fasal is jealous because Jiaan was appointed to an important mission. Jiann had been asked by Commander Merahb to lead Soraya safely into exile. Kavi, blackmailed by Commander Merahb for selling gold-coated bronze filled with lead, is forced to come along.

6. Which of these is a typical Farsalan excuse for poor behavior?

Answer: "A djinn did it"

Djinn are mythical creatures who supposedly take control of a person's actions. There is speculation that the Suud, a group of eccentric desert-dwellers, are the reality behind this myth. However, although the Suud are gifted with magical powers, they cannot in truth take control of a person's actions.

7. Which of these hair traits is the mark of a peasant?

Answer: Curly-brown

Straight black hair is the mark of a deghan. Soraya inherited her dark tresses from her mother, Sudaba. Her father, although a deghan, has the curly-brown hair more common to peasantry.

8. Who are the Suud?

Answer: A group of magical desert-dwellers

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.

9. When Soraya is stuck on top of a large rock formation, the Suud come to her aid. What advice did Abab, a young Suud, give her?

Answer: "Talk rock"

Soraya is baffled by this advice, and must wait for another Suud to help her down from the rock. It turns out that "talking rock" is one of many magical abilities that the Suud possess.

10. How does Merahb die?

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.
