"He will be Connavar, the Sword in the Storm." - 'The Sword in the Storm', by David Gemmell.

2. What is Bane's soul-name?

Answer: Midnight Falcon

This name is given to Bane by Ruathain, because Connavar did not want to see his son, and so Ruathain saw it fit to take this particular responsibility.

3. Whose soul-name is "the Flame in the Crystal"?

Answer: Caretha the Wyrd

"I am the flame in the crystal, Gaise Macon. My mother was the shadow on the oak. Her mother was the sheltering cloud. You wish to hear the names of all my line?" - 'Ravenheart', by David Gemmell.

4. What is Kailin Ring's soul-name?

Answer: Ravenheart

"As we watched the hound attack the wolves Lanovar whispered something. I didn't hear it quite, so I moved alongside him. 'Ravenheart', he said. I didn't understand at first. Then he he drew in a breath and said: 'My son...Ravenheart'." - 'Ravenheart', by David Gemmell.

5. What is Gaise Macon's soul-name?

Answer: Stormrider

"Another face loomed in her mind - a handsome young man with golden hair and curious eyes, one gold and one green. The Moidart's son, Gaise Macon. The Stormrider." - 'Stromrider', by David Gemmell.

6. What is Feargol's soul-name?

Answer: Raven

"He was riding a wild pony, galloping it over the hills. As he topped a rise the raven had flown up from the long grass. Startled, the pony reared, lashing out with its hooves.

8. Ruathain has a geasa which prophesises that he will die if he does something. What does the geasa say?

9. Connavar's geasa was that he would be killed on the same day that he slew 'the creature' that bit him. What was that 'creature'?
