5. What is the name and gender of Skif's Companion, who was introduced in "Take A Thief"?

There was no male Cymry nor female Kantor. Kantor was Alberich's Companion. She saved him from being burned alive in Karse. Cymry was found by/ found Skif in the middle of a street and he tried to steal her away. In the song "Philosophy," sung by 'Skif,' there is a part about Cymry: "This pretty horse out in the street no owner in my view, I grabbed the reigns and hopped aboard, I thought I was home free!

7. About how long after "Magic's Pawn" is "Magic's Promise" set?

From Quiz The Last Herald-Mage - Part 2- "Magic's Promise"

Answer: 12 years

Technically, since "Magic's Pawn" ended in winter and "Magic's Promise" started in summer, eleven and a half years elapsed between the two books. The most convenient benchmark was Sovvan-night: Vanyel told Tashir that it had been twelve years since Tylendel's death. Also, Vanyel was sixteen in "Magic's Pawn" and twenty-eight in "Magic's Promise".

8. Why is Jervis such an ineffective armsmaster?

From Quiz The Last Herald-Mage - Part 1 - "Magic's Pawn"

Answer: He only teaches a single syle of fighting

Jervis teaches only a hack-and-bash style of fighting, which is completely unsuited to Vanyel's slight build. When Vanyel tries to teach himself a new style of fighting, Jervis catches him, claims that he was cheating, and breaks his arm in an unfair "fight".
