Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is the name of the Great River?

Answer: Ratterlin

The river Ratterlin is the great river that starts at the Clayr's Glacier.The river Yanyl is not mentioned much, but it is one of the rivers in the book. Nestowe is the name of one of the islands of the Old Kingdom, About fifteen miles north of the Ratterlin Delta.The Anduin is the Great river in the Lord of the Rings.

The poem of the Great River is:
Swift river born in deepest night,
Rushing forth to catch the light.
Deep ice and dark, it's swaddling cloth,
The nation's foes will feel its wrath
'Til mightly ratterlin spends its strength
In the delta at full length. -Lirael.
2. The seasons are different in the on the north and south sides of the Wall.

Answer: True

The wall separates the Old Kingdom from Ancelstierre. Even the moon is different. It has magical wind flutes that are only heard by the Dead, so that they do not get out of hand. The flutes crunble into dust on the full moon after the old Abhorsen's death and the new Abhorsen has to make new ones.
3. Fill in the blank of one of the "songs" in the book: "_______ sees all in frozen water".

Answer: Four

The Clayr are a great family that 97% of the time give birth to girls. They have chestnut brown skin and blonde hair. They see possible futures in the ice. They are not born with the sight but get it from around age 7 to 16 at the very latest.
The song of the Five:

Five great charters knit the land
Together linked, hand in had.
One in the people who wear the crown,
One in the folk who keep the dead down.
Three and five became stone and mortar
Four sees all in frozen water. -Lirael.
4. What kind of stones are the circlets of a full fledged Clayr made of?

Answer: moonstones

when the nine day watch sees one of the Clayr being crowned with the circlet of moonstones they have a great ceremony wich everyone attends. Then the one that they saw is crowned with the circlet of moonstones and becomes a full fledged Clayr.
5. The Clayr live in the galcier above the River Yanyl.

Answer: False

They live in a glacier, that once had a name of its own, but over the years became called the Clayr's Glacier. It is the source of the Great River Ratterlin.
6. How many bathrooms does the Abhorsen's bedroom have?

Answer: 2

This is kind of funny because on the map of the Abhorsen's house and grounds on the third floor one of the rooms says : "Abhorsen's bedroom with TWO bathrooms!" Literally! With the exclamation point and eveything!
7. What is the name of Lirael's sword?

Answer: Nehima

It has silver wire on the grip and a green stone set into the pommel. Mosrael and Astrael are two of the Bright Shiners or the names of the Bells and/or Pipes in wich their spirits live on. Binder is the sword Lirael "borrowed" from the chief librarian's lair to bind the stilken she found beyond the Doors of Sun and Moon.
8. How many Bright Shiners were there that "chose to shine"?

Answer: 7

In the "song" it says "I'll sing you a song of long ago. Seven shine the shiners. Oh! What did the seven do way back when? Why, they wove the Charter then. 5 for the Warp from beginning to end. Two for the Woof to make and mend. That's the seven..."-Sabriel, Lirael+Abhorsen.
9. How many Bright Shiners "chose not to shine"?

Answer: 2

continuing from the question above: "What of the Two that chose not to shine? The eigth did hide, hide all away, but the seven caught him, and made him pay. The ninth was strong and fought with might, but lone Orannis was put out of the light. Broken in two and buried under the hill, Forever to lie there wishing us ill." Spooky.
10. "When the dead do walk seek..." what?

Answer: water's run

It goes like this: "When the dead do walk seek water's run, for this the Dead will always shun. Swift river's best or broadest lake to ward the dead and have and make. If water fails thee, fire's thy friend, if neither guards it will be thy end."-Lirael. Also spooky.
