5.9 "The Dance of Dragons" Trivia Quiz

Answer: Stannis'

Davos reported about a "band of twenty men, maybe less" who were out before anyone spotted them. The majority of their food and weapon stores were destroyed. Stannis would not admit total defeat, which led to the sacrifice of his daughter.

Robb Stark was long dead at this point, and Daenerys did not reside in a camp.

Answer: Yes

Jon returned with the Wildlings and the giant, and stood outside in the freezing cold before the entrance to Castle Black. It seemed like Alliser gave it some thought before giving the command to open the gates. Afterward, Alliser told Jon he had a good heart, but that it would get them all killed.

Answer: Stannis sent him to Castle Black

Stannis knew Davos would not approve and maybe try and stop the burning of Shireen. He used the excuse of sending him back for aid to have Davos be gone when they sacrificed the young girl. They did need aid, not that Jon had any to spare, so it was a valid reason to send Davos away. Davos tried to get Stannis to allow his wife and daughter to come to Castle Black, but Stannis refused.

As an audience, this would be when most fans knew for sure Shireen was a goner.

Answer: The Dance of Dragons

He brought her a gift, a carving of a stag. He told her she deserved a present. He also thanked her for teaching him to be a grown up.

Kerry Ingram played Shireen.

Answer: True

Trystane and Myrcella would return to King's Landing with Jaime, and Trystane would have an official role beside Tommen on the Small Council. Jaime agreed to the terms, and Trystane agreed to free Bronn under one condition. The condition was that Bronn take a hit to the face like the one he'd given Trystane. That elbow to the face was delivered by Areo, played by Deobia Oparei.

Answer: Too old

He'd accompanied Mace Tyrell to Braavos for a chat with the men of the Iron Bank. Meryn Trant seemed to have a taste for much younger girls, and dismissed three as "too old" before he found one he liked. Though we may not know for sure, Trant most likely killed Arya's fencing teacher after trying to capture her in season one.

He later hurt Sansa's on Joffrey's order and has shown he is not a good man. Arya, revenge never far from her mind, was immediately obsessed with Trant's presence in Braavos and followed him into the brothel.

When he got a good look at her, he seemed to be on the verge of remembering who she was, but let it go when the right girl was shown to him. Ian Beattie played Trant.

Answer: Arya

After following Trant around Braavos, Arya returned to Jaqen at the House of Black and White. He simply asked "and?" The quote was her answer to him. She was supposed to deliver a gift to the Thin Man, a bottle of liquid that I assumed was water from the Many Faced God. When people drank the water, they died. The water from that fountain was obviously poisoned and the Thin Man was not a good person. I am sure the gift of poisoned water was just part of training Arya, maybe a test of morality or judgment, I speculate here. Jaqen told the Waif it made no difference to the Many Faced God if the gift was ever delivered.

Oengus MacNamara played the Thin Man.

Answer: Melisandre

First, Stannis came to his daughter to ask if she would help him. She agreed to do anything she could, and said she did not need to know what was required. She was led to her death, as everyone in camp watched on, even her mother. Her mother initially agreed with the sacrifice, but she became distraught while Shireen burned and tried to reach her.

Melisandre: "Hear us now my lord. For you, we offer up this girl. That you may cleanse her with you fire, and that its light may lead our way. Accept this token of our faith my lord and lead us through the darkness. Lord of Light show us the way. Lord of Light protect us, for the night is dark and full of terrors."

Answer: Hizdahr zo Loraq

Daenerys had agreed to marry him, but that was no longer an option after the attack by the Sons of the Harpy. Jorah saved Daenerys right before the attack began, by throwing his spear into one of the masked perpetrators. Loraq tried to save her too, during the attack, but when he called out to her he was stabbed several times by the Sons.

Answer: True

Daenerys, Daario, Tyrion, Missandei and Jorah were amongst those surrounded down in the pits by the Sons of the Harpy. It looked grim for the mother of dragons and her friends. She closed her eyes and possibly prayed and Drogon appeared in the sky. He came down into the pits and burned many of the villains.

In the process he took many spears into his body. He was not going to leave her there, so she got onto his back said "valahd". I assumed that meant "fly" in Dothraki. They flew off together, which saved both of their lives.
