Trivia: no cheating!

Post by MrKABC »

Who can tell me the ORIGINAL name of the Waynhim that had been captured and broken by Lord Foul? :lol:

I recall it as durhisitar. But I probably spell it wrong. My Sanskrit has been shaky lately...

Good try all! I'll give you a hint: it means "to brave the enemy" in Waynhim - and then it renamed itself dukkha "victim".

:lol: I'm enjoying this... any trivia questions for me?

What's Mary's last name in "It's a Wonderful Life"?

Oh, you mean Chronicle questions?
Sorry.

Good one! Congratulations!

The flow was downhill, to the north?

Was a good idea!! Perhaps posting one in the general forum rather than runes will get you more traffic!

Hmmm... good idea... the reason I posted HERE rather than in the general forum is that the trivia, is by nature, spoilers... Wanted to keep it safe...

Maybe (appeal to admin gods) as a sticky we could do this? I would like to match my trivia knowledge against other Earthfriends... ;)

Don't be disheartened - I like this thread! I was pretty pissed when I couldn't remember your first question.

Having it in Runes forum does limit the traffic, I'm afraid. If you like, I could move it to TC forum - you'll just have to limit the questions to 1st and 2nd Chronicles.

If it's moved to SRDgen, then that would open the questions up to everything thing that SRD has written, which may not suit your liking.

Just let me know!

I am so sorry I didn't stop to check your answer - keep reading You are not correct! You need to answer North, South, East, or West...

That still doesn't help me, and since you specifically forbade cheating.....someone else will have to take a crack at it.
