The Mordant's Need Trivia Game (Spoilers!!!)

[IrrationalSanity]

I can definately remember two of them, Aperyte and Maybel, but I can't for the life of me remember the third

Think about that last hint from Terisa. Not related to the other villages at all (though like I said, there was at least one other in that context).

[TerisasMirror]

Ahhh, I thought if anyone would get the two in Fayle, it would be Quiss.


And IS is definitely on the right track! He even dropped another hint in there (so clever!).

[IrrationalSanity]

Well, no use wineing about where in the rostr the people who answer are...

[IrrationalSanity]

Is it really possible that nobody has touched this thread in over a year?!?

I guess I'll just have to post the last part of the answer to the previous question.

The missing village is Rostrum, in Termigan. I understand it is the source of a most delicious wine...

[Cord Hurn]

An excellently challenging question, Irrational Sanity! Are you up to posing another one?

[Avatar]

If not, you can always post one.

[Cord Hurn]

Very well.
According to Master Quillon, how many years had it been since King Joyse had secured the rule of Mordant from Alend and Cadwal?

[Avatar]

Total guess...20 years?

--A

[Cord Hurn]

Not bad, Avatar! But you'll have to guess somewhat higher...

[Avatar]

30 years?

--A

[Cord Hurn]

Right on the money, Avatar! Your turn to stump us all!

[Avatar]

Ok, easy one to start...what did Elega try and do to help the Alend Contender win the siege of Orison?

--A

[Cord Hurn]

She threw bags of poisonous tinct into Orison's water supply.

[Avatar]

Even easier than I thought.

Ok, your turn.

[Cord Hurn]

At the start of the meeting between Eremis, Gilbur, Kragen, and the lords of the Cares, who requested that the lady Terisa be treated with respect?

[Avatar]

Hmmm, the Tor? Or the Perdon?

--A

[Cord Hurn]

No, but I'll concede the Tor was a logical guess!

[Avatar]

Hmmm, I wanted to say Kragen, but can't remember who brought Terisa to the meeting.

(Y'know, there's a Gap trivia game too... )

Just for fun, here's the quote:

"Before we go further," the Fayle said dryly, "perhaps Master Eremis will explain why he has brought this young woman to hear what we say and decide."

Taken by surprise, Terisa's heart started to pound again.

Abruptly, the Termigan slapped his sword back into its scabbard and sat down. His flat eyes looked at no one. "Yes, Master Eremis. Account for the woman. You ask us to accept too much too quickly."

Master Eremis opened his mouth to answer, but Prince Kragen was faster. "My lords, she is the lady Terisa of Morgan. I know nothing of her. Yet I am in her debt. During my audience with your King, she did all she could to spare me humiliation. For that, the gratitude of Alend is hers." He gave Terisa a formal bow. Then, his voice at once velvet and iron, he added, "My lords, I must ask you to treat her with respect."

Master Gilbur snorted softly.

The Tor peered past the Fayle at her through a blur of wine. "You were with that boy of the Domne's," he said thickly. "Geraden. When I arrived." Without warning, his eyes filled with tears. Blinking furiously, he leaned back in his chair, then slapped his hand down on the table. "Take my gratitude as well. Prince Kragen and I will see that you are treated with respect."

Gulping from his flagon, he slumped to the side as if he had lost consciousness.

"Very touching," the Armigite murmured without quite looking at Terisa. "What will we have next? Offers of marriage?"

The other lords, however, seemed to think better of the Tor than of the Armigite: they didn't acknowledge his sarcasm.

Looks like both Kragen and the Tor are correct answers...my mistake, that's what I get for not reading a little further down . But, the good news is you got to be right TWICE, Av!

Your turn.

Y'know, there's a Gap trivia game too...

I have seen and contributed.
