Great job everyone!! Here we go with another one!
What was Thomin's final duty, and why did he do it?

He broke Lord Verement's back before Fleshharrower could force Verement to swear allegiance to the Despiser.
(I was actually just thinking of this in my 'Bloodguard = Masters?' thread. The Haruchai can get awfully violent with anyone that they even think might be serving Corruption. I don't question Thomin's decision — imagine the damage Foul could have done with a Lord in his power! — but I seem to detect a hint of Master-spirit in it, too.)

I susspect though, this was a togh decision for a bloodguard to make.
I mean they weren't servants of the Lords, they Just protected them. This is almost like a euthinasia (sp)-kill him before it's too late...but I agree with VF that it deffinatly shows the Bloodguard/Haruchai have to break the rules sometimesfor the greater good.

I don't think it was a tough decision at all, nor do I think that it was for the greater good.
Thomin did it because his Vow required him to do it. He was sworn to protect the Lords and his duty at the moment required him to kill Verement, rather than allow him to forge allegiance with Corruption. Remember, to the Bloodguard there is either the Vow or Corruption. No middle ground. Once again they actively participate in the course of history of the Land: Masters using a different name.

Variol and Drew: Great job!!! You both are truly servants of the Land.
Let's see here... I need to come up with a good one...
OK...
Offin na-Mhoram had a problem during his tenure as the leader of the Clave. What was his problem, and how did he solve it?

Offin (or rather samadhi) realized that the Clave had reached the limits of blood that the people of the Land could supply. When the first emmissaries from the Haruchai appeared, he captured them and shed them, beginning the "plight of abomination" spoken of by Bannor in Andelain.

Since we continue to have problems with the board bug, I'm going to split the last few posts into a new trivia thread, and lock this one.
