Well it looks like we may have to wait a little while to find out who gets danlo's question correct so i think i'll post one of my own to pass the time between then. I'll give you guy's an easy enough one (well depending on how many times you've read the chron's). :wink:
My trivia question refers to a scene in The One Tree and it takes place in Elemesnedane. Okay: when the Elohim propose to "examine" each member of the quest after they have expelled the Haruchai from Elemesnedane, Covenant goes along with an Elohim named Chant, what is the name of the Elohim who examines Linden? Easy? No? :D

Daphin is correct of course. Infelice was the Elohim who lead the Elohimfest. Just as a matter of interest dlpharmd, do you know if infelice had a given title, such as "findail the Appointed" or was it simply "Infelice"?

Good try Khabaal, do you have any trivia questions for us?

Are we allowed to consult the books to ask a question, or does that have to be cheat free as well?

Well, i had just rer-ead The one Tree and that section of the book, so thats why i asked a relevant question, but i don't think there can be any harm in consulting the books for questions. It will probably make it all the more interesting as the questions could be made a little more difficult.

Lots of fun to be had with this, i wonder has it ever been done before?

Hmmm... good answer amanibhavam! You are 100% correct! It's your turn!

In the meantime, here is another question:

What is the name of the Stonedown where Hamako lived (and was subsequently destroyed by the na-Mhoram's grim)?

WOW... Great job Drew! I guess I am making these things too easy hah...

OK... let's see here (reaching into trivia bag since I can't open the books...)

This one will be TOUGH, I am sure...

What is the name of the Woodhelvennin that took Covenant captive at Stonemight Woodhelven? He said to Covenant, "Ware prisoner, else I teach your skull the hardness of my club!"

(And yes, he is named... the Graveler talked to him and mentioned him by name)

Not without my book.
And that would be cheating, wouldn't it?
