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

[Skyweir]

Im struggling to remember but I can get up, go to the bookshelf and pull out the books and look it up .. But apart from that .. Teresa inspired the congery with meaning. Her talent for imagery brought the masters together as they prepared for the battles ahead.

[Avatar]

Sky's answer sounds very close to being correct, and I'm having difficulty thinking of any way to improve upon it.

[Avatar]

Well, it could include why the masters thought she was an imager, but I'm happy to accept it as close enough.

Your question Sky...

--A

[Skyweir]

Oooh oops .. ok

What does Teresa question that the Congery also question

[Cord Hurn]

Her talent for Imagery?

[Avatar]

Her previous existence?

--A

[Skyweir]

Yes Av ..

[Avatar]

Damn, I have to stop answering these things.

What was the first recorded instance of Teresa "sensing" that she was passing through the focus point of a mirror?

--A

[shadowbinding shoe]

In Orison's dungeons when she leaves the Lords of the Cares' meeting with Prince Kragen.

[Cord Hurn]

In the underground level of Orison, but not the dungeon, when she and Geraden and Artagel investigate the area where Gart had previously ambushed Terisa (and Prince Kragen, and Kragen's two unlucky guards).

[Avatar]

And Cord Hurn has it. They went to investigate afterwards to see if she could sense anything. In the actual ambush, she didn't go down the passage the attackers emerged from.

--A

[shadowbinding shoe]

Oh, right.

I knew dungeons was the wrong word but wasn't sure what the appropriate word for the underground levels was. Didn't want to call it cellars.

By the way, do the descriptions of these dump lower levels mean Orison was gradually buried as more and more was built or sank over time under it's own weight? Many ancient building undergo this process. For example Notre Dame cathedral is noticeably lower than the surrounding street level.

[Avatar]

Dungeons would have been fine, it was just the timing that was out.

Interesting question...how old was Orison anyway? We don't get much sense of history in Mordant...only as far back as Joyce's lifetime really.

Unusual against the thousands of years of the Land...

--A

[shadowbinding shoe]

I know King Joyce enlarged the castle to deal with administering his new kingdom instead of his former small fiefdom. He also changed parts of the (actual) dungeons into the Congery section. With all the secret passages honeycombing through Orison the building might be weaker than it looks.

My gratitude to you, Avatar. And my new Mordant's Need Trivia question is:

How many mirrors in the Image-room (of Eremis & Gilbur & Vagel) did Terisa or Geraden destroy? (We're going from the moment they entered the room and surprised the renegade Imagers, to the moment of the conclusion of the Imagery contest between Gilbur and Geraden.)

[Avatar]

Oh, good one. And such a good scene.

No idea.

5?

--A

[Cord Hurn]

Not five.

[shadowbinding shoe]

Earthquaker, Wolvesdomain, Mouthballdom, Esmedelde flat mirror, 3 random others? == 7

[Skyweir]

Wow shadow good for you .. you have a great memory ..

Its been a long time since I read the books ..
