The one i know off the top of my head....
What happens when a Sun of Desert follows a Sun of Fertility? Everything melts/rots.
What became of Atiaran? She studied at the loresratt and died summoning Troy.
Who got what marks on their robes in Morinmoss? TC
Who said: "Are we craven that we fear to give our lives new meaning?" A Lord Shertra mayhaps, unsure.
How many types of Jeherrin were there? 2 mabye more.
Who said "Ask for the Moon!"? Drool i think.
You are partly correct for the results of the sunbanes sun sequence, but someting very unusual occurs as it continues to rot and dry out...and thats a hint
More than Covenant got marks on their clothes in Morinmoss and what were those marks?
Atiaran immoltaed herself in an attempt to resummon the Unbeliever Correct!!
Are we craven... not Shetra, but i think thats a good guess!
Wasnt Drool on the moon thing...
and I have to admit I dont remember how many Jheherrin types there were, I was hoping someone would remember... I have a theory about a character in the new book but the spoiler button wont work for me

Every ten years.

Memla na-Mhoram

Everything turns into gray sludge and evaporates.

Vitrim, Springwine, Diamnondraught, aaand........uh,.............Gatorade?

She joined the Loresratt and burst into flames trying to summon Covenant and ended up summoning Hile Troy instead.

Covenant got green marks from the drooping moss that reminded him of his leprosy.

Manethrall Mahrtiir

Uh,..............two?

King who?

Mahrtiir is correct!
Ask for the moon is not Memla
Even more happens to the rot and gray sludge
The rite of Spring is less often than every ten years, assuming the moon and sun cycles of Earth and the Land are the same.
Atiaran auto de fe is correct!!
You do indeed have three of the four beverages...gatorade is not sufficient.
Lear... King Lear, Shakespeare's Lear. Had a great character in the fool, but the play is strangely fraught with loose ends and plot confusions...the fool disappears....to whence?

"Ask for the moon" is from Triock son of Thuler... (in PTP) Covenant doesn't appreciate his sarcasm.

The missing beverage is metheglin. Of course, it could well be pitchbrew but since it is vitrim combined with diamondraught and those were both mentioned already...

The desert sun melts the plant life into "viscid slop" and then drinks away the moisture until nothing is left but dust.

Hmmmm... I thought there were three types of jheherrin.. I can only remember the roge befylam and the aussat befylam names though...

How did I do?

For the fertility=>desert sun, are we talking about the plain of pampas grass turning into a giant graveling inferno? If so, I thought that was just an isolated incident tied to that particular area of The Land.

Cheers,

Trying to revive this thread...

OK...

The krill of Loric's gem has glowed three different colors, what where they, and why?

If we wait for others to answer this thread will be an empty waste land... much like the area beyond Doom's Retreat... :biggrin:

OK then -

1) White - the krill's natural glow, and indicator of the presence of white gold in the Land
2) Blue - a momentary flash when Mhoram tried to pull the krill from the stone table, reflective of Mhoram's passion;
3) Green - when TC (and the white gold) were in Elena's possession.

(Now that I read these - I'm not so sure this is correct.)

dlbpharmd, you are CORRECT!!!

I'll let you have the blue - the krill was actually blue TWICE... once when High Lord Mhoram touched it and drew a "fleeting gleam" from the gem's core... the second time when Hollian was attempting to change the Sunbane into the sun of rain.

O/T musing: I wonder if we will see the krill again in the new series?

OK... next trivia question!

What was the name of the father of the three Giants that were turned into Ravers?

Heres a good one i think :

What was the name of the stondown, near the joining of the Mithil and Black Rivers, which was destroyed by a pack of kresh?

Nope. :P

EDIT : to add a couple of things.

Landsverge stondown were taken by the Clave.
"Ask for the moon" is from Triock son of Thuler... (in PTP) Covenant doesn't appreciate his sarcasm
I dont think we got the answer to this one. Wasnt it a manthrall in TPTP when TC asks for scouts and supplies etc for his journey to Creche?

I remember that Sunder and Holian talked about this last stowndown as they were relating their lack of success to Linden and TC. It was when the search finally came back to the Land (WGW), and after the fight with the Arguleh where the unfettered was killed. Sunder related that the last village they attempted was completely deserted. I know it was close to Lands Drop, but can't remember the name.
