I got one

[Berk]

Who is the only Aes Sedai to be mentioned by name in The Eye of the World other than Moiraine and Elaida.

Hint: It is not Suian Sanche, she is only mentioned as "The Amyrlin Seat".

I am new to this board so I do not know if a trivia post like this exists, but I am all for starting one; I love this kind of stuff.

[Yudi]

I don't know if this is what you meant, but my guess is Eldrene ay Ellan ay Carlan. She was the queen of Manatheren during the Trolloc wars.
Of course, if you really want to get technical, Lews Therin is mentioned by name as well.

[Berk]

There is NO way you knew that from memory.

But, anywho, no, I meant a living Aes Sedai.

[shinote]

is it verin???

[Berk]

Nope. :)

Verin is not mentioned until Fal Dara in book two.

Sorry. :)

BTW, there doesnt't have to be one question on the table at any given time. The gauntlet has been thrown down. I challenge everyone. :)

Just indicate which question you are answering at any given time.

[magatsu17]

It's gotta be Sheriam I think Moraine said her name when tell Eqwene she was Mistresses of Novices in the White Tower,

[magatsu17]

OK i got one, what was the name of the inn Rand and Mat stayed at in Four Kings in book one?

[GWINNA]

Who was the first Forsaken to swear to The Dark One?
it wasn't Lanfear.

[magatsu17]

It was Ishmeel(sp) I think, it was in the guide i believe.

[GWINNA]

nope, of course I could be wrong, in which case someone needs to look it up.

[magatsu17]

I could have sworn it's Ishmeel(sp) but I could be wrong, then maybe Mesanna(sp) damn these forsaken name's are hard to spell.

[GWINNA]

I thought it was either Semerage or Grendael

[magatsu17]

I think Semirhage is right, or Ishmeel. My gut still tells me it was him first. I mean it only makes since since him and Lanfear where the most powerful. And he seems to me Rand's Nemisis. him and Padan Fain.

[LaughingTurtle]

ok, people are losing interest, what's the answer, and now for another question...

[magatsu17]

Nobody even tried to answer my question, does this mean I'm the king of useless Wot trivia??

Mat and Rand stayed at the Dancing Cartman in Four kings.

Hahaha I rule.

[nightfairy]

Ishamael - "certainly was among the first to pledge himself to the Shadow, possibly the first"

Other Forsaken were also listed as "among the first" but only Ishy is said to possibly BE the first

[Jacob]

The Correct answer is Anya...not the correct spelling perhaps though. That innkeeper in Baerlon is told to send her a letter after his inn is burnt down and she'd send him enough to rebuild.


And yep, totally from memory did that come:-)

[nightfairy]

FINALLY! THANK YOU THAT WAS DRIVING ME CRAZY ALL DAY!

[Berk]

Ummm, no. The circumstances are correct, but it was, in fact, Sheriam.


Question 2) What was the name of the man Rand stepped on when he took refuge on Bayle Domon's boat and where did that man appear later in the series? :)

[QuirkyTemplate]

I dont remember his name, but I know it's the darkfriend dude that sells them out to a fade later on down the road when their in that one Inn. I suck with names ....

[Berk]

Well, he doesn't appear again in book 1 other than in the inn in Whitebridge where he spreads rumors (not what I was referring to as the time we see him again) but there is no evidence at all that he is a darkfriend.

[balefire]

Originally posted by QuirkyTemplate

Same here. I had 2 girls in class some years back who always tease me by switching names, because they know bloody well that I could never remember who was who. And yes, we only had 2 girls. Light!!

[Jacob]

I was sure it was Anya. But I know that other guy atleast, that was Floran Gelb ~nods~. He is next seen in the story in TSR when he's in Tanchico trying to sell Nynaeve to Egianin claiming that they are escaped Sul'dam.

She's gold I tell you, Gold!

[Berk]

Excellent! Good memory.

Question 3)

Mat and Bergitte have a long discussion in Ebou Dar completely in the Old Tongue with Mat not even realizing it. What is the first conversation Mat has in the Old Tongue without realizing it in the series?

[Jacob]

Errr....are we talking just a few words or something? Talking to himself? Was it before the "raid" to Caemlyn? Oh! I think I know! In the White Tower, when he was being "separated" from the Dagger! Or...something earlier? Surely you can't count when he was Shouting that bit about Caldazar...El'ayene...or something (about the Honour of the Red Eagle...For the Rose of the Sun. The rose of the Sun) early on in TEOtW because that wasn't really a conversation..and he knew that he had spoken those words afterwards.

Soo...?

[magatsu17]

You said conversation in the old toungue, well that has to be when he goes through the first twisted door way in Tear. Cause Rand and Moraine had to have traslators cause they spoke the old toungue, but Mat never needed one.

Haha I still rule

[Berk]

Wow! Your'e good, I'll have to step up the difficulty a notch.

Yes, Jacob, by conversation, I specifiacally meant more than just a few words that one person says, whether or not anyone understands. Magatsu got it right, it was through the doorway.

Question 4)

In book 6, Pedron Niall hangs a boy and his uncle in front of Morgase with the count of being darkfriends. Were they?

[magatsu17]

They were people who where trying to help Morgase escape, but I don't remeber reading any thing in there that would be proof that they are darkfriends. I thought that Nail did it to prove to Morgase she had no escape.

so I say nope they aren't darkfriends, just people trying to help their queen and paid for it with thier lives.

[Berk]

Finally, I got you!!!!

The boys name was Paitr. Morgase mentioned he looked like he had a broken nose at one point in his life and also caught that he was trying to make up for some failure on his part earlier in life somewhere in Andor.

Think back to book 1. Is there anyone in book 1 that Rand punched in the nose, named Paitr, in Andor, that was a darkfriend?

[Berk]

Meanwhile, question 5)

With Morgase's entourage is a street tough named Lamgwin and his girlfriend Breanne. Before Morgase's escape in book 5, where had we seen Breanne before?

[Jacob]

At a party at the Damodred mansion in Cahirien (TGH), she was flirting (sorto) with Rand, before he was "saved" by going to talk to Thom. I believe that Thom's words about her then was that she could "give a man a lesson such as every man should have in a life (if he could survive it)". Or some such:)

[Berk]

Good! Good!

I always thought that was one of my better questions but you got it right away. So, try this on for size.

question 6) What was the first name of the six fingered man in the princess bride? (I know! this isn't WoT, but I couldnt think of any other good questions right now.)

[magatsu17]

Patir, Ohh my god RJ is the Man.

I never even thought about that, I never even noticed that. And Breane, I new that one either.

I don't remeber the Six fingered mans name, even though I just saw that movie the other day. owell


I still rule

[Archbishop]

Tyrone!

[Berk]

Tyrone it is! Excellent


Question number 7)

How did Rand come by the two markings on his palms?

[Archbishop]

The first came from Ishamael channeling fire at him in the Portal Stone world, and the second from his battle with Ishamael above Falme.

[Jacob]

Okay...since that's correct...

What are Cairhien's equalent of wisdom's called? (i.e. the man/woman with the herbs etc.)

[magatsu17]

Wasn't it like Mother Grubb or something, aww I don't know


I guess I don't rule anymore

[Jacob]

ROFL! That might have been what she was called, but they didn't call everyone of her profession in Cahirien that, now did they? (and wasn't that the name of the woman in Caemlyn??)

[magatsu17]

Well I won't let this thread die, so I have a question,

What was the name of the horse that Rand rode out of the Two Rivers?

[Berk]

Hmmm, I think it was Red, the horse none of the others wanted.

I tried to stay away from names and places for my questions but I cannot think of any so I'll do the same:

Question: Other than Mandarb, what horse has Lan ridden?

[magatsu17]

sorry dude, your wrong, Red is the horse Rand rode of Sheinar in book 2. As for Lan, I think the horses name was Cloud Dancer, either way it was in that story RJ did for that Legend book.

[Meyley]

cloud - cos he was grey

[magatsu17]

That's correct, Now I have another one, What was the name of the Inn they stopped at in Baerlon?

[Berk]

The Stag and Lion Inn.

And yes, it was cloud dancer, the horse Lan rode in Legends.

Who besides Jedis used a lightsaber in the original three movies and where?

[Psinyde]

okaaay...

I'm not 100% sure on this one myself, but -

When was the first time balefire was used in the series?

[Theoban]

Nyneave uses it when she and Elayne are captured in book 3. She uses it and doesn't know what it is.

[Berk]

Nynaeve never used balefire; the only one of the three who channeled at all when captured was Egwene in the world of dreams.

As for balefire, I know Moiraine uses it a few times in book 3, but so does Rand at one point. I am not sure which one did it first chronologically.

[Mike]

I believe it was Moiraine who was the first in the series...

[Psinyde]

Thats what i was wondering.

In tEotW when they are trying to escape Machin Shin in the Ways, Moiraine uses something described as bright, white hot bar of flame, which is similar to how b/f is described i think. She uses it to burn a hole in the Waygate, and the reason i think it might be b/f is becasue she had said a couple of time before that almost nothing was powerful enough to destroy a waygate, but surley the most deadly use of the one power in WoT would be an exeption...
I know the way the Waygate is destroyed doesn't seem like b/f (the sparkling motes and all that), but im not sure weve ever really seen an [I]object destroyed by b/f, only people. And the bar of flame is also corrupted by the evil of the Ways, so that could have something to do with it...

I'm not really sure myself that she used b/f, just an idea...

[Beowulf]

Nynaeve used balefire, but didn't know what it was. It was right around when they first met Aviendha. I don't know if that was when Theoban meant or not, though.

[supuradam]

in tgh, moiraine uses b/f to kill the darkhounds that sammael sent after the party following rand on their way out of illian. first time that rings a bell in my head. i even remember her talking about it afterwards. someone asked, and i think she said something like if anyone in the tower knew i could do this, i'd be stilled.

[Buckweet]

yea, me thinks supurdam is right with when Moraine used it...I remember her saying it was a no-no weave.

ok...me now...how many seals are left whole??


muhhahaahahahaaa:D

[archely]

Three intact, but one of these is scratched.

[supuradam]

i have a stumper :D
in the great hunt, moiraine and lan go visit two retired sisters adeleas and vandene, while moiraine is trying to find information that will help her lead rand. while there, their warder/handyman is inspired by the sight of lan to quit being just a handyman and start practicing his forms. good thing for moiraine that he did. now, the questions. #1, what was this warder's name? #2, why was it a good thing that he started practicing with his sword again for moiraines sake?
good luck.:D

[Buckweet]

Well, the I remember that scene quite well.. Its all the talk on why Vandene is a blcak....good theories there...

Anyway... The warder's name is Jaem...and Moraine was lucky he had his sword out, b/c she was attacked by a drakhar and it took both Lan and Jaem to kill it.

the Great Hunt is my favorite book:p

Here's another,....

What was the name of Moraines original horse?

[Berk]

jaem also appears again in books 6 to 9 in salidar, ebou dar, and caemlyn with the girls.

as to her first horse, if you mean in the series, its aldieb (westwind); if you mean chronoligically, its Arrow.

[supuradam]

bah. maybe that one was too easy...:rolleyes:

how about this one. who was the first aiel to pick up a weapon and use it to kill?

[Buckweet]

Burn you....:mad:

the Shadow Rising is the only book, I dont have here at home :p

I know its in that book, when Rand goes into Rhuidian, under the tree and gets those visions, when he is doing the Car'acarn test.

...in the visions he has....I just know it's there.
Do I get partial credit...ehhh?

[supuradam]

i guess... since you knew the book and all that stuff. i won't post the answer yet :) lets see if anyone else gets it :)

[Buckweet]

ok... thats cool, but here is a REAL stumper...hehehehe
~~rubs palms together in an evil way~~~
puts pinky to the side of his lip~~~~
muahhahaaahaha


ok WHo...mind you ... Who taimed Jain Farstrider?

I'll give you a hint -- a certain gleeman's tale has the answer...:D

[supuradam]

heh. it was susa :p

how about this, who was the warder who is the greatest blademaster of all time, and was beaten only once by a farmer with a quarterstaff?

yours was hard though... fortunately i remember things like WoT useless trivia and not how to derive physics equations :rolleyes:

[Buckweet]

Jearom Gaidin!!...the best blademaster of all times--he fought ten thousand times in his lifetime.. and he lost to a farmer with a quarterstaff:p

Im a Gaidin..this is part of my training

[supuradam]

figured you'd know that one ;)
here's one... i don't know the answer though... and i'm kind of curious... so if anyone gets this one it's x2 points...
what land is birgitte from?

[Buckweet]

hmmm...this is kinda of a trick question.
Birgitte is from many lands one for each life she lived...remember she is a hero bound to the wheel. She knows all kinds of wierd phrases and what have you...from the seafolk...borderlands...etc.

So the answer I guess, is that Birgitte has been around;)

Ok, Ill give you kudos for getting Susa, I honestly didnt think you would get that one.

[supuradam]

i tell you, i remember useless information, and not the stuff i need to know... which was evident after i recieved a test in school today :rolleyes:
anywhoo, i remember someone associating a land with her back when. btw, lewin was the first aiel to take up the spear.
since you like gleeman, who were the 3 kings in the story mara and the 3 foolish kings?:D

[Buckweet]

sneaky sneaky, but I got it...this is a popular gleeman's tale...


Mara from the town of Heape, outwitted the three kings---Madel, Orander and Kadar....hehee....nice try:p

Ok,...how about this gleeman tale:

This one is about a silk merchant and this person "????"

[supuradam]

well damn bro. you got me. i have no idea... not even the foggiest...:confused:

here... i guess i'll make my questions a little harder... who invented a'dam?

[Buckweet]

....ok the a'dam, ...this is an easy one...quick reference to the big white book...
*sigh*

and I quote(p.159)


"the first a'dam was made by an Aes Sedai, Deain, who brought it to Luthair Paendrag to curry favor with him. ..."

in the end it says

"... For her troubles deain was rewarded with imrosonment by her own device. ..."


:rolleyes:


And as far as the one I asked ....

It is Mili--- that is Mili and the Silk merchant. That was too cruel, I apologize.:p

So I guess Im up by one point:D

[supuradam]

actually.. you're up by 1 1/2. remember the lewin question?
heh. i think this one might be hard :p
who was the man who got drunk and slept on the inn's roof in market sheran? *hint* it was the best story around till rand and matt showed up. :D

[Buckweet]

It was Ackley Farren,;)
and he was the best story since there was rumor darkfriends were in the village...:D

Ouch that was a toughy.

How about this mister...
..I warn you..it is a riddle... :)

Who taught the falcon how to use its claws????

[supuradam]

darkfriends as a result of rand and mat, mind you...

lets see... i'm assuming that this is a wot riddle, correct? if so... the falcon is obviously faile... i'll get back to you...

[Buckweet]

take your time... I know I did when I worded it...

I think wot riddles should be worth 2pts instead of one.... that is if you get it


~Jeopardy music~~

[supuradam]

lets see.... falcon is faile... or at least i hope... sort of what she is since book 3, on the boat heading to tear. the first time we really see her fight, is when berelain leaves perrin's bedchambers, and she chases after him. so i'm going to have to say that the answer to this one is berelain. she "taught the falcon how to use its claws" when she tried to lay hands on perrin, which pissed faile off, and made her go after her... close?

[Buckweet]

*sigh*.... formulated well but way off...sorry.

It was Eran, back in Saldea. He taught how to use a knife. (the twirling and whatnot)

I admit that was a bit vague ... sorry:D

[supuradam]

ah yes, the dude her dad had watch over her. didn't he do it cause he thought it was funny or something? i'm rereading right now, and coincidentally am on book 4, which is where that scene takes place. can't remember exactly though.

[supuradam]

i got one. have at it.

They can snap like twigs and melt like butter, yet are more destructive than any army and more powerful than any Aes Sedai.

[Buckweet]

hmm , this may take a while...butter twigs and Aes sedai...hmmm

give me till sunday, Im going away for a couple days...I'll think on it though:)

[Theoban]

Well if they snap like twigs or melt like butter, you've just described most ter'angreal, angreal and sa'angreal. Even the Choeden Kal.

Is it the Gholam though? As they cannot be hurt by Aes Sedai, and can move to any form, including melting and snapping.

[supuradam]

not a gholam.
(just a note buck, instead of -------+, your sword would look cooler like
X==={:::::::::::::::::>)

[archely]

is the answer supposed to be something only from WoT? I'd say a heart.

[Buckweet]

Confirmed...has to be ter'angreal.

I cant think of anything else.


Snaps like twigs...(the hedgehog ter'ang. that Faile was trapped in)

melts like butter, [the key for the choden Kal (sp?)]

more destructive than and army, more powerful than an Aes Sedai,... again the Choden Kal,....(can challenge even the creator)


I cant think of anything better...is that anygood?:confused:

ps- The sword in my signature does seem cheezy at times but it is what I have used since the old .org board and Im kinda of too nostalgic to change it:D

[supuradam]

yeah, any kind of angreal ter/sa/angreal was what i was thinking of.... maybe this one will be a little harder...

First invented in the beginnings of histroy, yet this one is older than time itself.

[archely]

Eh, i like my answer better for the snapping/melting one. It isn't exactly WoT, but it works if you think a little bit. I didn't think it could be ter/sa/angreals because on their own, they aren't really more powerful than anything.

[Buckweet]

~~clutches head from hangover~~~:(


the wheel?

[supuradam]

yessir. the wheel. and i feel ya with the hangover :)

[Buckweet]

k, cool...riddle me this batman: :D


I creep about
my touch is the end
I am feared by all
yet my own weaknesses is of my own doing

Name me?

[supuradam]

sounds like a dragkhar with the creeping, and the final touch bit... i'm not sure about the weakness though.... but i'm going to have to go with dragkhar. final answer.

[Buckweet]

yea, a drakhar has no weakness of its "own" doing

Mashadar though is all those

creeps
its touch kills
even trollocs and fades are afraid of it
But mashadar is an evil...was an evil bound to shadar logoth its own corruption created and trapped it there.

[supuradam]

ahhhh.... ture, i was thinking of shadowspawn.

She is the highest of the high, and he among the low.
He loves her with all his heart, yet she doesn't seem to know.

[Buckweet]

~~looks up~~


~~scratches head~~



~~looks up again~~



this may take a while:D

[supuradam]

finally! one that you just might not get....

[Buckweet]

hmmm...ok

A few relationships come to mind but only one fits


I'd say it cant be Egwene & Gawyn
nor Berelain and Ruarc
nor Mat and Tuon

Id say its Gareth Bryne and Suian Sanche

She is not the highest of the high...just high right now but her attitude isstill up there..


dont know if Im right or not:confused:

But--I'll have to grudgingy admit that I couldnt figure this one on my own...my dear brother helped me...teehee

[supuradam]

Morgase and Tallanvor!
Morgase is queen, as far as rank is concerned she's the highest of the high, while tallanvor is just a lowly soldier. He loves her, but she's too blind too see it until dear old Lini points it out to him.

[Buckweet]

yea... that makes a lot more sense

[supuradam]

how about an easy one as a self-esteem booster? :D

It is the master of those that were and those that will be.
To have it on your side helps to ensure your victory.

[Buckweet]

the one Power?

[supuradam]

i was thinkin the horn of valere :(

[Buckweet]

OMG!! I should have gotten that one...grumble gumble....

[Buckweet]

all right I got one:



I come and go as I please



:D

[supuradam]

well damn bro. sort of vague, eh?

hmmm... i'll give it a shot...
let's try... damn. i have not clue in hell.

got me. i'm stumped :rolleyes:

[Buckweet]

yea, you're right...way too vague..

ok

well besides coming and going as I please,
I also have the pleasue of making a many's aquaintance but the friendship doesnt last...for you see I come and go.

[supuradam]

i'm going to have to go with a gleeman.

[Buckweet]

hmm...wow I didnt realize how vague I was
I was thinking more along the lines as An Age, or the Ages of the wheel.
..but gleeman does fit pretty damn well.



Judges?

~~~much aggresive whispering and shoving~~



you get the points!!


:D

[supuradam]

lol. thanks judges... i'd like to thank myself. and... no one else.

As with a Fade, you can not see it or hear it but it is always there.
It has slain more humans than all shadowspawn.
It puts kings on thrones and takes them off.
It raises mountains, then watches them crumble.
It fills oceans, then drys them up.
However, for all the evil it does, it is the one thing Rand cannot get enough of.

(*hint* it has nothing to do with the power ^^)

[Buckweet]

umm, Game of house??\\Im probably wrong ...but

~~shrugs~~

~~goes to play some d2~~

[supuradam]

time.

we'll have to hook up and play d2 some time.

[Buckweet]

thats cool, do you have the expansion..I really wanna mke another assasin.

[supuradam]

yeah, i got d2x
