Narnian Trivia

[Nennare]

Ok! Here's where you start out by answering the question posted last and then you ask the next question. Pretty simple stuff here. Just try your best not to cheat too much!!! If you need a hint, don't be afraid to ask for one if it's been a while since the last q. was asked. Here's the first question:
~What is the name of the governor of the Lone Islands?

[Gwenneth]

Gumpas.

What are the names of the seven lords that Caspian is searching for in the VDT?

[Warrior-Poet51088]

The lords Revilian, Bern, Argoz, Mavramorn, Octesian, Restimar, and oh! that last one that's "so hard to remember" would be Lord Rhoop.

Here's and easy one: Who gets the brilliant idea to hack at the sea serpent's body in VDT?

[dawntreader77]

that would be eustace i believe...i always think its something repacheip would do. hmmm

im not sure if im doing this right. but heres my question-

***what is the name place where diggory and polly find ''the queen''***
way to easy i know :rolleyes:

[firefly_ca]

Charn

What's the name of Reepicheep's second-in-command?

[Y. Fish]

Peepicheek (which is also the name my cat narrowly avoided getting saddled with)

What is the name of the magician on the Island of the Dufflepuds? (which is the name my cat got saddled with)

[NiennaTinuviel]

I'm guessing we aren't allowed to look in the books at all? I thought it started with an R...

[Y. Fish]

Newp. Try a letter more like C...

[dawntreader77]

corikon i think...[spelling is now super hard with out the books.]


***what is left of the great king of the ancient giants' ancient script?***

[Between_the_Worlds]

"Though under Earth and throneless now I be,
Yet, while I lived, all Earth was under me."


not sure if I have the wording right

[faeriechylde]

Wow, can't look at the books? Impossible for me... I'm a "check reference" person. My mind automatically forgets things that I know are easily accessible in written form, though it always remembers exactly where to find them. :lol:

[Y. Fish]

Hmm... well, since there doesn't appear to be a current trivia question, here's one:

What two names are found in both Narnia and Middle-Earth? (Hint: this includes character and place names)

[Between_the_Worlds]

Ettensmoor?

[Y. Fish]

That's one. What's the other?

[Between_the_Worlds]

oooohhhh, I don't know!! is it a character?

[Y. Fish]

Yes... in one series. Not in the other.

[Dragon]

oh yeah... now I remember thinking when I saw Ettinsmoor on the map whether it was in LotR as well. But I had forgotten about it. Oh well.

(I just now pulled out the maps of both Middle Earth and the lands around Narnia and noticed in Middle Earth it's Ettinmoors and in the land above Narnia it's Ettinsmoor. Wouldn't have remembered that without looking at the map, but a neat little bit of trivia).

Not sure about the name. Only thing I can think of is Fredegar Bolger in LotR and the Bulgy Bears in Narnia. But I don't know if that's who you meant.

[aren3]

I think I've found it but I cheated. I'm currently reading through LotR and decided to look at the map, partly to track the Fellowship, and partly to find the answer to this question. Since I used the book, I won't say unless you want me to.

[faeriechylde]

I think this trivia should be "open book" just because even the ability to find the answers in books or series this size would be impressive to me! :lol:

[dawntreader77]

i must agree with fae...i think we should have a vote though [im in a voty mood if you will...]this is probably the stupidist idea ive ever had...come to think of it all my ideas are stupid.

[Dragon]

I would suggest that after a day has passed without the correct answer, then people can start looking in books if they're stumped. That way it lets those (not I) who are really good at this sort of thing to show it. But it also is good to those who love to flip through pages to find stuff (like me).

(I've been looking in the books for this other one, but I can't think of what it could be, unless I was right about Bulgy, which I don't think I was... So flipping through the books isn't always a giveaway).

[Y. Fish]

It's not Bulgy, but good guess. Here's a hint: In Narnia, the name is a character name. In LoTR, the name is a place name.

but how do we know if its been a day or not...i dont believe that it gives the day that the post was posted but then again it may and im just not paying attention. thats a brilliant idea though

[dawntreader77]

i appologize i now see that it does show the date so are we gunna go with that?

[rosymole]

good question! well, Bree the horse and Bree the place in the Shire ( does that count) HOw about King lune and I'm sure I rememeber something about mOuntains of Lune in LotR?

[Y. Fish]

Yes! And rosymole wins the grand prize of... that warm fuzzy success feeling you get when you answer a question right. I was wondering when somebody would get Bree. As for Lune, I hadn't thought of that one, but it sounds like it could be true.

[rosymole]

The lune is something in the intro of FotR i think, but i wouldn't put money it,

Right, new question..
erm, bit stumped here
ok, Who is Zardeenah?

[Y. Fish]

Hmm... sounds like Calormen. Not a main character, but didn't Aravis talk about going into the woods to mediate with some godess before her wedding day? Is that Zardeenah?

[Ramandu]

Hmm... sounds like Calormen. Not a main character, but didn't Aravis talk about going into the woods to mediate with some godess before her wedding day? Is that Zardeenah?

Yeah, that would be one of the godesses of the Calormenes.

Next question.....

What kind of fish is cooked up by the Pevensies and Trumpkin in PC? (I hope they only ate fish once so that there aren't multiple answers... :blink: )

[NiennaTinuviel]

wasn't it trout?

[Ramandu]

No, not trout......

[aren3]

I know that one! Pavenders.

[Ramandu]

Yep! Somebody else can ask the next question.....

[Y. Fish]

Okay, straight from the official Narnia Trivia book: What is Aunt Letty mending when Uncle Andrew, Jadis and the children return to England the first time?

[NiennaTinuviel]

This is hard I really oughtn't to guess but it's fun. Sheets?

[Y. Fish]

No, but close. I only remembered it because of the illustration.

[NiennaTinuviel]

I remember seeing the illustration too but I just can't remember exactly what she was mending. A dress maybe?

[Dragon]

um, my memory would say a quilt.

[NiennaTinuviel]

i think your memory serves you well...

[Ramandu]

It was a matress, wasn't it?

[rosymole]

Horaah! - she landed on it when Jardis got moody with her - quite handy 'd say!

[Y. Fish]

Yep, 'twas a matress to be sure. :D

[Dragon]

oo oo my turn! This should be a very easy one.

What food was offered to Edmund when he returned to report about his brother and sisters and Aslan? (Edmund didn't want to eat it because his mind was still on Turkish Delight.)

[NiennaTinuviel]

I REMEMBER THIS ONE!!! Bread! A crusty bit of bread and I think some water.

[rosymole]

Well done, you win that same piece of bread!

What was the name of giant in the battle that didn't go too well in Prince Caspian?(very badly worded sorry!)

[Between_the_Worlds]

er......Rumblebuffin?

[rosymole]

yes! gold star for you!

[Dragon]

I thought it was Wimbleweather.

[NiennaTinuviel]

wasn't rumblebuffin the giant from LWW? The one that was stone but got turned back by Aslan?

[Between_the_Worlds]

Originally posted by rosymole@Aug 24 2004, 10:08 AM
yes! gold star for you!
coolness!!
okay, I've got two questions.

1. What was the name of the young Calorman in LB?

2. Which of the girls of the Seven Friends of Narnia liked him the most?

[Dragon]

Can't remember his name, but I'm pretty sure that it was Lucy who liked him.

[NiennaTinuviel]

The Calormen boy who went into the New Narnia?

[Y. Fish]

His name was EMETH! And I remember that because he's my favorite character :)

[NiennaTinuviel]

oh yes i remember now. I can totally see him as hot too...

[Between_the_Worlds]

Yay for Dragon and Fishy!!!! Yup, thats it!

Alright, someone else ask a question.

[Dragon]

What was the name of the fisherman who "owned" Shasta?

[Capstick]

I believe the name of the fisherman was "Abib" (did I spell that correct?) Of all the books, The Horse and His Boy is my favorite.

If that is the right answer, then my question is this: what is Bree's REAL name (extra points if you get the spelling correct!). :)

[NiennaTinuviel]

Oh goodness wasn't it something like breeheeheehinny or something ridiculous like that?

[Between_the_Worlds]

yes, something like that. but I could never spell it without looking at the books.

[Capstick]

I just checked the books and found out I was wrong! :o The fisherman was not named "Abib", but it does begin with an "A."

By the way, Bree's real name was "Breehy-hinny-brinny-hoohy-hah," so, yes, you were very close! :)

[Between_the_Worlds]

wait, wasn't the fisherman's name Ashish or something? I know it started with an A. Ashish I think it was, although I don't know how to spell it.

[GrayCloak]

Yah, it was Arsheesh I believe

[Y. Fish]

Ha ha. I have a friend named Anish. He's not a Calormen fisherman, though.

[Warrior-Poet51088]

I believe it was "Asheesh."
Pretty sure, soo....

What was the original name of "The Horse and His Boy"?

[NiennaTinuviel]

Wasn't it something about two brothers? I don't know but I think I remember something like that being mentioned in reference to THB

[rosymole]

That sounds about right, the 2 brothers thing, but haven't a clue really!

Must apologise about my GIANT :lol: mishap - thinking about it now, i was wrong and send grovelling apologies to all!

[rosymole]

Well, the old triv game seems to have lost its sparkle, so I shall take the liberty of re-starting it! Ready, Steady, Go...

What is the first recipe Jill reads in the giants recipe book at Harfang in the SC?

[GrayCloak]

Well, the old triv game seems to have lost its sparkle, so I shall take the liberty of re-starting it! Ready, Steady, Go...

Yes, it would seem that Aragorn51088, is too smart for the rest of us....(I remove my hat to you sir.... :lol: )

As for the new question, I believe the first entry in the cook-book was 'Mallard' followed by 'Man,' and then 'Marshwiggle.'

Do tell me if I'm right....

Could I get some knee-bending action too? Groveling? Bowing, at least? No? Oh well...... :D

GrayCloak: I hate it when I forget, and then have to ask ppl ?'s about htemselves, but you sound like you're from the UK ("ready, steady, go", as opposed to our American "ready, set, go") Also: Are you a guy or a girl(I was gonna say something like "and I tip my hat to your manners, sir," but I didn't wanna go and make you all mad if I got your gender wrong.)

[GrayCloak]

I'll bend my knee, but only because your name happens to be Aragorn.... :D

GrayCloak: I hate it when I forget, and then have to ask ppl ?'s about htemselves, but you sound like you're from the UK ("ready, steady, go", as opposed to our American "ready, set, go") Also: Are you a guy or a girl(I was gonna say something like "and I tip my hat to your manners, sir," but I didn't wanna go and make you all mad if I got your gender wrong.)

In terms of where I'm from, your right on both accounts. My Mum is English but my Dad's American. I was born in England, giving me dual citizenship, and have been back there to visit family, though currently I live in America. My grammer, I have been told, falls more under 'English' then 'American'

I wouldn't have gotten mad if you'd said sir, but it would have been incorect as I am a girl. (at least I was last time I checked.... :lol:) I'm often mistaken for a guy on the internet (I blaim having four brothers), and as long as you still don't think I'm a man in person, we'll get along just fine.

[dawntreader77]

so whats the question again? i seem to of gotton lost.

[Dragon]

I don't think there's been a new question yet since the answer of "Mallard" by GrayCloak.

I'd post one, but my brain's fried now. which is why I'm studying for my test I take later today. Wait. Reverse that. I'm studying for my test I take later today, which is why my brain's fried.

So anyone who wants to post a new question, it seems to be open for anyone to do this.

[Rhindon]

Who told king Edmund of a secret way to get into Archenland?

[GrayCloak]

It was Sallowpad the Raven, correct?

Is so:

What was the only other thing in the spare room besides the Wordrobe?

[Rhindon]

Correct.

Hmmm... My guess is either a window or a chair.

[GrayCloak]

Nice try, there was a window, because what I'm thinking about was on the windowsill... Want to try again?

[Dragon]

um, a plant? I remember there being a fireplace in the Pauline Baynes' illustration in my book.

[GrayCloak]

Nope! Lol! Sorry this is kida obscure.

Here's a hint (and a big one at that): It *was* alive at some point....(But it wasn't a plant.)

[Capstick]

I believe the only other thing in the room besdies the wardrobe was a dead fly on the windowsill, correct?

If that is the right answer:

QUESTION: In Prince Caspian, what nickname did the four children give to Trumpkin the dwarf, and what did it stand for?

[Rhindon]

DLF and it stood for Dear Little Friend.

[Dragon]

QUESTION: What was Lucy's initial reaction when she stepped on the snow in the wardrobe? What did she first guess she was stepping on?

[AlwaysHis324]

mothballs :D

[Dragon]

Yay! Mothballs is correct!

QUESTION: In Prince Caspian, what was the order that the Pievensie children saw Aslan? (Who saw him first, second, third, and last?)

[GrayCloak]

I want to say Lucy, Edmund, Peter then finally Susan. *sigh* poor Susan, I'll never get over what happens to her....

[Dragon]

That's correct, and I agree. I always thought Susan had a tragic twist to her. Very interesting storywise, but very sad.

I'll let someone else do the next question. It's almost 3 in the morning and now that I've finally finished my paper for tomorrow morning (er-technically today morning), I'm going to bed.

[faeriechylde]

You guys just ran with other questions after that, but this actually was not the right answer. The answer is, I think, an empty blue-bottle (whatever that is...), right, Gray Cloak?

[GrayCloak]

You're right faeriechylde, except it's a *dead* blue-bottle, which is actually a fly, so technically both yours' and Capsticks answeres were correct. Though yours' was more acurate. :D

*sticks out tongue at Capstick* :P

[faeriechylde]

:lol: I've got to admit that I had no idea that a blue-bottle was a fly, so my hat's off to Capsticks after all. Having read the books when I was very young, I automatically assumed it was actually a blue-colored bottle, and that by dead the author meant "empty." Afterwards when I read it again that's always the way I saw it just because of my first impression. Isn't that strange?

Okay, here's another question:

What animal goes crazy when the White Witch insists that Father Christmas can't have come to Narnia, causing the Witch to become angry and turn it to stone (along with its friends and family)?

[Y. Fish]

The baby squirrel. (Heh heh, I remember being so excited that there was a dead bluebottle fly on the windowsill when I first read LWW. I'd just read The Borrowers and there were bluebottle flies in that, and I just thought that was the coolest name for a bug ever.)

So then, um... question, question, question. Oh! Okay, here's a question to which the answer is a running joke between my brother and I:

Behind what were Lasereen and Aravis hiding when they saw the Tisorc? (and you get extra brownie points, redeemable for brownies, if you answer the way my brother did :) )

[Dragon]

I believe it was a sofa. How did your brother answer it?

[Y. Fish]

Well, he answered it wrong when I was quizzing him with my Narnia Trivia book. So after that, he answered every question "a SOFA!" in his little Zukeenee-voice. Now, whenever I ask him a question that he doesn't know, he says, "a SOFA!"

... yeah not that funny if you weren't there, but trust me, it was hillarious at the time.

[rosymole]

Oh, and the triv seems to have ground to a halt again, so again the herculean task of restarting i shall take upon myself,

Fill in the blanks - from memory if poss!

Taken from MN, when Jardis is rampaging around London:

"Not one stone of your city will be left. I will make it as Charn, as ______, as ______, as ________"

First correct answer wins a prize!

[rosymole]

bumpetybump. Ok, how about you can cheat, and even if it's wrong you still get a prize?
Any takers now? It's lonely in here :(

[Dead Rain]

lol!

but i don't remember what she said. man, and that's my fav. of the books! *sad Sigh*


P.S. i'll probably "cheat" *wink* later once i find the book. it's somewhere in my brother's messy room so it'l take a while. *shrugs* :P

[rosymole]

Hooray! finally someone to join me in the halls of triv! Thank you DR, have some cheese on toast :P

[Artemis]

Helo, i'm new, can I join in the Trivia? :blink:

[rosymole]

Of course you can! Welcome aboard! The last question was
Taken from MN, when Jardis is rampaging around London:

"Not one stone of your city will be left. I will make it as Charn, as ______, as ______, as ________"

as no one else has the guts to answer this one it seems, i shall allow some minor cheating (not usual practice i assure you). ONce you've answered it correctly, you post the next question and on it goes form there - have fun, and play nice B)

[Y. Fish]

*cheats*

"I will make it as Charn, as Felinda, as Sorolis, as Bramandin."

Cool names. Wonder where he came up with them.

So, next question: in which direction did Jill and Eustace face at the beginning of The Silver Chair to ask Aslan if they could go to Narnia?

[Dead Rain]

rosymole-- i couldn't find the book. oh well.
Y. Fish--i am truly not sure. i don't know. someone else can answer.... duh. what am i talking about? ahhhhh!

[rosymole]

Oh, lets have a guess.. did they face East? If I'm wrong you can rap my knuckles :o

[Y. Fish]

They sure did! Just like on the island of Ramandu. Your knuckles remain safe... for now. ;)

[Between_the_Worlds]

*snort* haha!! sorry, that was just too funny for me to resist snorting at!

I did have a really good trivia question, but I've forgotten it now. ;)

[rosymole]

Right you crazy peeps! :D
It may, possibly, have been noticed than I do like a bit of the old triv, so again I shall be Hercules, or Heracles if you prefer, and attempt yet again the mighty task of trying to re-start the triv-ness, so here goes..(runs off to find a book)

What was the name of the cheif Black Dwarf in LB?- and no cheating now!

(if any n00bs want to join in - do, you might win a prize!!)

[Y. Fish]

Oh-- ohohohwaitaminute! I think I remember that one! I'm getting a "Ginnarbrik" or something of that sort. Am I right?

[faeriechylde]

Drat! I forget... the first name to pop into my head was "Nickabrick," but he's from Prince Caspian, I think...

[dawntreader77]

yeah nickibrick was in pc i cant think of this one either..especially since we cant cheat now heehee :ph34r:

[faeriechylde]

:lol: Hey, Wes! It's good to see you! I don't know why looking in the book is considered cheating, but I don't have the book anyway, and I haven't read it in ages... <_<

[In a Stable]

Since I'm new around here, I don't know if its my place to interrupt here, but you see, I have a few bits of trivia that I've been asking all over the place. I've yet to find anyone who can correctly answer them, and I want that to change! So, I'm gonna ask them here.

In VDT after Lucy reads "The Story for Refreshment of the Spirit" in the Magician's Book, she tries to recall the story in her mind. She mentions four things that the story was about, before she realizes she can't remember. What are those four things? (in order)

[rosymole]

In a Stable - i thank you greatly fore kickstarting the occassionally sticky triv!
That's a v good question, without looking at the book (which would be cheating and therefor wrong) all that springs to mind is something about a wood, or trees or something, one i do remember however is how Lucy wanted to carry on reading the story for ever and ever (something i can identify feeling as a child, esp where the LB was concerned!)

[In a Stable]

Almost. You're getting warm. A tree is one of the things she mentioned. I'm sorry this one is so tricky, but it was one that really stood out to me.

[rosymole]

Don't be sorry! It's good to have some new questions.
Out of interest, do you just find them your slef or use a triv book ,if there is such a thing?

[In a Stable]

I've never seen any trivia books. I just read (and listen to) the Chronicles of Narnia ten times a year or so. I devour the books like a hungry animal, and each time I read I find something I never noticed before. That was one of the things I noticed this time around!

[Dead Rain]

htat's cool. must be fun to do that. do you have anyone that you quiz yourself with?

i'm almost to that part in VDT cause i'm reading it now for the first time. i've seen the movies though, but can't remember what the things were.

when i get to that part, may i tell everyone, or no?

[In a Stable]

Actually there's this one person online I sometimes quiz, and he tries to quiz me. And yeah, once you know it, go ahead and post it here. I have a feeling no one will be able to get it from memory.

[Dead Rain]

ok well, in the meantime here's another question:

What is the name of the morning star of Narnia? (In a Stable, look away!)

[Y. Fish]

Okayokayokay... engage the memorymode, Fishy...

I think she remembered something about a cup, a sword, a hill, and a... um, a... rats! What was that fourth thing? A rose? I remember the cup and the sword for sure.

[In a Stable]

You're very close It's a Cup, a Sword, a ----, and a hill. Just one more to go...

[Dead Rain]

oh i'm almost there in the book. not quite. i think i'll let Y Fish here give it another try.

[Dead Rain]

so is anyone gonna answer my question?

[In a Stable]

I would, except I can't remember that one without cheating.

[Dead Rain]

oh. wel don't cheat. anyone else?

[Dead Rain]

i'm at the chapter RIGHT NOW. but i'll have to wait till tomorrow to post the answer..... oh well. (the answer to the things Lucy was to reme..)

[Dead Rain]

oh oh!! i know it i know it. pick me pick me!!!!!!!!! *waves hand frantically*

[Dead Rain]

ok fine i'll just answer anyway. it was a cup, a sword, a tree, and a green hill.

[rosymole]

ok fine i'll just answer anyway. it was a cup, a sword, a tree, and a green hill.

yeah DR! In the abscense of In a Stable i can confirm that you have given teh correct answer and can present you with a prize of a green post-it-note which you write on. Well done!
How silly am I- I couldn't find the triv thread, because i didn't scroll the page down- foolish child!

What's your piece of challenging triv then DR?

[Dead Rain]

thank you, thank you, thank you all! *bows*

well.. not sure. why don't you go next, though, rosy?

[rosymole]

Give me bit to think of something, errr, ok...
What kind of fur was the dwarf driving the WW sleigh wearing?

[crjr9833]

hhmmm...that's tough. Bear?

[rosymole]

almost..need to be a bit more specific...

[crjr9833]

Polar Bear?

[crjr9833]

Grizzly? Black? Kodak? Sun?

[rosymole]

CONGRATULATIONS!
your turn!

[crjr9833]

what was the name of the Driad in The Last Battle who goes up to Tirian and brings terrible news. Then dies.

[rosymole]

ah, confused, so many types of bear!! Polar was the right one!

Re the Dryad- did she have a name? really can't remember?

[Dead Rain]

i don't know about that one. never read LB.

[In a Stable]

I'm clueless. I know she was the nymph of a beech tree, but if she had a name, I never noticed it.

[Dead Rain]

o o o o o! i have a good one. i have a good one! can i go next?! PLEASE!!!!?!?!??!?!???!??!

[rosymole]

you charge on in there old love DR!
(I'm going to be a giraffe a stick my neck out and say that the nymph didn't have a name in the vain hope I'm right!)

[rosymole]

i'm still awaiting, and i was sooo excited! (blinks slowly and looks around for more triv..)

[Dead Rain]

*peaks around the corner:* whoops. *says as walks into room:* sorry. i forgot about this! heehee. well i suppose i'll have to use a different question.... *starts to sit in chair by fireplace*....now that it has been so long. so..here: ...well let me think. *puts hand to mouth in a thoughtful way* Ah! i have one. are you ready? *a short pause for other person(s) to answer* What is the name of Shasta's fisherman-master?

and then what is the name of the Tarken who came to buy Shasta?

[Bitter Milton]

I know his dad was Arsheesh. Did the Tarkhaan have a name?

[GrayCloak]

Bitter Milton got the first one hands down. *tips off hat*

The Tarkan's name is Anradin, isn't it? I think Bree makes mention of it in passing. At least I'm pretty sure....Am I right Rain? Huh? Huh? Am I right!? ;)

[Between_the_Worlds]

Oh oh oh!!! I know!!

Eh, Shasta's fisherman's name was Arsheesh. And the Tarkaan's named started with A too. Hold on a minuted...I remember Bree saying it.

Anradin? Is that it?

Uh, what was the name of the man whom Aravis was to marry?

[Dead Rain]

you got it Milton! and you got it Gray!

but for some reason i can't remember what that dude's name is, BTW. i feel so stupid kuz i was thinking about it the other day.

[Bitter Milton]

Aravis was to marry Ahosta Tarkhaan i believe.

[Dead Rain]

that sounds right, Milton! is it, BTW?

[Dragon]

At the end of HHB, during Cor's reign, what was the name that Prince Corin came to be known as because of his skill as a fighter?

[Bitter Milton]

THUNDERFIST! When you say fighter, you mean boxer, correct?

Hmmmmm. In PC, when there is a secret meeting in after the return of the Pevensies, Nikabrik is there with several companions. Who are they? (What races)

[rosymole]

I beleive iit's in a cavern underneath where the stone table stood , Aslan's Howe, and Nikabriks chums were a werewolf, a witchy/hag type of person, and err, that's it...

[Amanda]

I know that someone here is going to get it...What is the name of the sword that Peter recieved as his Christmas gift?

[rosymole]

Aha, that is indeed a good question, becuase I would say Rhindon, (sorry Rhinds beat you to it lol!), but i think that in some versions of LWW published in the US the sword was called Ulfsbane, or something similar? anyone lese hear about that?

[Dead Rain]

no not me. i only know it as Rhindon.

but next question.

what was the name of the lord from VDT who was thought to have died on Dragon's Island?

[Dragon]

I would say Rhindon, (sorry Rhinds beat you to it lol!), but i think that in some versions of LWW published in the US the sword was called Ulfsbane, or something similar? anyone lese hear about that?

Interesting. In my early version of the book, the last sentence in the chapter "Peter's First Battle," Aslan says "Rise up, Sir Peter Fenris-Bane." and the same place in my newer book says "Rise up, Sir Peter Wolf's Bane." I don't remember seeing it call it Rhindon in either version I have. Where more precisely does it say the name, if you can remember? Now I am interested...

[GrayCloak]

Peter mentions the name of his sword in PC when the children find their gifts from Father Christmas. He says something to the extent of 'Ah my old sword Rhindon with which Aslan knighted me'

ahhh, it was something like that; I don't have time to look it up at the moment.

[Amanda]

Smile...Ah, the joy of like minded people!

When I crafted the question, I was thinking of Rhindon. Reference is the PC scene where Peter runs across the sword in the treasure chamber of the dilapidated Cair Paravel.

As for Fenris-bane/Wolfs-bane/Ulfsbane, it's essentially the same thing. In Norse folk-lore, Fenris is the wolf son of Loki. Fenris is bound with the dwarven forged chain Klepnir through trickery, and in the process bites off the hand of the god Tyr. Norse lore states that when Ragnarok (which is comparable to Armageddon in Christianity), anyway, at the end of the world Fenris break Klepnir and run around devouring everything and eventually slays Odin, the father of the Gods.

Anyhow, my point is that Fenris is a familiar term for wolf in many European cultures, but they probably changed it in the American version of the books since publisher seem to think (sometimes rightfully so) that Americans are completely oblivious to anything outside the States.

Fenris-bane, Ulfsbane, wolfsbane - I believe that these references refer to Peter, not his sword.

[rosymole]

Amanda - welcome and please be accepting of my respect! You are right of course, thanks for jogging my memory! I remember reading about it a couple of years ago and the facts got a bit muddled in the vast expanses of my brain!

As for DR's question i'm going to guess at Barr (?) or something- probably very wrong but i shall soldier on!

[Daughter of Eve]

*waves hand* I know!! Lord Octesian! And Caspian offered the arm ring to Lucy after Eustace gave it to him, and she offered it to Reep, and then Caspian threw it, and it hangs on the cliff. :D

Name the four signs in order. (Yes, its easy, but I'm tired)

[Dragon]

Oh, let's see... I know the first one:
The first person Eustace will see is someone he knows. Talk to him and he will give you help.

[Prince Corin]

1. As soon as the boy Eustace sets foot in Narnia, he shall met an old and dear friend. He must greet that friend at once! If he does, you will both have good help.

2. You must journey out of Narnia to the north, till you come to the ruin city of the Ancient Giants.

3. You will find a writing on a stone in that ruin city, and you must do what the writing tells you.

4. You will know the Lost Prince if you find him, by this: That he will be the first person you have met in your travels who will ask you to do something in My Name. In the name of Aslan!

And no, I didn't cheat.

Q: What was the name of Cor's and Aravis's son, and what was significant about him?

[Amanda]

Ram the Great.

He was the most famous king of Archenland.

Am I right?

[Prince Corin]

Ram the Great.

He was the most famous king of Archenland.

Am I right?
You're right Amanda. Good job.

[Amanda]

Jadis, the White Witch was the daughter of whom?

[Capstick]

I think it's in The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe, and isn't it Mr. Beaver who makes a comment about Jadis being the daughter of Adam's first wife Lilith? However, this seems contradictory to the Magician's Nephew, in which Lewis says that her origins were from the world of Charn. Anyway, is that the answer you're looking for?

[Amanda]

Mr. Beaver says that Jadis was a decendent of Lilith (you're right) and a giant. The Charn thing...Lilith's decendants probably stumbled into Charn in the same way that people stumble into Narnia.

And I made a mistake, I should have said decendant instead of daughter...good catch!

Your turn!

[Capstick]

Alright, how about this:

In LtWatW, when the children first see Aslan, who (or what) is standing beside him?

[GrayCloak]

A. A leopard and I believe it's bearing Aslan's standard.

Ok, here's one:

What was Father Christmas's gifts to Mr. and Mrs. Beaver?

[Bitter Milton]

Mr. Beaver: His dam is completely finished/repaired.

Mrs. Beaver: A new sewing machine!

What is Lucy's cordial made from?

[lsipher]

The bottle is made of diamonds. Is that what you were asking?

- Lou

[Prince Corin]

It's made from the fire flowers in the mountains of Aslan I think. (Something like that.)

[Capstick]

"[Father Christmas] gave her [Lucy] a little bottle of what looked like glass (but people said afterward that it was made of diamond)..."In this bottle," he said, "there is a cordial made of the juice of one of the fire-flowers that grow in the mountains of the sun..." -The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe, chapter 10, pg 109 (in my edition).

So the bottle is made of diamond, but the cordial is made of fire-flowers; I think Milton will need to clarify exactly which answer he was looking for.

[Prince Corin]

Q: In HHB, who went to warn King Edmund and Queen Lucy at Cair Paravel about Rabadash's attack on Anvard?

[Arathornia of Rivendell]

Oh! Oh! I know this one! It was the Stag, but what was the Stag's name????? Argh, I can't remember!! Somebody help me out! :eek:

[Amanda]

Ahh! It was Ch something. Chervy....something like that.

[Prince Corin]

Correct! It was Chervy the Stag.

[rosymole]

oh i've missed triv!
Right, a quicky and an err easy...

How many arms does Tash have?

[Arathornia of Rivendell]

I believe it was five, but I'm not sure. Maybe three? I can't remember. :confused:

[rosymole]

not quite...welcome to you Arathornia anyway, i don't believe I've introduced myself yet, but I hope you have a great time here, and feel free to ask any questions!
-Rosy

[Prince Corin]

It was four.

[rosymole]

correctomundo! Next Question belongs to you friend!

[Prince Corin]

Ok...uh...here's a hard one (I think).

Q: In The Last Battle, what were the Narnian casualties of the first battle with the Calormenes?

[Arathornia of Rivendell]

welcome to you Arathornia anyway, i don't believe I've introduced myself yet, but I hope you have a great time here, and feel free to ask any questions!

Thank you, rosymole! :D


Now to try and answer this question:

I think they were the Bear, Three Dogs, and the Horses. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[Prince Corin]

You've got it right except that there was a 4th dog wounded. I had forgotten about the horses, since they were slaugtered by the dwarves just as the battle started. But they were in the battle I guess. Anyway, thanks for correcting me and good job! The next question is yours!

[Arathornia of Rivendell]

OK, here we go:

Q: At the end of the Last Battle, who was the first person to come out of the gates of the walled garden in Aslan's country?

It's kinda easy, but oh well. :D

[In a Stable]

Oooh, I can't remember for sure, but I think it was Reepicheep?

[Arathornia of Rivendell]

Exactly! Good job, In a Stable. You get the next question! :D

[In a Stable]

Ummm, ok. This is an easy one, but I'm tired and I'm not thinking straight. Near the end of the Last Battle, Queen Lucy says, something, and that is what I got my sn from. Finish the quote:

"In our world too, a stable once had something inside it ---- --- ------ ---- --- ----- -----."

Ok, I know it's not a real trivia question, but it was the best I could come up with at the moment. :o

[rosymole]

thinks off the top of head...
was it " which was bigger than the whole world"?, or something like that, it's been awhile since I've read LB so it's a total guess!

[In a Stable]

Yes! You got it! :D That's my favorite line in the entire CON series.

Your Turn

[rosymole]

ok, without looking in the book...(tee hee) can anyone name a title of one of the books on the shelf in Mr Tumnus home?

[Arathornia of Rivendell]

One of the books on his shelf was Is Man a Myth? :D


In the Last Battle, the Lady Polly and Lord Digory(Digory and Polly from the Magican's Nephew) had a party for the people who had been to Narnia. Who appeared to them at that Party, and how did Eustace and Jill get to Narnia after that?

[Bitter Milton]

King Tirian appeared at the party. Eustace and Jill were taken to Narnia during the railway accident.

[Arathornia of Rivendell]

Excellante, Bitter Milton! I actually thought I remembered them using the Rings, but I checked, and you are correct! Thank you for correcting me.
Your Q, Milton. :D

[Daughter of Eve]

They were going to use the Rings, Peter and Edmund went to dig them up, but remember, oh, was it Edmund's comment about Aslan using his own ways? I think it also ties in with the "not a tame lion" theme.

[Bitter Milton]

How much time is there between PC and VDT?

[Prince Corin]

How much time is there between PC and VDT?
3 years of Narnian time, and 1 year of our time.

Q: What did C.S. Lewis always insist on being called instead of "Clive Staples"?

[Daughter of Eve]

Jack. :D

What did Susan find at the well in PC?

[lsipher]

A: A golden chessman, with one ruby eye missing...

Q: What was the name of the King of Archenland in HHB?


- Lou

[Arathornia of Rivendell]

King Lune of Archenland.

What was the name of the horse that took Digory and Polly to the garden to find the Fruit that would save Digory's mother?




(ok so it's easy, it's almost 1am :cool: )

[rosymole]

If you mean just plain old 'horse' then it's strawberry of course, but if you'd prefer the winged version, the Fledge!

What did the children have for pudding when they dine with the beavers in LWW?

[rosymole]

Oh triv is flagging...

[Dead Rain]

[GrayCloak]

lol, Rain how about I make you feel beter and express my own ignorance? ;)

I'll guess bread pudding-but I really have no idea. All I remember them eating was trout and a marmalade roll.

[rosymole]

That's it! The Marmalade Roll was the pud! Hooray-for-Gray! Well done on your 500th post btw!

[Dead Rain]

[GrayCloak]

Oh boy! I guesed right!

Ok, What was the name of the ship that the Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy used to sail in during their reign as Kings and Queens. (hints: It's mentioned in PC) And what was it shaped as?

Someone else take the next question: I'm out of ideas. :D

[Dead Rain]

What was the name of the magician in VDT who was ruler over the Dufflepuds(Duffers, Monopods, whatever you want to call them)?

[Arathornia of Rivendell]

Coriakin, and I don't think it's been asked before. But with 21 pages..... ;)

I'm not sure if that is the right spelling, but if it is, then someone else can take the next question.

[Dead Rain]

yep, that is absolutly correct, Arathornia. haha. and the right spelling too, if my memory serves me correctly.

someone else ask a question..... please!!!!!!

[Dernhelm]

Who sent a message to Tirian by Farsight the eagle?
(well, you asked for a question!)

[Dead Rain]

true, indeed, i did, Dernhelm. haha. but since i have not read the LB.... i cannot say.

[Arathornia of Rivendell]

Was it Roonwit the Centaur? It's been so long since I read LB that I can't exactly remember. :confused:

If it's right, someone else can take the honors. ;) :D

[Dernhelm]

You got it, Arathornia!
Dead Rain, you do intend to read it, don't you? It's good, in fact, it's my favorite!

Here's an easy one: What was the first winged horse's first name?

[Dead Rain]

and yes i DO intend to read it. right after i get it. i'm buying all the books and only have Silver Chair and Last Battle and then Magician's Nephew left. i've already read the MG. but i've only see nthe movie for SC. and have not read LB at all.

[Dernhelm]

Yes!
I'm glad your going to read it!

[rosymole]

In MN can someone name the items in the loft which POlly used to play? Try and do this one from memory...it makes it more fun!

[Dead Rain]

wasn't there a chair or something with a chest and..... i don't remember. man... and that one's my favourite book......

[Dernhelm]

Bottles, bits of old chairs, candles...

[Bitter Milton]

Bottles of Ginger Beer, apples, candles, bits of old chairs, and i think thats it.

[Dragon]

three frenchhens, two turtledoves, and a partridge in a pear tree.
...I have no idea.

[rosymole]

Close Dragon, but sadly no cigar for you- wouldn't that be really really crowded? (not to mention the bird droppings..)!
Milton and Dernhelm nailed it, so lots of cigars to you two, only smoke them if you're old enough tho!

[Dead Rain]

at least i got the chair thing right....

[DryadofLanternWaste]

Can I ask the next question?
What was the name of Aravis' father, and of what region was he Lord?

[rosymole]

Rain- you did very well! *I am hugging you*, you can have a piece of nice French cheese! (it is from me, so you better think it's tasty!!! B xx)

[DryadofLanternWaste]

Can I ask the next question?
What was the name of Aravis' father, and of what region was he Lord?

Impatient little me...
Does anyone know the answer or part of it? Half of it is good enough. *pleads*

-DoLW

If no one knows, can someone ask another question? I would like to expand my Narnian knowledge (and avoid my math homework, lol)

[GrayCloak]

*searches memory for a great deal of time*

Aravis's father was Kidrash Takaan, and, if memory serves (which it often doesn't) he was lord of the provice of Calavar. (Uh, I think that's spelled right) So, did I get it right!?!?!?

And just to keep the triva going:

Who were the four other people to live in the house with the Professor in LWW?

Mrs McReady was one..

[eeyorebrat]

The other three were Ivy, Betty, and Margaret.

At the Tombs of the Anciant Kings

[Dead Rain]

what was the name of the gnome in SC who helped Eustace, Jill, Puddleglum, and Prince Rilian find the "new diggings"?

[therearenoaccidents]

Glog and what happened to Rillihan's sheild after the curse had been broken?

[Dead Rain]

uh.. not sure how to say this... but it had the Lion on it. the red one.... right? it... yeah.

[DryadofLanternWaste]

that's right DR, the shield had been black, but then the device, a red rampant Lion was revealed on it after the encantment was broken.

[Dead Rain]

i'll take the next question. :)

What were the names of the cat and calormene in LB who were plotting evil together? who were they using to carry out their plans(in the begining, at least)?

[Dernhelm]

The Cat was Ginger; the Calormene _____ (I don't know).
And they were useing the Ape, named Shift.

[Dead Rain]

well what you have said is correct.

HINT: the calormene was a Taarken.

anyone else want to take a shot at it, too?

[DryadofLanternWaste]

Rish-something with an "a"
Rishma, Rishba, Rishda maybe?
That looks right, I'll go with Tarkaan Rishda and Ginger the cat.

Next question: In PC what did the Pevensies call Trumpkin as a nickname and what did it stand for?

[Soli_Deo_Gloria]

I'll take stab at this. DFL "Dear Little Friend"?

[Dead Rain]

i can say that that is correct, new friend.

next question:

What is the name of the North-star of Narnia?

Edit: Hint(but no cheating): To help refresh your memories(but again no cheating), this was mentioned in LB.

[DryadofLanternWaste]

DR: I know it what it is and that it was from LB, however I as you so eloquently stated "cheated" hence my answer will not follow here. Is there any chance that we might have another question because it does not seem as if anyone knows the answer to this one? *pleads*

-DoLW

[Dead Rain]

sure sure sure. of course. i suppose....... but.... ok. well you can post the answer if you want to. and then do the next question too!

[Dernhelm]

What was the name of Shasta's father?
*trick question*

Shasta's foster-father was Arsheesh the fishman, and Cor's true father is King Lune of Archenland

oh and the answer to the last one was Spear-Head.

[Dead Rain]

who's gonna do the next question?

[DryadofLanternWaste]

Who was the second Lost Lord that Caspian met in VDT?

[rosymole]

ooh, good Q I can never rememeber the names of all of them! And, I don't know the answer to this answer one, I'm rambling, I'm tired, I'm going
but I might have a little guess...Bern?

[DryadofLanternWaste]

ooh, good Q I can never rememeber the names of all of them! And, I don't know the answer to this answer one, I'm rambling, I'm tired, I'm going
but I might have a little guess...Bern?

Sorry Rosymole, I wouldn't have known either if I hadn't looked it up first, lol
