| Ecamane Truesilver12-04-03, 03:29 PM | This is a quiz for all of the FR Sages on the Boards (a category which includes all of you, though you may not think so). This quiz is basically a fun mental excercise and to see how much you know off the top of your head. Note that this quiz draws from both 2nd and 3rd Edition canon, as well as from novels. There is a prize, however. The first person to have all of the correct answers in one post will receive a brand-new epic spell crafted by myself, the First High Mage of Silverymoon. Now, the prize might be of little use to you, but that's not the main point of the quiz anyway. It is to test your knowledge. Enjoy! 1) What is Volothamp Geddarm's nickname? 2) If you look through the artifact known as The Guardian's Tear, an epic battle between what two forces is playing out? 3) Arcane spellcasters native to Aglarond tend to focus on what two schools of magic? 4) What momentous event occurred in the Year of Freedom's Friends? 5) Give the name of Queen Amlaruil's late husband. 6) What are Coronal Eltargrim Irithyl's 2nd Edition stats (alignment, race, classes and levels)? 7) The Citadel of Mists is ruled over by whom? 8) Before she ascended to godhood, Mystra was a mortal wizard known as Midnight. What was her true name? 9) What year was Khelben "Blackstaff" Arunsun born? 10) What is the name of the underwater mythal city? 11) The Masked One is currently an apprentice to whom? 12) The lich Raerlin would have destroyed Elminster in his own tower in Shadowdale if not for whom? 13) Alustriel Silverhand was saved from death at Sammaster's hands by what two archmages? 14) Zinzerena is an alias for what deity? 15) The Twisted Tower once had a different name as the temple of a deity. What was its name and what deity was it sacred to? 16) Who and what guards the undervaults of Candlekeep? 17) A bite from Klauth, the great wyrm red dragon, does how much damage? 18) What two item creation feats do Mystic Wanderers get for free? 19) Where did Qilue Veladorn get her Blast Scepter from? 20) What year did the Srinshee officially disappear with The Ruler's Blade of Myth Drannor? 21) Eilistraee once shot and almost killed her father with an arrow. How did this happen? 22) What is the name of Triel Baenre's son and what is he? 23) How many ioun stones float around Larloch's head? 24) Over the course of his life, how many deities has Fzoul Chembryl served? Name them. 25) Who murdered Rinda, the scribe who penned The Cyrinishad? 26) What was the name of King Azoun IV's deceased son? 27) Shond Tharovin once possessed what powerful artifact? 28) How many times did Halaster Blackcloak attempt to rescue Elminster from the clutches of Nergal? 29) Name the deities Orcus managed to slay with the power of the Last Word. 30) As of 1372, how old is the Simbul? |

| Ecamane Truesilver12-04-03, 05:12 PM | So far, good tries, all. Fredegar, you get a hamster. Its name is Billy. :D Selgaunt, very good, but #'s 11 and 25 are incorrect. Crust, you're on the right track with #6, but the levels are off. You have some right ideas on the others, but you should put down a definitive answer. As for the difficulty of the test, let's just say I will be very suprised if someone gets them correct in one shot. |

| Murray Leeder12-04-03, 06:03 PM | Originally posted by Ecamane Truesilver 24) Over the course of his life, how many deities has Fzoul Chembryl served? Name them. Does Mask count? |
| Sephyrill12-04-03, 06:43 PM | I think, Fzoul Chembril never really "served" Cyric, so it would be only Bane and Xvim 21) Wasn't it at the tide of the war of Araushnee and her kin against the rest of the Seldarine? She somehow enchanted either Eilistraees bow or Eilistraee, so when she was aiming at an enemy the arrow hit her father instead. Sehanine knew of this plan, but was held imprisoned, if I remember right 23) too many ;) I believe it must be more than 40. Would get dizzy, if I had so many Ioun stones flying around my head all the time 29) not only that Illithid deity. He also killed Primus, god of the Modrons, and disguised himself as Primus - which caused the Modron March (bu that would be more or less Planescape :) ) |
