Answer: One who is dedicated..one who serves (In Shienar)

[Mystica]

Sorry Talya, that's not the correct answer, though you are looking in the right direction.

[Elgee]

The Shatayan is like the housekeeper, but with much more power, if I recall correctly.

They are in charge of all the other servants, but have so much rank that it would be offensive to offer them a tip or payment for their services. You don't want to make them mad, cause they can make your life hell during your stay if they chose.

[Ryrin]

A Housekeeper?  

[Ryrin]

I'm here now, representing.

[Mystica]

Elgee is correct (and Claire too). The Shatayan is the term for the Head House Servant (the Head Housekeeper) in the borderlands.
Even a Queen would walk lightly around her, that is the extent of her power. The Shambayan is the male equivalent (though the Shatayan would probably argue about who has the higher status).

[Mystica]

the next question will go up in my afternoon (it's not 10am here aproximately), to give the people in america a better chance to join in.

[Talya]

But that was the meaning of the word, so it has to be just as correct *pouts*

[Mystica]

sorry Talya, all my resources speak of it meaning the Head Servant/Housekeeper as explained above. I've googled the word and didn't find any result with your explanation.

(the two main ones aside from the books themselves, which is primarily where I got my questions out of.)

I promise, I'm not biased in any way.

 

 

7. Who redeems himself just before the Horn is blown for the first time?
 

[Daruya]

Ingtar!

[Ryrin]

Yay, Dar!!!

[Talya]

Go Dar..

 

Myst I thought you meant the meaning if the word. I can't find the link now where it said it...not quibbling though...I know I'm just as right lol

 

[Mystica]

lol Tal

 

Point Team No-Name!

[Mystica]

8. What was the colour of Perrin’s eyes before he became a wolfbrother?

[Elaevia]

Brown?

[Daruya]

Team 2....we still need a name!

[Ryrin]

I thought we were Team Two Rivers?

[Ryrin]

Dark Brown

[Talya]

Yes, As Ryrin said...She knows

 

I do try Myst...hehe

[Mystica]

Yup! Brown. Via was first.

 

Ah sorry guys, I missed the name. I'll add that, you Two Rivers Rats ;)

 

Point Duckies.

 

 

9. How does Perrin first meet the wolves?

[Talya]

He was with Morraine and Egwene when they met Elyas who introduced him to the wolf pack.

[Mystica]

ok, Talya love. Moirraine wasn't with him. They got seperated after they visited Shagar Logoth.

The answer I was looking for was that Elyas introduced him to the wolves, so I'm going to count it correct.

 

Point to the River Rats.

 

 

10. Where does Loial meet Rand the first time? (be specific... the country, city, etc isn't enough)

 

 

Keep in mind: the full correct answer gets a point. Emphasis on 'full'. And yes, I get to decide. That's what makes me fabulous. *flips hair*

[Elgee]

At Basel Gill's inn, The Queen's Blessing (I think) in Caemlyn, Andor. He and Mat had just arrived there on their long journey after getting separated from the others first at Shadar Logoth (??) and then from Tom at Whitebridge. Mat is sick (the knife thing) and doesn't want to go out, and Rand asked for a quiet place away from other peple (can't remember exactly why now ... Whitecloaks?). One of the staff referred him to the Inn's library, which is where he finds Loial.

 

Man, you think you know every last name and incident, and then you suddenly can't spell stuff.
