Destined - The Elder Scrolls - The Long Road Chapter 07 - The Journey Foretold — Quiz ← Back to Chapter 07 - The Journey Foretold Question 1. What happened to the bandits who tried to attack the girl near the old watchtower? Show hint Think about the elemental magic she used instinctively with her fingers. They were frozen in place by a strong cold wind. — correct answer The story mentions she raised her fingers and a cold wind knocked them out cold and froze them. The Whiterun guards arrived just in time to capture them. The guards were sent for later, after the girl had already left the tower. She defeated them using a silver sword she found in the woods. The bandits specifically noted that she was unarmed before she used her magic. They ran away when they saw her powerful dragon companion. While a dragon is mentioned in her past, she was alone when she encountered these bandits. Question 2. Which divine being made a covenant with Saint Alessia in the books the girl read? Show hint This god is described as the 'King of Spirits' and the 'Dragon God of Time'. Akatosh, the Dragon God of Time — correct answer The text explains that Akatosh made a covenant with Alessia and gave her his heart's blood. Talos, the God of Mankind While a major god in the setting, the specific book 'The Trials of St. Alessia' focuses on the Dragon God. Azura, the Princess of Dawn and Dusk Rosenlyn mentions a temple to Azura, but Akatosh is the one central to the Amulet of Kings story. Mara, the Goddess of Love Mara is mentioned later regarding a temple in Bravil, but she did not make the primary covenant described. Question 3. What is the name of the famous jewelry piece that acts as a token of the Covenant? Show hint It features a Red Diamond in the middle and is a symbol of the Septim line. The Ring of Phynaster This item is not mentioned in the text's discussion of the Imperial bloodline. The Crown of Cyrodiil The text focuses on a wearable gem piece rather than a crown to symbolize the lineage. The Necklace of the Nine While the amulet has gems for the divines, it is specifically called the Amulet of Kings. The Amulet of Kings — correct answer Akatosh gave this item to Alessia and her descendants to keep the Gates of Oblivion closed. Question 4. Why is the girl traveling under the name 'the Breton girl'? Show hint She mentions taking a 'nasty bump' on the back of her head. She belongs to a secret group of mages who never use their names. She displays magic, but she admits she is not a trained mage and is confused by her own powers. She is a spy trying to hide her royal identity from the Thalmor. While she might have a royal identity, her lack of memory is a genuine medical condition, not a cover story. She promised her mother she would never tell anyone who she is. She is actually searching for her mother's identity through the ballad she carries. She has amnesia and cannot remember her real name. — correct answer She explains to Rosenlyn that a bump on the head caused her to forget everything about her identity. Question 5. What did Rosenlyn notice was strange about the girl when she left the campsite? Show hint It made her look as if she was 'another worldly' or like she never existed in that spot. She began to glow with a bright gold light. While she is 'marked' by the divines, her departure was quiet and mysterious rather than bright. She did not leave a single footprint in the snow. — correct answer Rosenlyn observed that it was as if the girl had never been there at all. She turned into a dragon and flew over the mountains. Although dragons are part of the story, the girl walked away on foot despite the lack of tracks. She left behind her magic scroll for Rosenlyn to keep. The girl kept her books and scroll as she continued her journey toward Falkreath. Question 6. Who is the scholar the girl meets at the inn in Falkreath? Show hint He mentions having read about her 'amnesia' condition in books. Hadvar Hadvar is an Imperial soldier from Riverwood who is searching for the girl. Alvor Alvor is a blacksmith from Riverwood who joined the search party. Lucien Flavius — correct answer Lucien introduces himself as a scholar from Cyrodiil who studied in the Imperial City. Dengier of Stuhn Dengier is the former Jarl of Falkreath who spoke to the girl briefly but is not the scholar. Question 7. According to the ballad, what is unique about the 'Elder Blood'? Show hint The poem compares this blood to the ancient scrolls created at the start of the world. It makes the person completely immortal and unable to be hurt. The ballad describes love as a call that 'kills,' suggesting the bloodline is still subject to danger. It remembers things that the Elder Scrolls cannot tell. — correct answer The ballad states that the blood carries a legacy and memories beyond written history. It gives the person the ability to breathe underwater. The bloodline is linked to the divine covenant, not specific physical survival traits like water-breathing. It allows the person to control the minds of dragons. The text mentions she can understand dragons, but not that the blood gives her mental control over them. Question 8. Who gave the search party (Hadvar, Alvor, and Fanedal) a lead on where the girl went? Show hint She is an old woman who lives in a cabin and was called a witch by Hadvar. Anise the Alchemist — correct answer Anise waved Fanedal over and told him the girl headed toward an old campsite. A group of bandits they rescued. The bandits were tied up and did not willingly help the men find her location. The Innkeeper in Falkreath The search party had not yet reached Falkreath when they were at the tower near Anise’s cabin. The Jarl of Whiterun The search party had not yet contacted the Jarl; they were tracking her from Riverwood. Question 9. What secret does Alvor reveal about the armor the girl is wearing? Show hint He mentions a promise made to the girl's mother. His family has been the keeper and protector of it for generations. — correct answer Alvor admits his family promised the girl's mother they would protect her things until she was ready. It was forged by the girl herself using magic at the tower. She was already wearing the 'fancy armor' when she first met the bandits at the tower. It is made of cursed dragon scales that make the wearer go mad. The armor is royal and linked to the First Era, but there is no mention of a curse. It was stolen from the Imperial Palace by bandits. The armor was specially kept by Alvor's family, not stolen. Question 10. What happened to the town of Helgen according to the girl? Show hint The girl mentions she almost had her head chopped off there before a creature attacked. It was taken over by a group of rebellious mages. The girl explicitly blames a dragon for the pile of ash that Helgen became. It was destroyed by a big black dragon and left in ashes. — correct answer She tells Lucien that the dragon destroyed the town to show her how helpless she was. It was flooded when the lake overflowed during the storm. The blizzard caused snow, but the destruction of Helgen was caused by fire and a dragon. The Imperial soldiers moved the entire town to Falkreath. Helgen was a site of total destruction, not a planned relocation. ← Back to Chapter 07 - The Journey Foretold
