Destined - The Elder Scrolls - The Long Road Chapter 10 - The Call of Ancient Blood — Quiz ← Back to Chapter 10 - The Call of Ancient Blood Question 1. What ancient group originally used the hand movements Etain performed before she vanished? Show hint The Champion mentions a location in the south of Tamriel known for the Khajiit people. The Greybeards of High Hrothgar The Greybeards use the power of the Voice (Thu'um), which is a different form of ancient power than the hand exercises described. The Imperial Battlemages of Cyrodiil These mages are powerful, but the text specifically links Etain's movements to a different ancient warrior order. The Dragonguard of Elsweyr — correct answer Kyne's Champion identifies the specific hand exercises as those belonging to this ancient order from Elsweyr. The Dark Brotherhood of Skyrim While this group is known for mystery, their focus is on secret assassinations rather than the ancient transportation magic Etain used. Question 2. How did Etain and her companions enter the city of Whiterun to avoid being seen by the public? Show hint They used a smelly and hidden way that led to the kitchen. Through a secret sewer outlet — correct answer Fanedal guides the group through a hidden sewer path that leads directly into the palace kitchens. Through the main front gates in disguise The group chose to bypass the main entrance entirely to ensure they could reach the Jarl discretely. By using a group invisibility spell Etain has great power, but the group relied on a physical secret path rather than a large-scale cloaking spell. By flying on a dragon Although dragons are a major part of the story, using one to enter the city would have caused the exact attention Etain wanted to avoid. Question 3. Which Daedric Prince did Etain force to bow and show respect during the meeting in Whiterun? Show hint This figure is the leader of the Night Court and is associated with shadows. Meridia Meridia provides healing oils and protection through her acolyte but is not the one confronted at the summit. Azura Azura acts as a supportive guide and storyteller for Etain rather than an adversary who needs to be commanded. Sheogorath This prince of madness is not mentioned in the summit scene where Etain asserts her royal dominance. Nocturnal — correct answer Etain uses her divine authority as the Elder Blood to command Nocturnal to appear and submit. Question 4. What physical evidence of her magical journey did Etain find on her pillow when she woke up? Show hint The item looks exactly like Etain herself and was a gift from a child. A little doll with auburn hair — correct answer A little girl in the void gives Etain this object, which appears in the physical world as proof of their meeting. A glowing star jewel A star jewel is part of Meridia's staff, but it was not the keepsake Etain found after her sleep. A golden dragon scale While Etain is Dragonborn, the item she brought back was a more personal gift from the child she met. A map of the Imperial City Etain's destination is the Imperial City, but her vision focused on spiritual freedom rather than physical navigation. Question 5. Who are Etain's divine parents as revealed in the story? Show hint One is the dragon god of time and the other is a famous saint from history. Akatosh and Saint Alessia — correct answer The text confirms Etain is the daughter of the Father of Time and the first Empress of the Covenant. The Elder Scrolls and the Void These represent the destiny and the place outside time, but they are concepts rather than Etain's mother and father. The Jarl of Whiterun and Jarl Elisif These are mortal leaders who support Etain, but her true lineage is far older and more powerful. Talos and Mara Talos is mentioned as a friend of Etain's father, and Mara is the goddess of love, but they are not her parents. Question 6. What happened to General Tullius after he disrespected Etain at the palace? Show hint He was given simple clothes and some coins before being walked out of the city. He was made a Knight of Stendarr The Knights of Stendarr are faithful protectors, whereas the General was viewed as disloyal and stubborn. He was thrown into the high-security cell The assassin was the one put in the special cell; the General was simply exiled from the palace. He was transformed into a dragon Etain has power, but her actions toward the General were about military discipline and honor rather than magical transformation. He was stripped of his rank and sent away — correct answer Kyne's Champion punishes the General for his disloyalty and bad judgment by removing his weapons and armor. Question 7. What did Etain do to heal the spiritual attacks from the 'dark court'? Show hint The healing process involved light-filled water and a special servant. She used a Shout to scare the darkness away Shouts are for battle; healing her ancient wounds required purity and special potions.

She soaked in a bath blessed by Meridia — correct answer A servant of Meridia uses special oils and a cleansing staff to heal Etain's bleeding scars in the water. She ate a magical piece of braided bread Etain eats bread for normal energy, but it takes powerful divine intervention to heal her royal scars. Question 8. What was the name of Rosenlyn's grandmother who once saved a wounded girl on the road? Show hint Her name is the word for a beautiful plant that blooms. Irileth Irileth is the Housecarl for the Jarl of Whiterun, not the grandmother from Rosenlyn's family story.
