Destined - The Elder Scrolls - The Long Road Chapter 20 - The Crusaders Of The Dawn — Quiz ← Back to Chapter 20 - The Crusaders Of The Dawn Question 1. What special item does Hassarsha give Alea to protect her lungs from the magical dust storms? Show hint Think about something you would wear over your face to breathe safely in a storm. A glass helmet Although glass might provide a barrier, the story specifically describes a mask provided for filtration purposes. A special mask — correct answer The text explains that the mask filters harsh magical dust and cancer-causing spores that could kill someone if inhaled. A magical shield While shields offer protection in battle, they cannot filter microscopic spores or dust from the air. A heavy cloak A cloak might keep someone warm, but it is not designed to filter out dangerous spores from the lungs. Question 2. Which creatures are described as peaceful, floating jellyfish that drift through the sky? Show hint Their name is short and Hassarsha says they are mostly docile. Dragons The story mentions Dragon Priests in passing, but the sky-drifting creatures have a very different, soft appearance. Cliff Racers Cliff Racers are described as aggressive predators with sharp beaks, not peaceful floating creatures. Silt Striders Silt Striders are very tall land-based creatures used for travel, rather than floating jellyfish. Netch — correct answer Hassarsha identifies these docile, jellyfish-like creatures as Netch and notes they are only dangerous if threatened. Question 3. Why do the people living in these harsh lands move their homes deep into the mountains? Show hint The land is full of ash and jagged volcanic peaks that make living on the surface difficult. To avoid the rising ocean tides The rising ocean was a unique event caused by Etain, not a regular problem the locals faced in their daily lives. To be closer to the precious metals The text focuses on survival and protection from the climate rather than mining for wealth. To hide from the Cliff Racers While Cliff Racers are dangerous, the primary reason for moving underground is the extreme environmental conditions. To protect themselves from the extreme weather and ash — correct answer The story mentions that inhabitants moved deep within mountains to shield themselves from the harsh extremes of the volcanic landscape. Question 4. What happens when Etain and Rosenlyn finish their practice exercises in the camp clearing? Show hint The Khajiit companions had tears in their eyes because they saw their ancestors. A storm of ash begins While the land is ash-choked, the specific event following their dance is spiritual rather than environmental. The ghosts of ancient Khajiit warriors appear — correct answer The text describes the spirits of the Khajiit Dragonguard from the Second Era appearing to mirror their movements. The ground collapses into a cave This confuses the camp scene with the later event where Etain collapses structures at the tower. Etain's sword begins to glow red Etain's sword is a focus for her power later, but the immediate result of the exercise was the appearance of ancestors. Question 5. What reason does Khamira give for Silt Striders being found in Morrowind but not in Skyrim? Show hint Skyrim is known for its snow and ice, which is the opposite of the Silt Strider's home. There is no food for them in the north The text specifically highlights temperature and climate rather than food availability. They are too large for the forests Size is not mentioned as the limiting factor for where these creatures can live. They are afraid of the dragons in Skyrim The story does not mention a fear of dragons as the reason for their limited habitat. They do not do well in cold climates — correct answer Khamira explains that Silt Striders are native to the warm rock and ash of Morrowind and cannot survive in the cold of Skyrim. Question 6. What physical toll does Etain face when she uses her great powers? Show hint The Khajiit Fezez mentions how the cost to her human form is very high and life-threatening. She becomes permanently blind While the process is physically damaging, she recovers her health after resting and receiving care. She loses her memory temporarily Etain uses memories to power her magic, but she does not lose her own personal memories. It causes her to bleed and pass out — correct answer The text explains that her human form struggles to contain the power, leading to messy, bloody stress and unconsciousness. She turns into a dragon Etain has the 'Elder Blood' but her physical transformation is not described as turning into a beast. Question 7. How does Etain manage to move so quickly that she seems to vanish instantly? Show hint Hadvar mentions this specific name for her movement technique when talking about their time in Helgen. She uses a teleportation scroll Etain's movements are described as a learned ability or power, not a one-time use item like a scroll. She uses an ability called 'The Way' — correct answer Hadvar explains that Etain uses 'The Way' to move fast enough to disable enemies before others can take a single step. She stops time for everyone else While it looks like she vanishes, the text describes it as moving incredibly fast within the world. She rides a magical horse The travelers use a Silt Strider for long distances, but Etain's personal speed is an internal power. Question 8. What does Etain do to destroy the enemy ships and the bridge at Black Light Tower? Show hint She uses her power to control the water surrounding the tower. She summons an army of ghosts She summoned ghosts earlier by accident, but they were not the force used to destroy the tower area. She causes the ocean to rise suddenly — correct answer Etain evokes the Elder Blood to make the seas surge, swallowing the ships and collapsing the bridge structure. She breathes fire like a dragon Although she has Elder Blood, her method of destruction here involves the environment rather than fire. She uses a heavy catapult The destruction is caused by Etain's magical tonal resonance, not by any man-made machinery. Question 9. What ritual does Etain perform for her friends before she leaves to face the tower? Show hint She uses Rosenlyn's tears to share a divine light with everyone in the circle. She creates a magical barrier around the cave While she does protect them, the ritual described is a personal blessing of light rather than a physical wall. She teaches them all 'The Way' of movement The Way is a specialized power Etain possesses; she does not teach it to the whole group in this scene. She gives them each a piece of her armor Etain needs her armor and equipment for the upcoming task; she shares something more spiritual instead. She blesses them with a touch and a kiss on her finger — correct answer Etain uses Rosenlyn's tears and a kiss on her finger to place 'the light of Alessia' upon her companions for protection. Question 10. At the end of the chapter, where is the group's next destination? Show hint They are heading to a famous place in Skyrim with many, many stairs. The Imperial City The group is moving toward the mountains in Skyrim rather than the capital of the Empire. Back to the Red Mountain They have just left the volcanic areas of Morrowind and are heading toward a different region. High Hrothgar and Ivarstead — correct answer The final section mentions their journey toward the 7,000 stairs of High Hrothgar and the town of Ivarstead. The Black Reach Tower They have already completed their mission at the tower and are now sailing away from it. ← Back to Chapter 20 - The Crusaders Of The Dawn
