#5 doesn't deal with the Quintet. 
I don't have any of the answers, though "daoine" (pronounced Dee-Nee) means "man" in Gaelic, and "feer" is used as "very/true/pure." |

It's been such a long time since I have read the Cleric Quintet, that I cannot remember the answers to these questions.
Are you willing to provide some hints, for those of us who had read the books many years ago?.
Also, do you think it would be possible to keep all the 'Quiz' threads in the one scroll from now on?. It would make it alot easier to follow for those scribes that do not visit often. Any ideas Alaundo...

5 is related to the characters from the Cleric Quintet, but isn't directly part of the Quintet yet. Keeping the Quizzes in one place is a good idea. We'd just need an administrator or the like to merge the scrolls.
As for the hints...those will appear on Monday. |

Sure Sage. Now dont get me wrong, I didnt hate how the author had written the character or that I didnt like Ghost in the novel or whatever....I just actually felt pure hatred for such a person for the first time ever in a novel. The cruelty and viciousness of Ghost just really made me grit my teeth whilst reading. R A Salvatore did a fantastic job in creating Ghost. I suppose you could say I loved to hate him (Ghost I mean, not Salvatore! )
Hope that makes it clearer |

Well Met
Why I oughta..... 
Ahem, of course, It is my intention to collate such works to display in a permanant location within Candlekeep.
In addition, we Head Scribes are currently working on an online interactive knowledge quiz for the Realms...... and will be requesting your input shortly (remember, "shortly" to a scribe or sage does not mean tomorrow, nor the day after ) |

Hmm...those hints...
1)Who is the king of the Shilmista elves?
2)This is the source of Ghost's most chilling power. It is two items.
3)The phrase is elvish.
4)He is turned into a zombie, then later magically enhanced.
5)He's a "doo-dad".(Just gave that one away.) |

Courage isn't the lack of fear but rather believing in and doing what you know is right even though fear is present.

Hmm, I thought that was the hardest question.
You're right, anyway, William.
Have you checked the hints a post above yours? #5 is practically given away. |

Another point for William.
Something I forgot earlier: You're on the right track, Rad, just needs a bit more explanation. |

| The reference is in the Chaos Curse, but if you've read In Sylvan Shadows, you should be able to get it...And no, it isn't one of the druids...it's an elf... |

1-Nope, but close.
2-What items make up the Ghearufu, though?
3-That is what it does, but I'm asking for a translation.
4 & 5 are already right. |

Thanks for the explanation Rad, I appreciate it.
I wonder though, do you look at any other characters in FR this way?.

Well whilst a lot of FR characters have intrigued me and left impressions on me, I have never felt actual in-depth feelings of hatred towards a character such as Ghost! Strange really that something like that actually affected me like it did. |

Interesting.
Outside of FR, do you read any other fantasy novel series' (Ravenloft, Dragonlance, Greyhawk etc.) published by WotC?. If so, do any characters from these other series evoke the same feelings as Ghost?.

Well I have a backlog of FR books to read but I do read Ravenloft occasionally. I havent read that many but they sure leave an impression. Spectre of the Black Rose was the last one I read and I LOVED it! I suppose I hated Azrael (especially with regard to the "lift mechanism" (youll know what I mean if youve read it)). But nobody really got to me like Ghost did. Have you any recommendations, Sage? or any characters who you can say have affected you this way?

Well, in the manner that the character of Ghost had affected you, there really is not anyone within the Forgotten Realms that I can say I feel the same way about. Although that is not to say that those feelings are absent completely. One character above all others tends to generate a moderate level of dislike mainly attributed to the way he is usually portrayed. This character is Wulfgar. Since his introduction in the Icewind Dale trilogy, I have never really been 'comfortable' with a barbarian-type novel character...so much to the point that I felt very little emotion when he...
SPOILER FOR "THE LEGACY"
died after his battle with the yochlol. In fact when I first read this part of the book, I was looking forward to the future of the Companions of the Hall minus Wulfgar.
I really cannot explain the full reasoning behind this feeling, other than it being in someway connected to my dislike for the barbarian character class. I have always felt this way, especially when it comes to barbarian type novel characters...and the FR series is not alone in this, this feeling even transcends the WotC 'world of novels'.
As for recommendations...well, which Ravenloft novels have you read?.

Well obviously the Realms takes top priority in my reading schedule, but ive read:
Vampire of the Mists
Knight of the Black Rose
Spectre of the Black Rose
Tapestry of Dark Souls
There are a good few more that im anxious to read (I hear Heart of Midnight is very good...likened to Black Wolf of the Sembia Series), however, there was a period in Ravenloft fiction which went too much towards adaptations of classic gothic horror figures, such as Frankenstein and Jekkyl and Hyde which didnt appear to me. |
