Question

Wizards called the Solomonari controlled the weather and performed this associated practice after training underground for 7 years in Romanian mythology. This practice is used against the Thread in a fantasy series set on Pern; that series by Anne McCaffrey was one of the earliest (15[1])to introduce the modern mytheme of this practice. In Journey to the West, Tang Sanzeng is technically performing this practice together with (15[1])a prince (-5[2])who is being punished for breaking a pearl. In one fantasy series, peacekeepers who performed this practice became common after Du Fyrn Skulblaka, a bitter conflict with elves in (*) Alagaësia. In another series, this practice originated (10[1])through the dark magic of a people who worshiped deities like Syrax. For 10 points, in opposition to “slaying” motifs like Sigurd or Beowulf, contemporary fantasies often feature what practice, performed by Eragon and the Targaryen Dynasty? ■END■ (10[2])
