Word: Zoryas
Reader	Definition 	Correct Answer	Chosen Answer
Shelly	Zoryas are songs sung by a herald to announce the birth of a first born heir to a noble house. These were discussed in Byzantian versions of Greek myths which were thought to be lost until very recently. 	 	
Glenn 	Zoryas are twelve immortal warriors who fight for the gods against lesser enemies, but there’s a twist: even though they are immortal they can be killed but if they’re killed they are immediately replaced in their position by mortals who were just killed in battle. So there’s always 12 of them, but they may not be the same people.	 	
Kelly 	Zoryas are two goddesses who watch over a doomsday hound. In some cultures these are presented as the morning star and the evening star in human shape. In other cultures, instead of watching over the doomsday hound they are the keepers of the sun and moon. 	X 	X

Word: Inyalowda
Reader	Definition 	Correct Answer	Chosen Answer	Notes
David 	He’s an ancestor of a certain famous Star Wars character. He was a Jedi Master back in the High Republic as featured in. Charles Soule’s new novel. 	 	 	
Julia 	Inyalowda is a person hailing from the inner planets such as Earth or Mars. Meaning inner as in closer around the sun - in a shorter orbit. 	X 	X 	From the Expanse
Monty 	Inyalowda is a word that John Leguizamo appears to have made up during the filming of Super Mario Bros. There are a few times when Bob Hoskins (who is less Italian but also more Italian because he’s at least doing kind of an accent) does kind of a “fangoul” noise and then every time under his breath you can see John Leguizamo go “yeah you inyalowdas“. It’s just one of the many weird things that happens during Super Mario Bros.

== Round 5 - Superhero Smash-Ups ==
I have taken two movies, one movie is a superhero movie, one movie is not a superhero movie. I have combined the titles and I have given you a plot that is the sun of the combined movies. 
For example, the plot “A group of southern women share their trials and tribulations raising a boy from another planet” the answer would be “Man of Steel Magnolias”.
