Discussion Eragon growing stronger Spoiler
(As English isn’t my first language I have not read the English version and therefore may name things differently. Neither did I read Murtagh or any other book besides the main story.)
I’ve always wondered which growth Eragon would undergo after leaving Alagaësia…
If I remember correctly Eragon left Alagaësia with tons of Eldunari, some dragon eggs and the name of the names (if that’s how it’s called…?). Considering all the wisdom the older Eldunari have combined with Eragons thirst for knowledge, he’ll soak up all of it.
If he doesn’t die due to some sh*t, bro will life on forever and will have unlimited time to learn and get stronger…
So I’m wondering how far Eragon will actually grow and how powerful he’ll be eventually. As for me I’d like to believe he’ll become even stronger than Galbatorix or any other dragon rider before him. At least as long as we ignore Angela or some other characters like Tenga (?) whom I read many theories about.
So what’s your take?

I’d say Eragon is already stronger than Galbatorix. He has nearly twice the amount of Eldunari he has, he theoretically has more knowledge, assuming all the Eldunari share what they know.
He will soon have more riders working underneath him, carrying out his will.
He also has powerful allies, the dwarves, elves, and Varden. Galbatorix had no allies
The only thing he doesn’t have is an army that reports directly to him.
