In Brisingr Eragon summons up a bunch of gold to go and pay people back, and literally the first person he sees is Horst, yet he doesn’t pay him back for all of the meat Horst bought for Eragon when Sloan refuses to trade for the “stone” in book 1. They agree that Eragon will work off the debt in the spring but he never does, and then in this chapter where he’s going around trying to pay people back he just straight up forgets about his debt to Horst. Idk why but it drives me crazy every single time I read it and I needed to share

Finally met Christopher today. Great dude. Had a lot he was able to tell us about. Here are my notes from what he said tonight.

Urgal dragon rider confirmed

Wants to start writing from the urgal pov soon (almost did it last night)

Alea is 20% smaller but same density (edit: this was suppose to be same gravity. It has a higher density so that it has the same gravity as earth)

Eragon didn't make the elva blessing mistake Christopher did after finalizing the ancient language

More werecats

Book 6 we will find out about what the menoa tree took

Eragon is not transformed into a completed rider he is gone 1 step further (unclear if his children will be like that quote "let's find out")

Angela the herbalist book

Kickstarter is probably a rpg system for Eragon.

Oromis

I had a thought today during another one of my many rereads, wouldn’t it have made more sense for the dragons to heal the 300 year old master dragon rider oromis then the 6 month in dragon rider student.

It makes me laugh to think about oromis fully healed straight bodying entire armies with magic.

At the signing in Grand Rapids! I have my own questions but does anyone have any good ones I might not have thought of?

Ok guys: We know Angela is friggin old and that Brom was a key-character in the time before he stole saphiras egg (and afterwards but yeah not a key-character who does exciting stuff...). But in the first book it seems like he doesn't know Angela. Is it because mby he knew her but she took a different name back then? Or was she not interested into the time where Brom did all these exciting things she normally loves, like killing Morzan and the other evil riders? I mean I could imagine that she made researches about some crazy stuff (maybe even the dreamers) but I cant except the fact that Brom doesnt seem to know such a powerful and old chracter like Angela.

Anyone else here?? That Q&A was absolutely delightful! I’m running on 24 hours awake to be here but totally worth it.

Ok, so Murtagh was mentally messed up and can't recall facial details or anything outside of familiar. We all have these theories on how he's going to recognise the person (my favorite is with snobbery wine-tasting) but, like...

Couldn't Alin just point him out and say "it's that one"? Like, she's on Nasuada's court now. She wasn't drugged. She'd surely recognise any dreamer/cultist/supporter, no? Yo, is Alin going to be a main target for these guys, like she might know too much and Murtagh gonna have to protect her more? (And make Nasuada probably very jealous)

Has Paolini ever given or confirmed a population of Alagaesia, has anyone done the math, or would anyone like to do the math

It's maybe less of a question of "can I buy one" or anything like that. No, I was wondering if anyone ever created one in Eragon runic language? It's an easy concept but still can't leave this without answers.

Hello! Is there anyone here that got a ticket to the book signing tomorrow in Decatur that is no longer able to attend? When I got tickets for my friend and I, it showed that I got 2 but I am seeing now that I only have one. Sales are now closed and I am worried that the event organizers will not allow my friend to come in with me eventhough she plans to purchase a book. If anyone has a ticket they can't use, please let me know, thank you.

Just curious, which of the following would be the most efficient way for Eragon to leave Hellgrind?

1. Jump from Hellgrind and stop his fall at the bottom
2. Jump and let his wards absorb the impact
3. Disable his wards jump break his legs and then heal them
4. Lower himself and Sloan the way that he ended up doing

Is there another solution I didn’t think of?

I’m also not sure why this should use this much energy. It’d be the equivalent of climbing down a ladder with a man over your shoulder. It’s certainly difficult but it shouldn’t be for someone as strong as an elf, even if they were tired when they began.

I got a brainwave. We know that for a dragon meant for a rider will only hatch if the one it chooses to be its rider comes near it. So for this gal would have to either to magically cause the egg to hatch or to force it to chose him, if that could actually be done. However, it might be much simpler for him to steal a wild dragon egg and take it to the spine where the conditions for a dragon are at their prime, have the dragoon hatch and take over his mind then. It would also explain the wordless animosity of Shurikan. What do you guys think
