Eragon Puns

I mean, 1 flawless gem would have the capacity to store energy from a dragon and rider so why put 12 into one belt and not make 12 belts with 1 diamond in them?

Also, Happy New Year in advance :)

Edit: Thank you everyone for your replies, I'll really try to read it this New Year :)

Hello. I wondered why Eragorn needed to look for a belt in Dras Leona after all main events. When in that time he has hundreds of Eldunari. I know that belt was gift from Oromis. That is why it has emotional value for Eragon. Of course, it was also mentally demanding for him when he opened his mind in dying animals for storing energy in it

But i want open a disccusion about how much energy can be stored in a belt compared to power of eldunari. Also i believe that in Naegling can be many more energy.

I know that we will find out in book five but for me i cant see this as a big plot in it. For example someone with Naegling and Beloth Belt as threat.

It could be plot only if Angela have it But who knows.

The sword had a massive amount of energy in it. Just imagine, 12 elves and a rider with his dragon, putting as much energy as possible into it, once a week, for over a hundred years. The Sword would probably have enough energy, to destroy Urubaens entire defences.

I remember that I was originally drawn to Eragon because of the story similarities to Star Wars which I am obsessed with and a forever fan. As I read the Inheritance trilogy I realized it had a lot of unique stuff that separated it from Star Wars and honestly; Eldest is cemented in my mind as the way I learned about the relationship between language and thought. I took linguistics in college because of that book.

Anyway; why didn’t Inheritance turn into a HUGE multi-media franchise?

I’ve always understood it in the way that he will be able to return to visit (since I can’t imagine Eragon not going to Roran’s funeral or other important events) but one day leaving and dying outside of Alagaësia or exploring with Saphira and not returning because maybe Alagaësia has changed so much they can’t / don’t want to go back.

What do you think?

It was not good. It was essentially Star Wars but not good and with dragons. It was family movie night and my dad got to pick the movie. I wanted to watch Terminator (I've never seen it before) but we watched this instead. I feel cheated, bamboozled and flabbergasted. They turned such a good concept into something so unbelievably mediocre. Even though I watched it on Disney +, I feel like I want a refund. I've never read the books, BTW, but now I don't want to.

My school library has eldest so i decided to read it, I'm currently only 60 ish pages in but I already love and understand it very well. I just searched up Eldest today and found out Eragon was the Prequel, Now I'm unsure of what to do since my Library doesn't have it and I already understand and love eldest so i should continue reading it like this? Will it have an actual effect if i do or don't read it?

The game would still be DnD 5e and take place in a homebrew world, but will use lore from Eragon and the Inheritance Cycle. We will not overhaul the rules to completely match the magic of the ancient language but will use some homebrew rules such as Player-Character Dragons! and the option Spell Point variant rule.

Hello everyone 👋 I’ve been making videos on YouTube for a while now but for quite some time I have wanted to make videos to do with Eragon and the Inheritance Cycle in general, my only question is is there any types of videos anyone would specifically want to watch? I haven’t watched ‘that’ movie yet so there’s always a reaction/review to that but I was just wondering if anyone had anything they would like to see in particular (Fan theories, certain characters backstories and other things like that) If there is then please just make sure to let me know and if I decide to use your idea then I will make sure to give you credit. Thanks in advance :)

(Also if this type of post isn’t allowed in this subreddit then please just let me know and I’ll quickly take it down 👍)

Brom says he doesn't know what it means and Eragon never asks any of the elves as far as I can remember, is it ever mentioned what Eragon means in the ancient language? Has it ever been confirmed outside of the books?

I just wanted to take a moment and say how brilliant it was to make the battle against Galbatorix be decided by Eragon’s capacity to feel. He turned his emotions into a weapon which is the one thing Galbatorix couldn’t understand and therefore couldn’t protect against. It fit his character arc perfectly and neither Arya nor Murtagh would have been able to pull that off.

Eragon and Bid’Daum both spent years storing energy in all sorts of gems, once they had enough energy to spare and the proper calculations they flew to the moon. They explored it for weeks finding all sorts of magical stones and translucent plants.

Then they go to the dark side of the moon. Something is there, something dark, sinister, and very very old. The creature is immune to magic and seems to drain them of theirs, the pair uses their experience to fight back but it is useless. They barely escape the dark side of the moon and prepare to fly back to Earth.

But the being follows them into the light.

Hundreds of years later a Dwarf with the help of elven mage constructs a magical telescope to allow him to see the moon more clearly. He peers closely for days and weeks. The dwarf eventually comments to the elf.

“There is the most bizarre crater on the moon, in the center of it there looks to be the skeleton of a dragon!”

I'm listening to audiobooks. I read the first book a long time ago when I was a teenager. And part of the second book. I decided that I wanted to listen to the other books while I work doordash. I've gotten through the third book and I'm halfway through the fourth book but it doesn't seem like everything can be wrapped up in the last half of this book... I mean maybe I'm wrong but it seems like a lot to cram into a half a book. And then I Google how many books there are and it tells me there's five and only shows me four of them.. am I missing a book?

In the climactic conclusion to Eragon by Chris Paolono, Eragon zooms down a slide to battle that master of shadows, the foe of Durza himself:

> The slide was smooth and lacquered wood. With the leather underneath him, he accelerated almost instantly to a frightening speed, the walls blurring in the curve of the slide past pressing him against the wall. Eragon lay completely flat so he would be faster. The air rushed past his helm, making it vibrate like a weathervane in a gal. The trough was too confined for him and he was he was perilously close to falling out. But as long as he kept his arms and legs in he was safe. It was a swift decent, but it still took him 10 minutes to reach the bottom.

Guess this is more of a physics question, but how fast was Eragon likely to have been traveling? Given reasonable assumptions for max achievable velocity in a lacquered wood slide, and some time for a healthy deceleration. Alternatively, how high is Furthern Dur?

Additionally, what’s with those seven words? Did Christopher just tire of that concept or was he really planning all along to save them for a later book? Did battling Galbotorix for the fate of the world not constitute ‘great need’?

So I was rereading the letter from Jeod and one of his sentences about Angela confused me.

“Is she perhaps more akin to the “Inarë,” assuming that what Eragon saw was real and they actually exist?”

What does he mean with that? Did I forget something that important?

Posting for the meme, sorry 😅

This was a question born from another query someone asked yesterday about what trope we wanted to see out of progression fantasy. My answer (parallel progression of pets/familiars and their owners/riders) got responded to with "Eragon" a few times lol.

So now we have to know: is Eragon progression fantasy?

I've listened to plenty of mediocre audiobooks, some with bad translation, some with subpar narrators. I have never once felt the need to return a book to get my credit back. Enter Eragon by Christopher Paolini. Fantastic book, great characters, loved it as a kid and wanted to enjoy it again. 100% the worst narrator voice selection of characters I've ever experienced. Sapphira (a majestic female dragon) sounds like a 90-year-old male turtle whos been smoking for the last few decades. Utterly immersion-breaking and so incredibly awful that I couldn't get past the first few chapters. Very disappointed. Rant over.

I've come to the conclusion that The Wheel of Time show is as big a load of bollocks as the much maligned movie, Eragon. The difference with WoT though is that it has a rabid fanbase of crazed-cancellers ready to block, ban and report any dissenting opinion. Whereas Eragon the movie was pretty much universally hated by non-book-readers and readers alike. I think the difference is that Eragon the movie wasn't pushing any agendas, it was just a trashy adaptation so no crazy loons felt the need to vehemently defend it. But I see the quality of both as pretty much the same overall.

Hey guys I’m planning to write my own spin off story about a new Rider that will take place a few years after TFTWTW. The story will focus around one of the new Riders who gets his egg in the city of Teirm. I already have several plot ideas thought of but I was hoping you guys could write up some stuff you think I should add.

I wanted to ask you in this community. Are there any firmly established images of Eragon's ring, the Gedway Ignasia, and his sword, Brisingr?

Its such a good series. I have been reading these books for yearssssssssssssssssssssss. It saddens me that the movie was so terrible. It could've easily been on par with the harry potter series.

Does anyone know of where I can find an ebook version of this book? I haven't been able to find anything and I can't afford to purchase the physical version. nor would it be as conducive to what I want to do with it.

I'm currently using a program called obsidian to compile as much of the lore and theories surrounding the Inheritance Cycle universe as I can using references from the Wiki and other released Ebooks. So far "Eragon's Guide to Alagaësia" is the only one I haven't been able to find.

Round 1: Eragon isn't allowed to use magic

Round 2: Eragon is allowed to use magic

In both rounds, Eragon is only equipped with Brisingr and can don a simple mail hauberk. He does not have any wards on him. However, for round 2, he may choose to cast wards on himself after the battle has started.

Saphira is unarmoured and likewise has no wards on her.

Of course, Eragon isn't allowed to use the Name of Names, and neither does he have the help of any of the Eldunari.

Both characters are at their end-of-series states, i.e. Eragon has his elven strength/speed/reflexes, while Saphira is at the size that she was at the end of Inheritance.

I think Amazon did itself absolutely no favors with the Wheel of Time. If they really had to make a Show, the Eragon books would have been more their style, and I think they could have done a much better job with them.

I have been looking forward to the show for a long time now. Me finding out about it was actually the final impulse for me to finally start reading the book series and I stuck with it for ten books straight before having to take a break, which has never happened before. But all the expectations just made it that much worse when I watched the first episode a moment ago and I don't think I will be watching any more than that.

Unlike what you might expect, I am not one of those who would come here to rant about how the characters don't look at all how they are supposed to look, are a different race, obviously a different age and so on. I get that it would be extremely hard to get good actors who can properly express their characters AND look like them and that the non-visual aspects of the characters are more important. So what are my gripes?

First of all, the "modernization" of the society of the setting. Egwene and Rand are apparently having sex now, even though they are nowhere near getting married, and that is in an extremely conservative medieval-level agrarian community. At multiple times, Rand being a virgin is important for the character development at several points in the story, but apparently, here he isn't. Abel Cauthon is blatantly cheating on his wife in a small village where everybody knows everything about everybody. He would be a complete pariah in the society described in the books, not even mentioning that there just wouldn't be any "easy" girls for him to sleep with.

Second, the destruction of the characters. I have already talked about Abel cheating on his wife, but that's not the worst of it by far, since he is only a minor character. Much worse is that Matt is suddenly the responsible person in the family, instead of the troubled irresponsible young man who doesn't take anything seriously. Also, he being basically the luckiest person alive somehow loses horribly while gambling. Since those are the two main outward characteristics of Matt, we can basically say that he is not in the show. Instead, there is someone who has the same name, but is a completely different person. Perrin is married. MARRIED. Who cares that he is supposed to have his first romance with Faile. And apparently he already has the battle rage, LONG before we are supposed to get any hints that he is not "normal". And Tam al'Thor, the blademaster who fought off an entire group of Trollocs in the books, gets defeated by a single Trolloc and has to be saved by Rand.

A

He waits until there is only like a week before the event to tell them they need to contribute something.

(I'm pretty sure that if Eragon had the Eldunari with him, then he would have beat Barst easily, so I'm talking about Eragon without Eldunari.)

Obviously, they helped when Eragon's palm tingled and with the Arya dreams.

I think they gave the horses energy during Eragon and Murtagh's rush across the desert to reach the Varden but when do you think they helped?
