Eragon - Page 6

Very true, though the likelyhood of you being correct is rather puny... And I haven't read "A Wizard of Earthsea" so I wouldnt know.

(Note: I'm not exactly thinking I'm right here but for the sake of argument - and a bit of fun...)

(Note2: But I could be right...

)

No I think you are, IIRC if you didn't know you were lying. or thought you were telling the truth you could still speak in ancient.

Yeah, that's what I was trying to say

The last sane person · 03-02-2007, 02:07 PM

But even so, that is one large mistake to be making. And Galbatorix as it was said in the books, knew the minds, motives and activities of his forsworn to the dot on the 'i' and the cross on the 't'.

I'm pretty sure if Galbatorix informed Murtagh on the down low, it would be true... Oh!!

That brings up a new question.... Did he know of Eragon even before this all happened? It is looking like he did, he knew of Murtagh, and pretty much all the info about it. Its seeming like he would have known about Eragon.

me9996 · 03-02-2007, 07:17 PM

If I remember corectly they only found out when they were told who Eragon said his mother was.

And your saying Gabblirox would know of the activitys of the forsworn also backs up the crackpot theory. If he did know about Eragon he would have told what's his name not let him figure it out for himself
(Espeshaly if he finds Eragon as his enemy)

But then again brom knew, that's why he was in the same town as Eragon...

But he could have found out about Eragon by hearsay

The last sane person · 03-04-2007, 12:33 AM

I have a theory of my own....

Morzan and Brom fought over Eragon's mum. It's obvious male rivalry. I wonder if Brom would have known about Murtagh, since he obviously knew Eragon's mother?

And I dont understand your second paragraph. Names please. And second, it says in the book that Galbatorix knew the minds, desires and actions of his servents. I'd find the quote if I weren't so lazy about it.

On that note, what if Murtagh and Eragon were only half brothers. I have had this feeling since reading Eragon the Brom was Eragon's father.

So what if Selina had a relationship with Brom and in order to hide her pregnacy went to her brother to raise the child. Galby knew about the pregancy but assumed it was Morzan's. Which leaves the question of did Brom know?

I have my own theory on who the next Rider:

I think it will be Roran. You see he knew what a dragon in flight sounded like, which brings me to the conclusion that Roran is not orginally from Carvahall. Which would mean one of two things (A) Garrow wasn't Roran's father (which is unlikely) or (B) Garrow was a Rider.

me9996 · 03-05-2007, 12:58 PM

Intresting theory Ayra,

but when did it say that Roran knew what dragonwings sounded like?

And dragonrideing doesn't seem to be nessesaraly herretitary(Sorry about my spelling)

Anyway, just something a little different, I think the cover for the next book will likely be:

Green.
I say this for the following resons:
1: They have allready covered the other primary colors of light for book covers

2: They have not even mentioned a green dragon and people usaly think of dragons as green.

3: They are going to have a new rider, that much is evedent.

***Earniel*** · 03-05-2007, 02:22 PM

Except that the third primary colour aside from blue and red is... yellow.

But green would be a nice cover colour too.

The last sane person · 03-05-2007, 05:04 PM

Strange...this thread ate my post....

I think it will be green, after all that cripple dragon is gold, so the yellow color is taken. What would be awesome would be a white dragon. Ice breath or something.

Acalewia · 03-05-2007, 06:16 PM

I think its mentioned somewhere in Eldest the next dragon is green

It's in the book. toward the end when Roran and the villagers are arriving by ship.

That's the closest I could do from memory.

me9996 · 03-05-2007, 08:41 PM

Chances are that he heard Sapphira in the first place and was never able to figure out what he had heard untill out comes Eragon...

Allthough that is an interesting point...

Saphira wasn't around during Roran's childhood.

The last sane person · 03-05-2007, 10:18 PM

Or! Maybe it was just a bloober on Christopher's part. Kinda like the Starwars bloober of Leia remembering bits about her mom, though Lucas later admited it was a foible.

So what? S.E. Hinton wrote The Outsiders when she was 16, and it's a terrific book.

Just because he's 17 doesn't mean he should publish some crap he wrote on the back of a math test or whatever.

I'm having a go at Eragon, not you!

If you were say 16-20 and suddenly trust from your home into a fantacy world of extreme danger leading an entire village...

After that wouldn't you consider the time before that your childhood?

The last sane person · 03-06-2007, 02:04 PM

Not really. No. Saphira never went near the house when she could fly, and Roran was one of those people who had little desire to go near the Spine either. Whats more is that Saphira, even with her super dragon sense, never had seen Roran even from afar, which was why she was so keen on meeting him after the battle.

Acalewia · 03-10-2007, 09:39 PM

My point exactly, Shah

The last sane person · 03-10-2007, 09:44 PM

Hah, tag team. Yeah, I dunno, it seems to be a family business, this dragon rider lark. Who knows, maybe Roran's sweet heart'll learn how too.

me9996 · 03-11-2007, 05:07 PM

Nah, Rorans on the other side of the family so his supposed relation to Eragon is irrelevent to dragonrideing -exept that Eragon is like a brother to him-

I'm thinking Ayra has something to do with the last dragon... Or perhaps thorn is redeemed...
