Thorn is sworn in to Gablatorix.(sp) For life is what the book said. But is has been awhile since I read the book, so anything could be different.

I always thought that if the person you swore to was dead, it becomes null, unless you swore at their death.

I agree (I also said something simalar to a prevous idea conserning Murtah)
If someone is sworn in for life would the oath not end at death? I've been reading to much old stuff... It's effecting my phrazing...

I think Murtaugh mentioned that once Galby died he and thorn would be free because he knew Murtaugh's true name, thus Galby has complete control over him

True! We dont even know if Murtagh swore anything. Galbatorix just said his name and he had to jump like a trained poodle. Or, that's what this whole name-dominion thing is giving the impression of.

That's what I understand. Durza tried it with Eragon. And iirc Brom explained the true name thing to Eragon toward the begining of Eragon.

Arya did it too, back when Eragon was being tested by the twins. Just shouted the name of silver and it came.
And speaking of the twins, my god, from the moment you first read their names (or apperant lack there of) you knew they were spies.

When they were first introduced as only the Twins, I had a feeling they were up to something. And during the Battle when they didn't respond to Eragon and when they weren't where they were supposed to be, I suspected they were spies. Of course, Durza popping up where they were supposed to be helped that theory.

The thing that bugs me about Eragon I think the most is the world is so simple...
Given a piece of paper, a pencil, and an hour I could come up with an unamed* world that is on par with that of Eragon... Complete with inhabitants *The reson for no names is that I have great trubble comeing up with names if there isn't a joke about it.

My point was that it uses so many overused devises, I could just put a bunch of ideas in a hat and pull out a fanticy world on par with his.
(Minus geography, but that's easy: Just make at least on side of the map on an ocean and put in at least one mounten range and desert) Now rearangeing might be in order to accomadate the story but realy, the world there is not many notable landmarks or origenal ideas. (Maybe he shoulda' made a computer game rather than a book, nobody minds this stuff in a computer game ) The best thing I can say for Eragon is that the story is addicting, I realy want to know what will happen next. (And if I'm right about

Eh, a computer game is more work actually. Even if the book is lacking in areas, it's fun to debate and try to figure out plot twists on the thread here. Hell, some of the stuff we come up with are more interesting plots then what is actually written.

I just realised how similar Eragon is to star wars! (Not realy just realised but this is the first time I remebered to put it down on here.
Now this will be in spoilers due to heavy exploration of the plot.
Which is why I speculate: (In spoilers as I might be right)
That's the thing about ripping off the plot of starwars, anybody who catches it can guess what you're doing next.

Also, the evil emperor is very old and prejudiced against non-humans.
