Eragon Book Three Predictions (Book 4 Predictions coming soon!)The book will be coming out September 23, 2008!
Today I thought that I would occasionally do book predictions, not only report on books. One of my favorite series is Eragon. The third book should be coming out in maybe a year. Here are some things I think will happen.
Since I now have over 1000 posts and read both books again, I have new ideas. My old list is below.
1. The Green Dragon Rider is Arya because in Deathwatch in Eragon, he sees a male and female boarding a ship with dragons in the sky.It also would make sense because there hasn't been a female rider mentioned, and there hasn't been a new elf rider for a while. A reason that many people say is that Arya also has green magic, and magic color is the same as dragon color. The color of magic means nothing until you have bonded with the dragon.
2.Oromis and Glaeder will die. They are old and Oromis said that he was lucky to live to train Eragon. They are both crippled as well.
3. Roran. He will save Katrina and get married. He will become ruler of Alagaesia because he has blood of the first human king. He is also a natural leader.
4.Eragon will probably bring someone back from the dead through the vault of souls. The other prediction of Solembum's may have already passed. Eragon got his elf-like strength from under the tree. Some of you may say "It was not totaly beneath the tree," but it doesn't have to be under the roots. It neither says that the weapon is a physical weapon.
5.Murtagh somehow turns good and marries Nasuada. They both like each other.
6. Elva has an important role.
7. Saphira and the green dragon mate.
Just To Clear Some Things Up.
1.The next Dragon is Green because CP said so already.
2.The new book does have Glaeder on the cover.
3. CP did not copy Lord of the Rings and Star Wars, many books/movies have similar plots.
4.The title is Brisingr.
5.This is NOT the last book.
Old Predictions
1. Eragon and Roran get Katrina and defeat the Ra 'zak.
2. The Varden get the green egg.
3. Roran hatches the green egg.
4. Eragon completes his training with Oromis.
5. Eragon and Roran get Rider Swords.
6. The two things Solumbum tells Eragon come true.
7. Murtagh MIGHT turn good.
8. Galbatorix is defeated.
Please tell me what you think will happen.
Eragon Book vs. Movie is also a post by me.
Shurtugal.com has many predictions

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 1630 Newer› Newest»i think that Either that eragon is going to bring Arya or brom back because if saphira dies he will be bonded and he cant escape without saphira.He will probaly get the sword and the new dragon rider is probly Nauswada because she is royalty and she is around the same age as eragon and after Gallabtrix is destroyed she will not have a job. I think that orik will be the dwarf king. And another way Gallobitrix is power full is because he knows eragon's real name. remember when brom said that his name had a lot of power
no one ever thinks that nasuda or wat ever will be the next rider i do. And as for who eragon will love, (I personally like arya alot and hope they get together but) Maybe it will be nasuda i mean in a wierd way she is like royalty but oh well. And the next rider could be arya but i think if the race of dragons depends on it it will be the person he falls in love with!
I really thought that the predictions were good. But some of them just didn't seem to make that much sense to me like: the people who keep saying that Eragon will fall in love with the rider that rides the dragona that Saphira mates with, thats just nonsense. Also why is it that so many people think that you have to have the blood of a rider to be a rider. I don't even remember hearing about that at all in the books. The dragon chooses you , not o look I get it just because I'm the son of a Rider. Doesn't seem right. I was thinking perhaps its Roran to be the next rider but I'm hoping its an elf. Two of the eggs have already went to humans.
I think all your theories are great, just an idea to ponder, maybe he already got his weapon from the tree, the night of the blood oath, i think that he has the soul of the old eragon, and because he his now half elf and half human/half old rider half new that he will open the volt of souls and gain more power, i don't think the head will come back to life; where are there body's? i think that he will gain knowledge, and this is power. just my thoughts
It dosn't have to be the true name of the ancient language. But how about Galabatorix's true name? It would give Eragon complete power over him.
I think Nasuada is the new rider. I also think it'll be called Empire. Next,I think someone is gonna die,maybe Arya. There is going to be new info on Murtagh's trainer,Tornac. In an interveiw, Paloini said that clues are in the 2 previous books.
Se onr sverdar sitja hvass!
My cousin is 8 i got her eragon for her birthday she can't even put it down
I really want Arya and eragon to get together. theyd be so cute together and I doon't really know who else could REALLY be his "love of noble birth." CP also talked about eragon's other family members being involved. Is that saying we'll find out that eragon's got family that's an elf or something like that?
anyone think orik is next rider? some people think so. not me by the way
Hey all. I think that all that will happen. but i think that arya will be the next rider. I also think that a colony of dragons will be found. After galbotorix is defeated the elves will return to their home across the sea with eragon and arya. When Galbatorix is defeated Murtagh will be released from his oths in the anciant Language. Remeber he is not a bad guy throo choice. Galbotorix made him take binding oaths. Galbotorix's and murtagh's semmingly unlimited store of energy for magic comes from all the riders sould he imprisoned in his mind and they draw upon their energy. The vault of souls is galbatorix's mind. The weapon under the menoa tree means when he needs it he can draw upon the menoa tree energy.
I think that the next egg will hatch for Arya (green egg, Eragons first premonition pg. 81 book one) and that Roran will be crowned the next king of Alagaesia (the villagers reaction to him book 2)
Orik cant be the next rider. Dwarves were never part of the Blodrhen
Lets look beyond the obvious. An author likes to shock their readers. I think that a lot of things are unseen and there will be many suprises.
I do agree that the ancient language will come in to play. Especially Eragon's true name, which if he learns, will give him more power but also the threat of another gaining power over him.
I also agree that Murtagh will somehow turn good at the last second and he will not live to see the end of the story.
Solembum's predictions are very important in the third book, no doubt.
I do not think that the next rider will be revealed in the third book if it is than it will probably be someone unexpected, Nasuada possibly?
It says that Eragon will sail away...hmmm sounds a lot like Lord of the Rings right? (Eragon -Aragorn and Arya - Arwyn?) Thats what the elves did so if he sails away its most likely with elves...including Arya. I would like to see the two together but I do not know what could come in the story it is a tight situation even if they werent at war.
Eragon's training with Oromis (sp)is going to be cut short, there isnt enough time and I believe it will never be finished because he will die somehow protecting Eragon and his dragon will also go down with him.
The book certainly has a good plot and some things are easy to see (did anyone else think Murtagh and Eragon were brothers before reading it?) but others are hidden. The book is supposed to be out in March 2007!
whoever said Brom is Eragons father was brilliant its the only way that Blagdens words make any sense.
When i reread it i speant ten minutes looking at i from various angles none of which made senses until i read this.
Also I think that the third book will be called Empire. it has to be a 6 letter word begining with E and Empire was the only sensible word when we ran it through a friends spellchecker though we had a bit of a laugh when it came up with Earwig
i think whosamiwachit will make Eragons new blade. I believe that what she said (note near the beggining of their conversation she says "Why are we speaking this foul language") that she was telling an unintentional lie. What she swore to do was never give another rider one of her blades.
please comment
Whoever said that the next rider couldn't be Arya because she carried around Saphiras egg and it would have hatched for her, thats bullocks.
Dragons have pesonalities like humans so they would chose a like mind, theirs nothing to say that a rider wasn't presented hundreds of eggs before one hatched for him. Also Arya has been given a similar training to a Rider which is the only way a rider could come to full power quickly enough to fight Galbatorix before he and Murtagh become to powerful.
Why people questioning the fact that Arya isnt the person that Angela Prophesies as Eragons 'Love of noble birth'. Its pretty clear that Eragon loves her and i Quote Angela's Whole prediction of love "An epic Romance is in your future, extraordinary, as the moon indicates-for that is a magical symbol-and strong enough to outlast empires. I cannot say if this passion will end happily, but your love is of noble birth and heritage. She is powerful(Arya), wise(Arya), and beautiful beyond compare"
hey!
(okay a warning: Youd better not read all of this because its difficult to see my logic and its just my humble oppinion anyway. I just posted this because there might be mad ppl like me on the web^^)
I think Arya and eragon and arya HAVE TO come together!!!!! they totally should because i dont think CP would or at least should make eragon unhappy for the rest of his life, because the 3rd one is the last oneBUHUHUHUHUH! I also think arya is goingto be the new rider because the dragon egg is green and her magic is green too! Or roran might be the new rider because he shares blood with eragon and murtagh.
Probably there are going to be more dragons involved, cause only two dragons can not rebuild the entire dragon race and they probably wont die out! I realy dont think eragon is going to kill himself by trying to bring someone back from the dead and i also dont think eragon is going to die and even if he does return from the dead, that would be much to far-fetched.I dont think orik or Nasuada is the new rider and i also dont think eragon has an elf in his family!!! welll i was just reading all these great komments and needed to put a bit of my spirit (mustard^^) to this. Well cya ppl
i also think that roran will be the next rider and the last egg is going to hetch for him and the dragon is going to be green. he will kill galbatorix but someone is going to die but i hope its not true. the two things that solembum said will come true but at the very end of the book. eragon and roran are going to save katrina but thy will not manage to kill the razaks. And after they save katrina the third dragion will hetch for him. they will both complete the training with oromis. at the end there will be a big battle the biggest in the history of Algaesia and with the help of roran and eragon the vardens with nasuada are giong to defeat and kill galbatorix. Saphira and rorans dragon are going to save the dragons
so that they dont get extinct and arya is going to tell eragon that after all this stuff about killing galbatorix that she loves him and they get married and their son is going to be a rider on one of saphiras children dragons.
i hope the third book is going to come out soon.
I think that the 3rd book will be awesome. Respect to the person who thought that Brom was Eragon's father and for figuring out Blagden's riddle, but there is no way he is Eragons GRANDfather - Morzan and Brom were the same age!!! Orik won't be the new Rider, as dwarves were not at the peace treaty between elves and the Riders. I think that Nasuada's leadership of the Varden will be challenged, and also that she and Roran will be an item during Book 3. Arya or Saphira will die, and Eragon will bring the one who dies back from the dead by fulfilling Solembum's prediction that he will go to the Rock of Kuthian and speak his name to open the Vault of Souls. I think that the reason Murtagh had such power on the Burning Plains at the end of Eldest over Eragon and Saphira (when he holds them in mid-air) is because Galbatorix has discovered how to use energy from a fire, eg, to create his spells, and has passed it on to Murtagh. I think that Murtagh and Thorn will die, and so will Galbatorix. Also, i think that Eragon will be wounded in Book 3 and will leave Alagaesia to find the Grey Folk who can heal him. Also, Eragon will get the weapon from under the Menoa Tree, but why does everyone think that it is going to be a sword? (Personally i do think that it is goint to be a blue or white sword) Why can't the weapon be a bow and arrow, or a dagger or an axe? Who's to say? Let's wait for Paolini to unveil.
In book 3 I think that Saphira will die because that will send him into a rage causing him to kill Galbatorix. I think Roran will become the new rider.
wow. a lot of the people here dont really know what they're talking about. you dont have to be related to a rider to become one (i saw a lot of that kind of talk while reading-saying that roran cant possible be the new rider cause he's not related to morzan through blood). also, i think that in the 3rd book the new rider will be roran (its so obvious), and also that (like some other people said) someone important will die (possible ayra, definatly not saphira) and eragon wil bring them back to life. and in regard to the ancient language's name, eragon will meet one of the gray folk (maybe, but this is a little out there) and learn it and use it to become the most powerful magic user ever cause if u know the true name of something you have complete control over it, and knowing the true name of the ancient language wil allow eragon to control it completly.
I think its obvious that eragon will kkill gaborbotix but i dought roran or araya would be the next dragon rider. eragon and roran are cusouins but ther blood is not the same really. Araya and eragon will probaly get hooked but i think if eragon has a son or daughter they might be the next dragon rider.
Hey all these are great and i agree with some of them but some things i dont.
like the fact that brom could be eragons father. and i think that the word of power that brom gave to eragon will play some sort of role in eragon defeating galbatorix as for the egg, well that would be a tough one i might have to say maybe um... Well i know that roran may not get it or maybe not even arya. They are already have a big enough part. and i dont think that murtag will be able to help eragon not even after he kills galbatorix because of all the oths that were made and you can not go against oths. i am not sure about the weapon to be found under the menoa tree be cause as some one said before it may not be broms because he lost it.
it is posible that galbatorix is storinb all his energy in a huge gem of some sort and that is how he has gotten so powerful. eragon may break it and thus dispersing all his power. or not idk.
I have read botth books at least 10 or 15 times each and i can not for the life of me think of who the next rider will be. and i didnt hmmm... any way yeah. Oh a though to stop any ideas from spreading is that eragon and arya do not have to fall in love just because whats her face said so because if you did not notice she said that i think eragon would love that of a noble women i am not sure thaat she said any thing about him being loved back. any way that is all i got for now.
GOOD IDEAS THOUGH.
I think that nasuada will become the rider and she also mighht be eragons sister because it never really says who wher mother ways and it might fit it... just a possiblitity!
just brain storming here but I think Trianna will be the next rider becuse on page 66 Eragon askes Trianna if she wants to go to lunch.
i think that brom is morzans yonger brother. why becaus when selena left morzan she met brom and had eragorn . when brom went to get the egg she whent to her bnrothers house staed with her brother, and had eragorn then returned to mozan. befor brom left he told her what to name the child. when brom came to see salen after he killed morzan she was gone but she some how toled some one that thay should tell brom if he returnd were eragorn was. so brom went to carnival to look after eragorn.
no offense i think galabatorix will kill everyone... i honestly think he will.
has no body considered vanir as a rider? Or Ahjid's second in command, Jomundur? It seems unlikey but you may as well cast a random guess out there. cant hurt. And why not one of the werecats?
i belive that the green egg will hatch for arya, foreshadowing in the book indicates this, and tthen saphira will fall for the green sragon making eragon love arya and vive versa, becasue like saphira sayed if they wher to fall for some one then the other will be effected.
In my opinion I think Murtagh and Eragon will fight, and lose for the second time only to be saved by Roran or someone of importance maybe the Varden,then he will go to the Stone of K gain more power and figure out how to defeat Galbatorix. have an epic fight with Murtagh kill him with the sudden aid of the new rider then Galbatorix will show up a nice long speech about how everything happened, a nice ending fight the end.
Eragon will, no matter what, leave Alagasia forever at the end because it's his destiny, Angela predicted it. Also Arya might might not marry Eragon. Angela predicted a romance with royalty but she didn't know how it would turn out.
Does enyone besides me care for what Brom said to Eragon before he died. Some seven words of power Brom said to him. Those words could very well at the climax of book three.
ya know this is just a thought but if paolini said that the identity of the new rider was hinted in the second AND first book, then it couldnt be roran. the first book barely talked about roran at all so it couldnt be him also if the riders magic was the same color as their dragons tint the new dragon is emerald and aryas magic is emerald SHE is the new rider
Whoever said
u guys should look at this site. the guy gives much evidence http://www.shurtugal.com/?id=trilogy/book3/theories
and whoever listens should know that most things on that website are not proof. They are lots of educated guesses made by fans like you and me and the people who run shurtugal website. The last time that I checked, there was no actuall "proof". Sorry if I put your spirits down.
All of the comments that I read sounded awesome! I havn't updated in a long time (since october) and there are a tomn of comments! Make sure to check out thee rest of my page too. At the top of the make a comment page, there is a button that says, Book Talk, that links to my blog.
I think that Eragon and Roran go to Ellesmera so Eragon can finish his training. Then they are going to leave to kill the Ra'zac and rescue Katrina when Eragon asks Oromis and Gleadr about the menoa tree and the rock of Kuthian. Oromis tells Eragon that the roots of the menoa tree could mean the origin of it and that the families of the elf woman that killed the young elf guy and the young elf guy are the families that have the only other two rider swords, Broms and a green one. Eragon gets Brom's sword and then Oromis tells him that the Rock of Kuthian is Helgrind. Eragon and Roran go there to kill the Ra'zac and rescue Katrina. Then Eragon speaks his name to open the vault of souls. In the vault are the souls of past riders and all of the people that the Ra'zac have killed which give power to Galbatorix and, in turn, Murtagh.Eragon then has the power to defeat Galbatorix.
Arya is the last rider and falls in love with Eragon, then they leave for what reson I don't know.
Roran is the new king because he rules Carvahall and in Carvahall is king Palencar's decsendants (sp)
Just like Anonymous said at 1:30 PM I also think that the name of the ancient language will play an important roll. I think it will do one of two things. Either Eragon will learn the name of the language and change the word for ones real name, which would release Murtagh from the forced control from Galbatorix (hence forth known as Galby). This would also make Eragon more powerful than Galby. If Eragon doesn't think to release Murtagh from Galby's control using the name of the ancient language to change the word for one's real name (because let's face it Eragon can be a little slow) then Eragon will still have more power than Galby because he can alter the language at will and after he defeats Galby then Murtagh will be released. Where does he learn it? On a scroll written that is under the tree. The scroll could be a weapon if that information is on it.
I do like what Anonymous said at 1:39 PM (this Anonymous guy is smart). That Eragon might bring someone back to life, although I doubt it.
Galby will die.
Oromis will defiantly die.
Shruikan I think might stay alive since he is forced by Galby too. Once Galby is dead then he will be freed.
Arya and Eragon will bring it on, I say this because the prophecy in the first book that said he would have romance in his future with someone that was drop-dead gorgeous and was from noble birth.
I like the entry by Anonymous at 8:18 PM saying that someone close to Eragon would die and that he would go free them from the the rock of kuthian.
I also would like to believe that the elves will realize that they are wrong about religion, but I doubt that will happen.
I don't have any idea who will be the next rider but I don't think it will be Roran or Arya or Katrina (though she is the most likely of the three if you ask me).
I like what Anonymous said at 4:51PM.
I just thought of this.
See, Glaedr said to Eragon that when the body is destroyed, so is the soul. Now think about this; BROM'S BODY IS PRESERVED IN THE CRYSTAL TOMB THAT SAPHIRA CREATED!!!
So Eragon will bring Brom back from the dead and Brom shall rise again!
Also, the sword "under the roots of the menoa tree" is Brom's and its not under the tree but with the girl's family (the girl that sung herself into the tree) and Eragon will ask for it and they will give it to him.
i totally agree with those who say brom is eragons father. remember in book 1- angela says how brom was doomed to fail at all of his tasks but one. "he loved a woman but it was her undoing", and when brom dies, eragon writes on his tomb "he was like a father, to me."
Ironic, hey. also theres all those riddles blagden says, and why would selena run away to carvahall when she was pregnant with eragon unless it wasn't morzans child?! (well there are other reasons to that than that, but that one makes more sense)
Ok here's what I think....
1. The next rider could very well be Roran. He plays a major part in the story, is Eragon's cousin, and has to save Katrina somehow. And also in a Christopher Paolini interview I found somewhere. It said that you could tell woh the next rider would be in the 2nd book.
2. It could also be Arya. They most likely could fall in love. That would make perfect sense. But Arya does not love Eragon or at least so far she doesnt...
3. Another theory of mine is that the new rider could possibly be Nasuada. Since Arya and Eragon do not quite yet love each other. That leaves another women for Eragon to love, Nasuada. I mean, she is human, she is the leader of the Varden, she is very powerful. But who knows, it could very well be anyone. I'll keep researching guys!
It's obvious arya is the green rider, eragon talks to menoa tree it opens itsn roots to reveal brom's old sword,therewill be a huge battle and galbatorix arrives, murtagh turns good again because when eragon kills galbatorix it releases him from his oath,saphira mates with green dragon, eragon and arya fall in luv and leave alagaesea, roran is the new king of alagaesea, dragons flourish, Maybe orik might become a dragon rider MAYBE..............................
the weapon under the Menoa tree is either the sword of his father (Brom) or the sword of the first Eragon.
i believe that there are wild dragons living in the spine and are very fierce that's why half galbatorix's forces were lost when they went into the spine.thats why no one likes the spine. and thats why eragon loves the spine. and eragon will go to find them on saphira and they decided to help the varden.
all you people are talking about arya becoming the next rider. I don't think she will, because wasn't she one of the ones who were handling the only eggs left? Saphira's, Thorn's, and that other one? And she lost them to galbatorix? I don't know, i just doubt it will arya, because i swear i remember the book saying something about all the elves touching those eggs? and they didn't hatch? i think that roran will become king, eragon will finish his training with oromis, he will kill galbatorix and then murtagh and shruikan will come out from his spells/vows and then katrina will somehow touch the last egg and become the next rider because she has all the makings of a rider.
CP really doesn't have too much of a choice about what he can and cant do in the third book. If he tried to put in too many twists, the book would probably either be like 5000 pages or really bad. So I think the plotline is probably going to be pretty obvious. Arya gets the egg. Arya and Eragon fall in love. Together they go and defeat Galbatorix. Murtagh(sp) some how turns good. Roran is king of Algaeisia and Arya and Eragon leave on a boat together. Some of the story such as the prophecy aboout the Menoa tree and teh vault of souls is still unclear but other than that, I think this is what's going to happen. And have you guys noticed that Eragon and Arya's relationship mirrors relationship of the guy and girl in "Just the Girl" by The Click 5 exactly?
I think that Elva will hatch the next dragon egg and is Eragon's neice, just think about it she is the only one EVER to have a gedwey ignasia and not be a dragon rider, and is mentioned in all the books so far.
i think the next book will be great and that galabotrix will be defeated-but naucea will become the king..sorry queen. i hope the book comes out soon cause im DIEING to read this book-hurry up chris!
i know that in the third book will start off with eragon talking to menoa tree the tree opens its roots he finds his fathers sword (broms sword) he rides with roran to helgrind to find the razacs lair but its hidden by magic from galbatorix but he ends up relizing that then goes into helgrind fights the razac with roran speaks his name to the vault of souls talks to brom or eragon the first (i forget)finds the green egg. only to find out katrina is at ureaban he delivers the egg to the varden it hatches for ayra thats all i know so far...
Ok, so here is what i think will happen:
Early in the third book, Eragon, Arya, and some other elves and dwarves will make an attempt to steal the third and final egg from Galbatorix. They will succeed, but some important character will die during the chase in Uru'baen because Galbatorix knew that they would come and set a trap. Perhaps Oromis, knowing that he will die soon anyway from his mysterious illness, will die with Glaedr trying to give Eragon and company a little more time to escape with the egg, which they do. The egg will then hatch for Arya or someone else, as long as it's a girl, because the dragon egg holds a boy dragon and will fall in love with Saphira, and thus Eragon will fall in love with the girl rider. At the end of the book, this is who he will leave with on that silver ship, arm in arm, and their two dragons will be circling overhead. The beginning, in my opinion, would be good because then a reader would be hooked to find out who the egg hatches for and if the person will be willing to assist Eragon in defeating Galbatorix. It would also have that kind of jumpstart, heart-thumping beginning that the second book had when Ajihad died and Murtagh was kidnapped, you know? I also think that, on a totally unrelated subject, Galbatorix is somehow harnessing the power of souls in the vault of souls, like oromis told Eragon how you could draw energy and power from other life to do spells. Eragon, at the end, will open the vault of souls, which is kind of like a place to hold dead people's souls and trap them in there instead of letting all that power go to waste, which Galbatorix has done. Eragon will speak his true name to open the vault of souls, and they (the souls) will side with him in defeating Galbatorix because he imprisoned them and wouldn't let their souls move on to the final resting place. He also used them against their will to kill many people. Thus, the more people killed by Galbatorix, the more souls in the vault of souls, and that is why Galbatorix is able to grow stronger every year. Murtagh also has learned to use the power in the vault of souls for magic, too. This is why, when Eragon went into Murtaghs mind when they fought on the burning plains, he felt that cavernous mind with all those whispers begging for release. These were all the souls Murtagh drew upon for power.
Feel free to make comments :)
ok, here is how i think it will happen...
Roran will become the ruler of Alagaesia because of the mention that Plancar Valley has royal blood and also from the fact that Roran is an extremely able leader, noticed by all.
Nasuada or Arya (most likely Arya) will be the next rider of the dragon in the green egg. Thus fulfilling Eragon's vision of 2 dragons, 2 noble and tall people, boarding a ship, never to return to Alagaesia again.
The secret weapon under the Menoa tree are the ants. It's pretty obvious really.
Arya will die, or murtagh, and Eragon will bring back their soul after feeling completely lost and powerless, and bring them back.
Galbatorix will die because Murtagh will break his oath. killing him. That woulud explain the vault of souls.
Yup, thats pretty much how i see it. Also, Oromis will die. And Eragon's name has a lot to do with him leading the riders. Maybe at the end, he and ARya will go back to the land that he originated from, seeking to do... i have no idea. lol
hey guys i am new but i think this a great idea and all my friends agree with me
i am not sure if any1 else has wrote this as i have not read this entire blog
i think that katrina
(Roans girlfriend) will hatch the new egg(green was it(kool i didnt know that) while she has been captured by the ra'zac after they have probably taken her 2 Galbatorix for questioning on Eragon
neway thx 4 listening
i think eragon mite get hooked with araya or nasuda they are both princesses but i dont think katrina will become a dragon rider(this is a wild guess) but i think ok i dont kno but still
katrina. she wasnt born into magic . this is also a wild guess but i think eragon and katrina mite be bro and sis both of there moms dissapered and the bad wizard that brom killed i forgot his name but he didnt like having kids so he could have given her to sloan because sloan had connections with the razac which means that he probly had connections with galborotix. feel free to make comments about this
this is really far fetched but it could be true...
OK i think the wepon under the menoa tree mite ethir be a dragon egg or it could be like a portal to go to differnt parts of the world and eragon will go thrugh it and get help and they will kill galborotix feel free to make comments
Considering that at the end of Eldest Murtagh took Zar'roc from Eragon, If you rmeebr back in the book that warning that Solembum gave to Eragont o look underneath the Menoa Tree when in need of a weapon, I think Ormois will help Eragon get his new blade from the tree also I think Roran and Eragon might steal the the last egg and Roran becomes the new Rider.
i dont know if u guys have said this but if the 7 words brom said to eragon befor he died where the name for the ancient langwige or galbatorix true name if that was wot they were why didnt brom use them or tell someone else them so they could use them? i write this because some one said that the 7 words brom said to eragon befor he died could be the name for the ancient langwige or galbatorix name true
Hey all.... I just wanted to say that I know what will happen in the very beginning of the third book. It is in the sneek peek for book three in the end of the Eldest Limited edition. It says that Eragon and Roran go to the Raz-aks lair. Thanks for reading!
eragon loves arya dosnt he and so in the end he might get married to her, thats a might. roran marries katrina. eragon will probable lose someone close to him like roran as his cousin arya or saphirah so he goes to the rock of krthrin and they come back to life. i think that eragons mother, father, brom, garrow will come back to life in the end. oh and eragon finds out the name of the anchient language
i disagree with anoyomous about one thing, katrina is obviously saved in the beginning because i read in an special edition eldest what happens like in eragon it tells you a bit about what happened in the beginning and in the special edition eldest roran, eragon and saphirah went to the razacs hiding place.
In solumbbumb's prophacy thingy, the vault of souls is galbatoric's source of power and is located in Heldrind. the ra-zac kill the slaves and put the soul in the vault. they get the flesh while galbatorix will get the power of the soul! This is how he steadly grew in power over the years. brom is eragon's dad also. all of the whithe raven's rambleings point to it as he never knew morzan, so , in the first riddle, he had to mean brom! and the part about "roots of the menoa tree", this usage of roots is actualy mening "desendants" or "ansestors".eragon's new weapon will be from broms other relatives (wich are the "roots" of the menoa tree) will be blue to fit his dragon. brom's family is one of the two that oromus saied had rider's swords, brom gave it to them before he founded the varden or after his wife (selena or whatever) died. then brom took up resadence in carvahall to look after eragon, their baby. then, eragon will fall in love with area again and she will become the new rider withe her "green" eyes. the bond between eragon and her will bring their dragons togeather and saphira will make the race anew at the place that eragon and area will sail to in the end. i'll write as soon as i re-read the books again. (about 2-3 weeks) by now!!! Ben
hey just going to add my predictions.
ok i think roran will be the next rider as if u think about it it makes sense as the raven predicted eragon and his brother are two but eragon considers roran his brother so that covers that.
i think the first riders sword is hidden within the tree ( which is prob blue) as the first eragon was an elf
as to the love business i think saphira either mates with the green dragon or saphira and eragon leave in search of other dragons
arya will reveil her true feeling to eragon once gallotrix is gone
i like the brom angle but i don't think he is his father. i think the last thing brom said was words of power in the acient language
i think either roran or the varden leader will lead the people and that the elves leave ( bit lord of the rings for me)
and eragons brother will not attack eragon and free once gallotrix is gone of his oaths
orik will become king
so quick quries
1. who said u had to have riders blood in order to be a rider?
2. the dragon picks the rider
3. i don't think the rider will be somone new as the writter stated he had already laid out ideas in previous books as to who the new rider is
4. the partner has to like the person as they will be bonded to that person for along time so i think roran being the rider is fine as it doesn't say they love the person ( i don't think
lol ranted to long so hope u like my ideas
I think that when galbatorix is defeated, murtagh will continue on to help eragon.
And I think roran will be the new rider. =D
Ok I think people Are reading too into this. first the Egg, Yes the most likely color is green (jade A stone that seems likely), but there are other colors to, Ranbow like mintioned in the begining, or brown, or any other color. Th vualt thing that is were he will find the name of the anchent language. and i think the rest is about right except that that lady that would never make another sword will make one and put it under the singing tree screatly
I think that the weapon Eragon will find in the roots of the huge tree (Meona) will be the dagger that the elf used to murder.
i think that galbatrox is gaining power by postponing using energy to do spells.
I think that 'the vault of souls' will help Eragon bring people back from the dead.
I also think that To open the vault. Eragon will have to find his true name. Wich might be the same as the first riders. He might find this ot from Angelina.
OK! I sa'll some people wrote that Vanir will be the next rider! I wish he could but he can't because he wasn't in the 1st book and christopher paolini said the new rider would be in the 1st and 2nd books!
it's pretty obvious the green dragon's rider will be Arya because the first book, chapter 13 (Deathwatch)2 dragons fly over a boat leaving Alagaesia, and a man is screaming on the shore the figures on the boat are all tall signifying that they are riders, Eragons fortune telling Angela said that Eragon would leave Alagaesia for ever. Now the man on the beach is Roran and is screaming because he lost his cousin who he was very close to. the seconed rider is an elf because only they now the lands far away and Arya is an elf and Angela said that he who'd fall in love with roalty. Arya is an elf princes!!!
Arya will not, not, be a rider. because she handled Saphira for how long, was it 20 years that she handled saphira as she was an egg. I seriously doubt that it will be Arya. She is also old.
Anyone know when the next book comes out,Gosh.
It is getting frustrating seeing people theories on the weapon under the menoa tree and the vault of souls. There SHOULD NOT be any theries at all if you have read the book.
In the book solembum the werecat says "Listen closely and I will tell you two things. When the time comes and you need a weapon, look under the roots of the Menoa tree. Then, when all seems lost and you power insufficient, go to the rock of Kuthian and speak you name to open the vault of souls".
In other words since Eragon has no sword anymore he has to get the weapon from the Menoa tree, then he has to go speak his name (probably his secreat name) and open the vault of souls and he will gain the power,(probably a gift from the riders of old), to defeat Galbatorix and maybe rescue Murtagh.
This is a bit of a scary thought, but has anyone else considered the possibility that Elva might be the next rider?
OK this is like my 3rd comment on this
i think arya dosn't want to be with eragon because
A she is way to OLD for him
B if u remember in the first book, in the ptrface how araya had 2 elf bodyguards and how they both died, in the second book eragon asks wat hapened and he wanted to kno wat the elfs were like and araya could only talk about 1 elf, i think she loved the other elf and she dosn't want to love anyone else now becuase he died
This is just a thougt and eragon mite get hooked with nasuda
feel free to make any comments
yeah i think so that galbatorix is going to die. i also think that arya will love eragon after galbatorix dies.plus that arya is the next rider.
i read it 200 times
I think Eragon will die
ok guys, it is obvious that Arya gets hitched with eragon because of eragons dream two dragons in the sky and remember angela's prophecy? eragon has to be on the ship leaving the land forever
now unless eragon is gay who else is born into noble heritage and dont say nasuada because she became noble after her father became leader of Varden she was already born then
also, arya is most likely to be next rider because she is female so she and eragon can get married through the connection with dragons and she already is a master at swordsmanship and magic so she wouldnt need much training
Plus, the last egg is green as CP said himself and Arya's magic is green
On a different note i think that nasuada will die and roran will become king of alagaesia for two reasons
1) He is a direct descendent o King Palancar as eragon learned because most people in Palancar valley are descendents of king palancar
2) He will be the guy screaming on the shore at the end because eragon is leaving and if eragon and nasuada are done who else can rule?
i think the new rider will be the girl who eragon tried to bless but ended up cursing. ah... i'd hate to do charity 24/7. poor poor girl.
I have a prediction, though I have not read the entire postings of predictions here, so I dare not say it is original. However it is my belief that the subtle clues that foretell of the news that Brom had been secretly been courting Eragon's mother Selena will come to much greater light, and in the end it will be Brom that was his father. Which would go a long way toward explaining why he settled in Carvahall.
i,ve read eragon and eldest over 6 times each so i think the previous will happen: 1;eragon kills the ra'zak
2;eragon finishes his training with oromis
3;eragon and arya are assighind to retrieve the last dragon egg
4;arya and eragon will settle terms and remain friends
5;islandi will die in battle and arya will become the elven queen
6;while traveling eragon will meet a girl who dicovers saphira, her and eragon fall in love, etc.
7;eragon will recieve a sword
8;murtag and eragon clash swords in a magnificent battle
9;solembum's words come into play
10;eragon with the help of the elves, dwarves, varden, and anybody willing, will confront the empire
11;eragon and saphira battle galbatorix and lose, but escape
12;the last egg will hatch for arya who will be queen so she will determine anew elven ruler
13;eragon and saphira will discover a small clan of dragons in the Beor mountains
14;with the hlp of the dragons an arya eragon and saphira will discover thename of the ancient language
15;eragon will confront galbatorix,win,free murtag from his oath, and save algasea
16;eragon willthen leave algaesea with the elves and the girl he fell in love with
No one we know will become the next rider because, If you all remember we find out that the final dragon is a boy. So how can we know that if it has not hatched yet , and if it has hatched it will have a rider.
Since i have stated mt theories on what words of power Brom said to Eragon before he died. I would like to hear about your theories so please make a comment on them. Those words may vary well be the key winning the war.
i think that eragon and murtagh will use magic together to bring brom back to life
In case you all forgot you dont have to have a certain blood to be a rider rememeber it said in boook one that the dragon chooses the rider because they hatch at the best times.
hey my prediction? welll i was reading all of your comments on the third dragon (green) going to either arya or vanir and I was thinking... Arya wouldnt be so bad. Thats a good choice, not because of her magic color but just its almost feels right. But if it is arya then what the hell theres no flair. And Roran no way. He just doesnt cut it. You dont need blood its just doesnt seem right.. Roran the DragonRider and all... I think it should be vanir because then it would be great. because eragon and vanir are rivals and its also someone who was under our nose in the 2nd book... its just a prediction but i like it. LOL Vanir The DragonRider...
i think that the vault of kuthain is in the razacks lair helgrind and Eragon would never get hooked up with nausuada i think that she is gonna die in the final battle
Hello again, I just thought of putting this out there for all you guyz to read before you start making predictions...
1) The dragon CHOOSES not some other thing like rider's blood.
2) Color Doesnt Matter
3) Third Rider Has To Be A Girl since two dragons are in the air in that dream
4) Either Arya or Nasuada No doubt (personally Arya)
5) No Dwarf Riders!
6) Grey Folk Are Almost Extinct Because they used mostly all their energy to make Gramarye... so no contact with them
7) Gramarye is not the TRUE name of magic so no using that
8) The King DOES NOT know Eragon's Name (Eragon doesnt even know) and if the king did all hope is lost!
9) I'Ll get back to you if i find anything else BUT... CP is full of so many surprises so dont expect too much.
Maybe Orik will get the last egg.Remember what orik said on the second book?No dwarf can be a rider.What if Orik got chosen by the last egg and become a great king?That could happen.If Orik does'nt get it then i'd go either arya /roran
Just something to think about, Murtagh was good to begin with. His bandit ways in book 1 were a result of his situation, not a testament to his caracter. And remember, he is under the control of Galbatorix because of the power of the old language and not of his free will... I believe he will eventualy turn to his brothers side.
i knnow for fact that the third book will be called baledr. look in the back of eldest limited edition. it show the cover of the book and the name. it also give you a sneak peek at the first chapter. i usualy never right thing on the internet like reviews and stuff. but i had to. it just got so anoying. every body kept on saying it was going to be empire because they think that it has to start with an E and have six letters in the title. but i'm telling you it was just a coincidence. so stop saying that it's going to be called empire.
i think that murtagh will either turn good and help defeat galbatorix or will die at the hands of eragon. i agree with all you guys that someone will die and be either brought back from the dead or someone will atempt to. personaly, i think it will be roran.
well i reckon it could b Nasuada that eragon falls for because if u recall in the first book it is said that no1 knows were Nasuada or ajihad came from
and eragons future is to leave alagaesia forever so wot if he runs off with Nasuada??????epic love maybe and she might get the other dragon as well bringing them closer together.and yea no clue wot the vault of souls is for maybe to give eragon the advantage over galbatorix in magic by using souls or something...also he prob will find a blue riders sword under that tree lol thats pretty much wot i think plus all thats obvious.eg.galbatorix is eventually destroyed.well there is my predictions anyway.AND who realized eragons name is almost dragon with the first letter of eragon being "e" which is the next letter in the alphabet to "d" for dragon lmao just realized if that was a tad slow...lol
ok, so far this seems like the consesus, Roran becomes the next king of Algaesia due to royal blood(not the next rider, that would leave an imbalance between the amount of dragons the elves have and the varden have); The green egg (probably green because elves are green tree people things) hatches for arya who eventually falls in love with eragon and both of them leave on some boats to allow humans to govern themselves; it is way to early to develop theories about what the vault of souls and "wepon in the tree" prophecy might play in the story; i find it unlikely that brom was eragon's father; it also seems unlikely that eragon would have to bring somebody back from the dead however if find the eragon bringing back somebody from death via vault of souls more likey than eragon being broms son... (even if he did need to bring somebody back from the dead i have a very hard time imagining it to be saphira or arya, possibly roran or katrina though); the book will be awesome... i look forward to it.
all thoughs sound good but i remember some were in the book they say what two tribes started the tree so maybe the roots could mean like the roots of the families of members of the original tribe
I think that Arya will ne the next rider because of Eragon's dream in the first Book where he see's two figures, a man and a woman, standing on a shore about to board a departing ship with two dragons circling in the sky. Eragon will also seek the land where humans originated and try to find other dragons to bolster the species.
brom is eragon's father. the riddles of Blagden have a huge part to do with it. also, when Brom dies in eragon, saphira is told many things by him, "some of which i won't speak of except if necessary" she knows that eragon is not mature enough yet to know, and again, it happens in eldest. on pg 656. "do you think he didnt tell me this because he was afraid that i might emulate morzan, like murtagh has?
"of course not"
"how can u be so certain?
she lifted her eyes and refused to meet his eyes or answer.
Arya is the next rider -- whoever said she wont be because she handled saphira for so long, is completely incorrect!
each dragon is different, and hatches for only 1 person -- IT'S rider. its not mechanical. just because u have the potential to be a rider doesnt mean that any dragon egg will hatch for you!
cIoDuIgOhT
Eragon will defeat Galbatorix because that is a gimmie. His training with Oromis will not be completed for some reason.
Roran will replace Galbatorix and marry Katrina, he has the power to make people follow him, remember? Murtagh can't.. niether can Eragon, Riders cannot rule. Though Eragon Pledged to Nasuada, it doesn't mean that he will rule. And if Roran is to become King, He can't be the next rider if there is another egg, nor Orik because he is a dwarf. But you know what it would be nice though if he would become the next rider. But I think it will be Arya.
"Everyone’s biggest question. First, will it be good or evil? That the green dragon and his rider will be on the good side is expected; if the green dragon were evil, the Varden wouldn’t stand a chance. There are several candidates for the third rider, so here’s the list, in order from least likely to most likely:
Orik
The least likely candidate I’ve seen proposed to be the rider of the green dragon. People say he should be the last rider because then there would be the human Murtagh, the "elf" Eragon, and then the dwarf Orik. Supporting this theory is Orik’s apparent lack of fear when it comes to flying and the presence of Saphira herself.
However, there is significant evidence against the theory, namely the fact that dwarves were not included in the spell that links the dragons to elves and humans, which is what allows human and elf riders to exist. You could say that just as humans were added to the spell, dwarves could be, as well. And while that is certainly possible, you must look at the likelihood of it actually happening. First of all, what cause would there be to add dwarves to the spell in the first place? No reason immediately presents itself. Along with this, why would the dwarves wish to be added to the spell? A vast majority of them have no interest in even the slightest contact with dragons, and they (or at least a few of them) are aware that the elves and humans are on the decline because of their connection to the dragons, so why would the dwarves want to be connected and thus possibly seal their own fate of declining?
Therefore, Orik will most likely not be the rider of the green dragon.
Elva
Only slightly more likely than Orik for the simple reason that she’s human, and thus it’s currently possible for her to become a rider. Evidence for her comes first in the form of the dragon-mark Saphira placed on her forehead, and second from Eragon’s blessing, which should bring her to do great things in her life.
However, even in her present, magically enhanced state, she is quite simply too young to be a rider, much less a useful one. Sure, maybe she could use her magic to make herself old enough, but you must keep in mind Eragon’s promise to Angela: that he would remove the blessing/curse that he placed over her. And once he removes the magic from her, she will once again be an infant child, and that would mean that she will have no contact with the dragon egg.
So maybe, if there are more dragon eggs in the future, Elva will become a rider later in life. But it’s incredibly unlikely that she will be the rider the green dragon.
A character that has yet to be introduced
It’s always possible that CP could introduce a new character in book three and have that character be the rider of the green dragon. However, this is highly unlikely because both of our present riders of the new generation, Eragon and Murtagh, were introduced in the first book and had already received significant character development by the time they were riders. If a new character were to become the rider of the green dragon with substantially less development than the other candidates… I’m sure that many of us would be less than satisfied.
So, it’s unlikely that any newly introduced character will be the rider of the green dragon.
Roran
Now we reach the group of four characters who are the most likely to become the rider of the green dragon. The main evidence people suggest for him is that, as Murtagh and Eragon apparently have the blood of a rider in them, Roran, who they claim also has the blood of a rider in him, should be one as well. This is wrong, however, as Roran is only related to Morzan (the rider he is supposedly getting blood from) because of Selena’s marriage to Morzan, and therefore does not have any blood relation to the man.
Counting against Roran is first the fact that he is human and second the fact that he is male. More on why being male counts against him will come later, but here is a good place to address why being a human is bad for his chances of being the rider of the green dragon. Now, Eragon spent about four months training with Brom and about ten months training with Oromis, and even after all that time and training, Murtagh was still able to beat him, with apparent ease. For Roran to be effective in battle, he would likely have to train for even longer that, and that’s an amount of time that the Varden just doesn’t have in this war. It’s likely that the Empire could win the war in that amount of time.
So, it’s possible but not probable that Roran will be the rider of the green dragon.
Nasuada
The third most likely choice for the rider of the green dragon. Nasuada is likely for several reasons: first, she’s female. Presently every rider that’s alive is male, a rather unbalanced situation. That makes the market for a female rider that much more open. Second, she’s the leader of the Varden, and being in such an important position, she’d likely have access to the egg, once stolen, before all members of the Varden aside from those who do the actual stealing. A third point some people bring up is that she could be related to Eragon and Murtagh (highly unlikely, borderline impossible—more on that in a moment), and because they are both riders, she should be as well.
The main argument against Nasuada is the simple fact that she’s human, as is the case with Roran above. But along with that, it must be considered that Nasuada commands the Varden’s armies. The Varden cannot afford for their army to be without a commander for such a length of time.
Now, to address why she cannot be related to Murtagh or Eragon: if she’s related to them, it’s obviously through Selena, as we know her father was Ajihad. However, it must be considered that, first of all, Nasuada and Murtagh are approximately the same age. Yes, I know that twins are possible, but how does a woman manage to have two children by two different fathers growing in her womb at the same time? Answer: it’s impossible. There’s more evidence, but after that explanation there’s really no need to elaborate. Nasuada is not at all related to Eragon and Murtagh.
So, it’s possible but not probable that Nasuada will be the rider of the green dragon.
Vanir
Vanir is likely for the same reason that Nasuada is unlikely: he is an elf. The fact that he is an elf means that he is already trained in the ways of magic, and that means that, were he to become the rider of the green dragon, he would need significantly less training than any human candidate.
Against Vanir is the fact that he is male. Not that this last dragon is sexist, but as Saphira has told Eragon, whoever she or Eragon loves will affect the feelings of the other. So if Saphira falls in love with the green dragon (which is very likely—more on that later), her love for the green dragon would cause Eragon to develop feelings towards the green dragon. However, because a human can’t have feelings of that sort for a dragon, his emotions would be directed towards someone more accessible: the green dragon’s rider. It does seem likely that Eragon will develop a relationship with someone in the third book, and even more likely that that someone will be the green rider, and that he will have a child with that partner, for that reason the third rider is likely to be female.
So, it’s possible that Vanir will be the rider of the green dragon.
Arya
Arya is the most likely candidate to become the rider of the green dragon. First, there is the fact that she is an elf, and a strong and talented elf at that. From what we’ve seen of her skills both with magic and with the sword, she would require very little training to be useful in battle, merely enough time for the green dragon to become mature enough to fight well in battle, which would be as soon as the green dragon learned to breathe fire, around six months after hatching. Along with that, Arya is female, and not just that but Eragon’s love interest. If Saphira were to fall in love with and mate with the green dragon, that would change Arya’s feelings for Eragon and the two of them would fall in love, as well. Third, two of the most often mentioned facts about Arya are her eye and magic color: emerald green. While eye color certainly has nothing to do with becoming a dragon rider, all of the riders we’ve seen so far in the trilogy have possessed magic the color of his dragon. While there is no evidence that this is always true, it can be interpreted as foreshadowing to her upcoming relation to the green dragon.
The main piece of evidence against Arya is that people claim she is too old. However, there is no evidence that there is a set age limit for becoming a rider, so such a point is meaningless.
So, it is highly likely that Arya will be the rider of the green dragon.
The Weapon Under the Menoa Tree
Ah, Solembum’s words. "When the time comes and you need a weapon, look under the roots of the Menoa tree. But what will this weapon be?
Some say that Eragon has already received his weapon: his transformation at the Agaeti Blodhren. They say that he was under the Menoa tree when he was transformed, and because of this, the transformation was his weapon.
However, this is likely not the case for the simple reason that it does not match up with Solembum’s words. First, he must be looking for this weapon, and at that time he certainly was not attempting to find a weapon, he was just watching the ceremony. And along with this, the weapon may have been under the Menoa tree, but it was not under the roots of the Menoa tree, which Solembum specified as criteria for this weapon. So, his transformation likely was not the weapon.
No, it’s much more likely that the weapon will be just that: an actual, physical weapon. Say, a sword or, more specifically, Brom’s sword. Remember, it’s said that Brom lost his sword. Seems like an odd place to lose it, though, under a huge tree far from where the fighting during the Fall (the time when he most likely lost his sword) took place. But then, that’s why we must look someplace else: in this case, the dictionary.
Look at the definition for, "root." In my dictionary, the #3 definition is the word, "origin." Therefore, instead of looking under the physical roots themselves, Eragon must look to the origins of the Menoa tree: two old elven families, both of which are in possession of the swords of old riders that they salvaged from the wreckage of the battles of the Fall. One elven family will have Brom’s sword, which they will gladly give to Eragon when he comes to see them. As for the other elven family with a sword… They’ll give it the third rider, whose green dragon will match the sword in their possession.
The Vault of Souls, its Location and its Contents
Once again, it’s time to look at what Solembum has told Eragon. "Then, when all seems lost and your power is insufficient, go to the rock of Kuthian and speak your name to open the Vault of Souls."
Where is the Vault of Souls, first of all? Some say that it is on Doru Areaba, the great city of the riders. Others say that it is the Star Sapphire of Tronjheim. However, there is one location that seems much more likely: Helgrind.
Now, if you examine the description of Helgrind, you’ll notice that it looks strikingly similar to a rock formation in New Mexico known as Ship Rock. If you switch the words around a bit, you get… Rock of Ship. Looks a bit like the Rock of Kuthain, doesn’t it? The other reasons for Helgrind to be the likely location of the Rock of Kuthain become clear later, in the discussion of the contents of the Vault of Souls.
So, then we move onto the likely contents of the Vault of Souls. Sounds pretty basic, doesn’t it? It’s a vault… containing souls. But for what purpose, and from where? Remember when Eragon was fighting Murtagh? He discovers that Murtagh’s mind seemingly contains multitudes—multitudes of souls. So clearly, Murtagh is drawing his power from other souls along with his own, and if he was taught by Galbatorix, then it stands to reason that Galbatorix does, as well.
But where do the souls come from? Well, if we’re supposing that the Vault of Souls is in Helgrind, that immediately reminds us of another sinister pair of characters: the Ra’zac. Now, the Ra’zac are the king’s personal dragon hunters, and also are creatures meant to prey on humans. So, it’s clear that these Ra’zac do a lot of killing. But instead of letting all the power of a soul go to waste, why not find a way to store it, instead? Say, to use a spell that, instead of destroying the soul of those killed by the Ra’zac, instead stores it in a handy vault: a Vault of Souls. This explains why Galbatorix is seemingly impossibly getting stronger every year: every time the Ra’zac kill a person, that soul is added to the Vault and Galbatorix (and now Murtagh, as well) become more powerful. Of course, the Vault of Souls is also a physical place, so why not throw in any dragon eggs for safekeeping? Namely, that of the green dragon.
And said contents explain why opening the vault will be so important: not only will it give the Varden access to another dragon egg and soon another rider, but it will also make Galbatorix and Murtagh both substantially less powerful, and give Eragon a fair chance at beating one or both of them (with help from the green dragon’s rider, of course).
The True Identity of Eragon’s Father
Hear me out on this one. A lot of you are screaming one very misinformed and meaningless thing right now: "Murtagh said that Morzan was his father in the ancient language, and since you can’t lie in the ancient language, Morzan must be his father!" However, this is not at all true, and in reality Morzan is not Eragon’s father. It is Brom.
First, you must understand that it is possible to tell an untruth in the ancient language. You see, just because Murtagh said it in the AL doesn't mean that it's true, just that he believed it was true. That was the entire reason Eragon wrote a poem for the Agaeti Blodhren: so Islanzadi could tell Eragon that it was possible to tell untruths in the AL, if you really believed that they were true. So because Murtagh has seen no evidence showing that Eragon could not also be a son of Morzan, and because they do share a mother, he believes that Eragon was also the son of Morzan.
Now, for the extensive evidence:
P. 546
"Son and Father alike, both blind as bats".
This is about betrayal. Brom was blind to Morzan's betrayal, and Eragon was blind to Murtagh's betrayal.
Consider this quote from page 280 of Eldest: (Oromis) "Morzan was my greatest failure. Brom idolized him. He never left his side, never contradicted him, and never believed that he could best Morzan in any venture. Morzan, I'm ashamed to admit-for it was within my power to stop-was aware of this and took advantage of Brom's devotion in a hundred different ways. He grew so proud and cruel that I considered separating him from Brom. But before I could, Morzan helped Galbatorix to steal a dragon hatchling, Shruikan, to replace the one Galbatorix had lost, killing the dragon's original rider in the process. Morzan and Galbatorix then fled together, sealing our doom."
"You cannot begin to fathom the effect Morzan's betrayal had on Brom until you understand the depth of Brom's affection for him. And when Galbatorix at last revealed himself and the Forsworn killed Brom's dragon, Brom focused all of his anger and pain on the one who he felt was responsible for the destruction of his world: Morzan."
I think that sums it up.
Riddle #3 - This is the most important one
p. 546
"While two may share two,
And one of two is certainly one,
One might be two."
While two sons (Eragon and Murtagh) "may" share the same two parents (Morzan and Selena),
And one parent of two parents, the Mother-Selena, is certainly the same one parent of both sons,
One parent, the Father, might be two Fathers (Brom and Morzan) each having one of the sons.
What in the world could this riddle be about if it doesn't support the two-father theory?
One last fact: Blagden never met Morzan so he could not have been talking about him. Morzan was never blind. He knew exactly what he was doing. He was after power. Brom was the only one who was blind by his insane idolization of Morzan.
Eragon pages 281-282:
While they spoke, Saphira crawled into the cave and greeted Eragon. She was glad to see him, but there was deep sadness in her thoughts and words. She laid her big blue head on the floor and asked, "Are you well again?"
"Not quite."
"I miss the old one."
"As do I... I never suspected that he was a rider. Brom! He really was an old man - as old as the Forsworn. Everything he taught me about magic he must have learned from the riders themselves."
Saphira shifted slightly. "I knew what he was the moment he touched me at your farm."
"And you didn't tell me? Why?"
"He asked me not to," she said simply.
Eragon decided not to make an issue of it. Saphira never meant to hurt him. "Brom kept more than that secret," he told her, then explained about Zar'roc and Murtagh's reaction to it. "I understand now why Brom didn't explain Zar'roc's origins when he gave it to me. If he had, I probably would have run away from him at the first opportunity."
"You would do well to rid yourself of that sword," she said with distaste. "I know it's a peerless weapon, but you would be better off with a normal blade rather than Morzan's butchery tool."
"Perhaps. Saphira, where does our path go from here? Murtagh offered to come with us. I don't know his past, but he seems honest enough. Should we go to the Varden now? Only I don't know how to find them. Brom never told us."
"He told me," said Saphira.
Eragon grew angry. "Why did he trust you, but not me, with all this knowledge?"
Her scales rustled over the dry rock as she stood above him, eyes profound. "After we left Teirm and were attacked by the Urgals, he told me many things, some of which I will not speak of unless necessary. He was concerned about his own death and what would happen to you after it. One fact he imparted to me was the name of a man, Dormnad, who lives in Gil'ead. He can help us find the Varden. Brom also wanted you to know that of all the people in Alagaesia, he believed you were the best suited to inherit the Riders' legacy."
Tears welled in Eragon's eyes. This was the highest praise he could have ever received from Brom. "A responsibility I will bear honorably."
"Good."
Clearly Brom has told Saphira of things that he wouldn't want revealed to Eragon until he is mature enough. Eragon would undoubtedly be distraught enough after losing his mentor, and to find out that Brom is also his father would completely confuse and demoralize him at a time when survival is paramount.
Eldest page 656:
Saphira ruffled his hair with a gust of hot breath. "Just remember, whatever Brom's reasons, he always tried to protect us from danger. He died saving you from the Ra'zac."
"I know.... Do you think he didn't tell me about this because he was afraid I might emulate Morzan, like Murtagh has?"
"Of course not."
He looked at her, curious. "How can you be so certain?" She lifted her head high above him and refused to meet his eyes or to answer. "Have it your way, then."
This is an enormously important quote. Saphira is waiting to tell Oromis/Glaedr (she might have done so already) about Brom being Eragon's father. I think it's a sure bet that Oromis will be the one to tell Eragon the truth. Just like in Book 1, Saphira knows that Eragon isn't quite mature enough to receive this information.
Plus, if you look at it from a logistical standpoint, you'll notice two things: 1) Inheritance is a coming-of-age story/trilogy, and Eragon shouldn't (and hasn't) come of age by the end of the second book and 2) Christopher Paolini just dropped a huge bombshell a mere 4 pages ago that Morzan is Eragon's father - that would be absolutely horrendous writing to reveal something like that and then change it 4 pages later. This "revelation" is the big twist at the end of the novel. It's just that we'll find out that it wasn't really a twist after all.
There is a chapter in Eldest titled "Inheritance." In it, Murtagh takes Zar'roc from Eragon and claims it as his inheritance. This conveniently leaves Eragon without a sword. In the third book Eragon will get his inheritance and his proper rider's sword (meaning that it matches the color of his dragon).
We are never told what happens to Brom's sword. It is only mentioned indirectly when Eragon converses with the elf sword maker Rhunon. She mentions that there are only two of her swords left (other than Morzan's and Oromis'), and they happen to each be held by two elven families. One is Brom's, and the other is likely a green sword that will go to the rider of the green dragon.
This makes Brom’s sword Eragon’s inheritance, and this is the Inheritance Trilogy, after all.
However, there are some other questions that must still be answered. For example, why, if Brom was Eragon’s father, would he not raise his own son while both live in Carvahall? And why would Brom never tell Eragon that he was his father?
In response to those two questions: there was no evidence whatsoever to imply that Eragon would be a rider in his early life. Brom was there in Carvahall to watch over him, and he did teach his son all about the old ways. When Eragon went to Brom's to ask him questions about the riders Brom answered all of his questions. One of the best ways to teach is through stories, and in order to have Eragon learn more he had to be interested in riders and their history. I also think that if Brom said that he was Eragon's father and a Rider, Eragon would be a whole lot less likely to believe that the riders really did exist and that they had fallen. If you're told that all of the riders are dead, except that this ordinary storyteller that everyone's known for 15 years is one, the stories would be a whole lot less credible.
There's also the fact that if Brom told Eragon that he was his father, other people in Carvahall would probably find out and word of it might leak back to Galbatorix. If Galbatorix found out that the last remaining rider and his son were living in Carvahall, I believe he would have left Uru'baen and gone out to destroy the village.
Thirdly, if Eragon knew that Brom was his father, he could possibly reveal it when someone enters his head (like the twins) and the odds were reasonable (and it actually happened in the book) that the one(s) who find out that Eragon is Brom's son worked for Galbatorix. If Galbatorix found out that the newest rider that wasn't under his control was the son of Brom, he would have to assume that he was raised by Brom, and was the beneficiary of a lifetime of teaching by Brom. Since we know Brom was powerful and strong enough to have a hand in the deaths of eight of the Forsworn, his lifetime knowledge passed down to his son would make Eragon a much more deadly enemy than if Eragon was raised by a random farmer and never had any contact with Brom. If Galbatorix believed that Eragon was Brom's son, he himself would have flown to the battle at the end of Eldest, and it would have been a forgone conclusion.
And the big question: if Brom is indeed Eragon’s father, then how on earth would he and Selena have a chance to "make" Eragon?
The potential for an affair comes to mind, or for a king Arthur-type situation. Or, as we don’t know exactly how long Selena was missing from the castle ("many months" is a very unclear length of time), she could have met Brom and fallen in love with him after running from the castle. Bear in mind that around the time of Selena’s disappearance, Morzan was off searching for Saphira’s egg, which had just been stolen, so would not have been around the castle or seeing Selena at any time. And that give Brom ample opportunity to see her.
Brom’s Seven Words
Remember these? Just before his death, Brom tells Eragon seven words in the ancient language, then what they mean, and then he tells them only to use the words in great need. What these words could possibly be, however, is open to much interpretation.
The first theory is that these words are Eragon’s (or someone else’s) true name, yet this is unlikely for many reasons, first because seven words is far too long to be a person’s name, second because telling a person their true name can be incredibly dangerous, and third, how on earth would Brom know? Instead of that, it could be possible that these words have something to do with the Menoa tree, perhaps a way to communicate with it in some way. However, this seems unlikely because something like that would be more of an interest than something that should only be used in great need. Another theory is that the seven words are some sort of password to be told to the family in possession of Brom’s sword so they will know to give it to Eragon, but again, that does not sound like something that should be used, "only in great need."
Another possibility is that what Brom told him is a spell that human dragon riders could use to boost their physical attributes to become equal to those of an elf, or perhaps the enchantments that Oromis uses to keep himself alive despite his sickness or how elves can sing to trees and other plants. That would explain why no elf knew of (or planned to teach Eragon) these spells, but Brom did. This seems unlikely, however, because Eragon has already had his attributes boosted to match those of an elf (thus making Brom’s words useless) and singing to trees doesn’t seem to be a very useful ability and especially not one that should only be used when the need is great.
The most likely (and simplest) explanation, of course, is that these seven words are a very powerful spell (of either destruction or healing) that, unfortunately, has a terrible energy cost or other price attached to it that means the spell should only be used in the most dire of situations. Of the two choices, destruction is much more likely.
The New Dwarf King
The question here is simple: Orik or someone else? The other dwarves seemed to be against Hrothgar and his pro-dragon policies; as Orik also seems pro-dragon, likely the other clan leaders (as Orik is Hrothgar’s heir, he will take control of Durgrimst Ingietum) will vote for one other than Orik as new king.
Unless, of course, something happens to change their minds before the election takes place. Now, it will be a while before a new dwarf king will be elected, as Hrothgar must be buried first, and he will have a long way to travel before he can be laid to rest. That gives Eragon and Saphira ample opportunity to do a variety of things, one of which will be Saphira healing the star sapphire. After Saphira fixes, "the heart of Tronjheim," that likely will change the hearts of the dwarven clan leaders and cause them to act in the interest of their now pro-dragon people: to elect a pro-dragon candidate. And that candidate would be none other than Orik. However, the clan leaders likely will not act as one, and it will shape up to be a rather messy election.
So, expect Orik to become the king of his people, but the process may not be pretty.
Eragon’s Love
Who will Eragon fall in love with? It’s part of Angela’s prediction, that, "an epic romance is in your future, extraordinary, as the moon indicates—for that is a magical symbol—and strong enough to outlast empires. I cannot say if this passion will end happily, but your love is of noble birth and heritage. She is wise, powerful, and beautiful beyond compare." So, there are two possibilities: either he will fall in love with Arya, or he will not.
If he does not fall in love with Arya, than who with? Or will he fall in love again at all? Some people claim that he will fall in love with Katrina, but that is simply idiotic: why on earth would he fall in love with a person who is already engaged to his brother? It makes no sense. Eragon will not fall in love with Katrina.
Another option, slightly more likely, is Nasuada. People have said that because Arya does not return Eragon’s love, it does not qualify as romance and therefore his epic romance is still to come. They also claim that she would fulfill the prophecy because, as leader of the Varden, she is certainly noble. However, this is not correct, for the prophecy reads, "of noble birth and heritage," meaning that Nasuada would have to be born into nobility to fulfill it, and as she was merely born to a man who was fleeing from the empire and not some manner of royalty. But regardless of the prophecy, it still seems unlikely that Eragon and Nasuada will fall in love. After all, Nasuada has a rebellion to lead, and falling in love with one of her vassals is certainly going to disrupt the war effort.
And of course, the possibility remains that Eragon will never fall in love after ending his pursuit of Arya. But I believe that we will see more evidence connected to other theories that makes this option also very unlikely.
Now, it is of course the most likely that his love for Arya is the fulfillment of the prophecy, and when Saphira mates with the green dragon, ridden by Arya, that will influence Arya to fall in love with Eragon, and there will be the epic romance. And, of course, because they are both riders and therefore understand each other perfectly, this romance will have a happy result.
Saphira’s Mate
One of the most important questions concerning the future of Alagaesia: who will be Saphira’s mate? There are five possibilities, some more likely than others.
The first and least likely is Glaedr. The argument for him is that he is the only male dragon currently on the same side as Saphira, so when the situation begins to look bleak the two of them will have to mate to sustain their race. However, Glaedr has already refused Saphira once, and likely she’s learned her lesson and won’t try again.
Another possibility is that Saphira and Eragon will search for wild dragons, and Saphira will find one willing to be her mate. However, Saphira and Eragon are going to be busy with a war, and will have no time to go and search for other dragons, making this option also unlikely. It is possible that they could search after the war, there is another theory that essentially disproves this that I’ll get to later.
Thorn and Shruikan have pretty much the same chance, but the only real way for Saphira to mate with either of them would be if she were captured by Galbatorix. If captured, Saphira would be forced to mate with one of them, and there’s no way Saphira is strong enough to resist them. This is quite possible, but considering CP’s plot so far, it is not as likely as…
Saphira falling in love with the green dragon. Varden gets egg, egg hatches, green dragon matures, falls in love with Saphira, they mate. Sounds simple, is simple. If Saphira wants a mate on her side of the war and Glaedr isn’t going to, the only option for her is the green dragon.
The green dragon and Thorn or Shruikan are both equally likely based on the evidence, so you have to consider which is more likely based on what CP has written so far. Now, so far, nothing bad has happened to Saphira. That can mean one of two things: either nothing will happen to her, or she’s due for something bad to happen. But it’s more likely that nothing bad will happen to her, and she will fall in love and mate with the green dragon.
Who Will Die?
Who, exactly, of the major characters, is going to die? Obviously Galbatorix will; that goes without saying. It’s highly likely that Oromis and Glaedr will as well, Oromis from his mysterious disease and Glaedr from Oromis’ death. People also seem to think that Thorn will die, but Murtagh will not. It is certainly possible, as Murtagh is on the side of evil (if reluctantly), but Galbatorix will not make the mistake of leaving loopholes in his oaths again. That means that if Eragon and Murtagh meet again in battle, Eragon will be unable to show Murtagh any mercy. It is likely that Thorn will die, and Murtagh may as well, that is unclear. Whether the king’s dragon, Shruikan, will die is another debate. Some think that he will die along with Galbatorix, while others think that, because Galbatorix was not Shruikan’s original rider, the bond between the two will be weaker than normal, meaning that Shruikan will not only survive Galbatorix’s death but become good upon the death of his surrogate rider. As we have not yet seen Galbatorix or Shruikan, we cannot determine the strength of their bond and thus cannot determine the answer to this question, one way or another. However, Shruikan dying with his rider is more likely.
One of the strangest—and, even stranger, most popular—death theories is that Arya will die. But seriously, people. One of the most obvious things in this entire trilogy is that Arya will be the rider of the green dragon. And if she is that green dragon’s rider, and we know that there are two dragons in the sky in Eragon’s dream before Garrow’s death (more on that dream later, but it is rather obvious foreshadowing for the last scene of book three), that means that the riders of those two dragons (Saphira and the green dragon) must survive the war, and therefore Eragon and Arya will survive. And while we’re on the subject of main characters’ love interests dying, Katrina won’t die, either.
Of course, there will be some other casualties, namely a bunch of minor characters: several high-ranking Varden members (likely including Nasuada and Orrin), unimportant elves and servants of Galbatorix, villagers, etc.
Who Will Kill Galbatorix?
Yes, believe it or not, there are dissenting opinions regarding the answer to this question. The choice for Galbatorix’s killer is split between two people, one very obvious and one… rather odd: Eragon and Shruikan (if you think Murtagh will kill Galbatorix by throwing him into a bottomless pit filled with glowing blue electricity, please, for the sake of all mankind, commit hara-kiri… now).
Some people seem to think that Shruikan will turn good at the last moment possible and kill Galbatorix, typically by squishing him. However, this is highly unlikely. Regardless of how Shruikan originally felt about Galbatorix, the two of them have now been joined for a hundred years. Considering how much the two of them have been though in that time, it’s quite obvious that they care quite a lot for each other, and therefore Shruikan will not kill Galbatorix.
So that leaves one man to be Galbatorix’s killer: Eragon. As it should be.
The New Ruler of Alagaesia
With Galbatorix dead, who will rule Alagaesia in his place? It clearly will not be Eragon, for he will leave Alagaesia forever, as Angela predicted, and how can he rule a place when he is no longer there? And besides that, he has already expressed that he does not want to rule.
The new ruler will not be an elf or dwarf. They already have their own rulers in their own kingdoms, so that just leaves the humans to decide who will rule. So to determine that, we must look to the past rulers of humans in Alagaesia: king Palancar and his descendants. And where did the descendants of Palancar dwell before they were driven out by the soldiers of the king? Palancar valley or, more specifically, Carvahall. So, who is in charge of Carvahall? Roran. So he will rule Alagaesia as his ancestors did, with Katrina as his queen.
What Will Happen At the End of Book Three?
The answer to this final question can be determined by decoding something given to us relatively close to the beginning of Eragon: Eragon’s dream in the chapter Deathwatch. In this dream, Eragon sees some people boarding a silver ship. Two of them are apparently taller than all the others, a man and a woman who are holding hands. Then the ship sails away, and a man who stayed on the beach cries out, and as the dream fades away, two dragons are seen in the sky.
The two dragons are the easiest to decode: Saphira and the green dragon, flying away above the ship that they’re too large to land on. The presence of the two dragons means that their riders, Eragon and Arya, are on the ship as well. And as there are two people taller than all others, holding hands, that are specifically mentioned among the rest of those boarding the ship, we can assume that these two are elves and, most likely, Eragon and Arya. Them holding hands is another indication that they have indeed fallen in love. Eragon is boarding this ship because his destiny is to leave Alagaesia together, so of course his bonded partner, Saphira, and his love, Arya (and the green dragon), will journey away with him. And because Arya is an elf, where better to go but to the old home of the elves, Alalea?
The man screaming on the beach is up for considerably more debate. The possibilities are Murtagh (which assumes that he survives the war), Roran and, in an incredibly complicated theory I’m not going to delve into that involves the son of Arya and Eragon and a spell enabling time travel, the first Eragon. It being Murtagh is unlikely for a couple of reasons: first of all, if it’s him, where’s Thorn? It’s been said as incredibly rare for a rider to survive the death of his or her dragon, yet we already know of two: Brom and Galbatorix. So for us to have met more riders that have survived the deaths of their dragons than those who have not would imply against what we’ve already been told as fact, meaning that if Thorn is dead, so should be Murtagh, meaning that because Thorn is not present, the man is not Murtagh. Second, why would he be there, and third, why would he be screaming? There appears to be nothing on that boat that he cares incredibly for. He was friends with Eragon, yes, but certainly not enough of one to scream at his departure.
Which leaves Roran. Yes, of course he would be there to see his foster brother and brother’s wife, and the last two dragon riders in Alagaesia, leave forever. And of course he would scream in anguish at never being able to see his foster brother again, not knowing for the rest of his live what became of him. Roran fits." This is a quote from
http://www.shurtugal.com/?id=trilogy/book3/theories#1
I'm pretty sure the movie eragon was a blatent insult to the book. It was horrible. Don't see it if you haven't already gone. We shouldn't support such filth
i think that murtaugh will kill galbatorix but murtagh will also die when he breaks his oaths to do so, also i think that eragon will bring the first eragon back to life to help him in his fight against galbatorix
i think arya will be the next rider because, come on, there's gotta be a girl in there sometime!!
Ok I think that green dragon haches for Arya
Also at the end of book three I think that Gallbatorix fights Eragon and Saphira, and was winning. He was about to kill them, when Murtagh sneaks up and stabs Gallbatorix through the heart. doing so he broke his oath to Gallbatorix and died, just so he could save his brother and his dragon.
i think arya will hatch the last dragon egg because it is ment to be green aryas eyes are green and also riders magic is the same colour as their dragons and aryas magic is green she is also of noble birth as in the prediction angela gave gave eragon about falling for a noble and eragons and saphrias feelings are joined so the rider cannot be roran.
I think that Murtagh will break his vow but in this killin galbatorix and eragon will get him from the vault of souls
i think that Galbortorix will be killed, Shurikan becomes free as well as Murtagh and his Dragon,Eragon educates a new rider, breaks a prohecy,gets a blue sword from the Menoa tree, gets power from the VAult of souls and Eragon leaves Algeasia, and Arya becomes the next rider and all but the Drawves,kull and urgals leave for a diffrent place
I think that Galbotorix will die and
ARYA
will hatch the new egg cause it said in the book Eldest that she had emerald magic. Because When eragon uses magic it's sapphire like Sapphira's scales so cause Arya's magic is emerald she will probably hatch the new egg.
I also think that Brom is Eragon's father cause of blagden's prophecy.
What if Galbatorix IS the vault of souls, and he drains the power from the souls and thereby gets all his streanth. Ha! didn't think of that one did ya?
OR!!.. The weapon under the moaning tree (or whatever it's called?) could be the vault of souls. So when Eragon gets it he would become powerfull enough to defeat Old Gal.
Arya will hatch the green egg.. (How does everyone know it's green?)
And of course Eragon and Arya will hook up in the end. Arya's just afraid to comprimise Eragons training and has been it ever since she saw him make that odd tablet/stone thingy in book 2.
And i really hope nothing bad will happen to Saphira.. She's just too important to die.. And she's everyones favorite carecter ;)
Ak flagga inbu mek haklarhga! (Hope that meens something cool)
Roran camt be the next rider because look Eragon had a girl dragon and hes a guy. So Araya will be the next rider because shes a girl and will have a guy dragon and then yes Eragon and Araya will get married. But before they do they work together to destroy galobatrix. Along with saving Katrina. Then yes Eragon will leave with Araya to where the riders first home was. Then before that happens Murthag will breaking his oath with galobatrix. Then Eragon gets mad and kills galobatixs dragon.
Roran cant be the next rider because eragon had a girl dragon and hes a guy so araya will have a guy dragon cause shes a girl. Then they will work together to destroy the empire. Then galobatrix kills murtagh. Then eragon gets really mad and kills galobatrixs dragon and galobatrix cries out with pain telling eragon to kill him so he can be with his dragon. Eragon says no that he will live 1000 yrs because of all the pain u hav caused the people. Galobatrix runs away into a cave and is never seen again. Then eragon and araya get married and so do their dragons. Then they go to where the riders first came from and live a long and happy life as does the rest of the world.
if anything i think roran will be the next rider because eragon has a simialar bloodline to murtagh eragon and morzan and ithink that orik should become the next dwarf king and maybe roran might be older and find it harder to learn but he might find the reason why thorn grew so fast to match saphira at the end of eldest
i think that in the third book murtaugh will die of eragons will but not before telling him something very important. i also think that galbatorix and shruiken will die because of arya. i also think that the third egg will be her new dragon. after reading all the other predictions i think htat eragon will try to bring back either murtaugh or saphira if either die. i also think that arya will lighten up with eragon and become closer. Shur'tugal!
here's what i think will happen,
1. either nausuda falls for eragon (it kinda looks like that in book 2) or arya (which i doubt cuz it kinda looks like she was in love with that other elf that died at the beginning of book one, and she gets all emotional when eragon asks about him)
2. either nausuda or arya are the new dragon rider
3. The Raz'zac are killed
4. Martaugh helps eragon in some way and turns good
5. The things solumbum says will come true (obviously)
6. the king is defeated
7. they get back katrina
8. Saphira finds a mate
9....the books gonna rock! lol
has anyone thought of the word root as a double meaning? The word root can mean a plant root but also orgin. So look under the roots of the Menoa tree could mean to look under the obvious history of the tree and talk to an old elven family to get a weapon. The elves currently have three rider blades: Oromis' and two other blades. one blade could go to Eragon
The theory about the vault of souls and Galbatorix using the power of the souls for strength is a good one but has anyone thought about a simpler explanation? It's possible Galbatorix is storing his energy into gemstones. This would increase his power because the energy in his body would return and he'd have the extra energy in his gemstones. It would also explain why he rarely leaves Urubean. Outside of his capital, he wouldn't be able to draw his extra energy.
Who ever said that Brom is Eragons dad is delusional. Hello? Morzan is Eragon's father. It says that in the book. And i think that there is a Yellow dragon stone in the spine, and that the green one hatches for Arya, and the Yellow one hatches for Roran, and Katrina and Roran live happily ever after.
I know that you all are going to hate me for this but technically Galbatorix isn't evil. For us, the readers' point of view, he is evil. But from his point of view he isn't. Be reminded that "the seeds of madness were planted" because of his dragon dying. The madness progressed when the other Riders refused him a dragon. Has anyone considered that his growing stronger with the spirits caused some of the craziness? I mean people are saying that Murtagh and Galbatorix are getting stronger using spirits. Maybe Galbatorix discovered this when he, his friends, and his dragon were ambushed. He intentionally/unintentionaly absorbed the ambushers spirits and the spirits in turn drove him mad. So maybe in the third book, Eragon and Galbatorix are fighting and then a shade-dying effect happens. The spirits are released and Galbatorix turns good. But then all the bad deeds and the other stuff like stealing Shruikan consumes him and he dies.
P.S.Post any comments on this. I would like to know who likes this theory.
P.P.S. I do not believe one word of what I just said. It was just a completely off the top of my head, random thing that I came up with.
i think that what Saphira means when she says that if when she chooses a mate Eragon will have feelings toward the rider and his dragon not sexual feelings but feelings of kinship like that of a brother to his brother or sister. because i do not think that all the ancient dragon riders were homosexuals but were brothers. also i think that Oromis dies protecting Eragon and that the next egg that hatches is going to hatch to eithier arya or Roran. and i also think that brom is Eragon's dad.
what mose people don't understand is that Roran couldn't POSSIBLY be the next dragon rider. it would take tooooo much time for them to train him for battle, teach him magic, and flying and everying if this is the last book. it took about two whole books for eragons training and he still probably isnt FULLY trained. i believe Arya is more likely for the dragon rider of the green dragon because she has been trained for her whole life, she was skilled in protecting the egg, she's skilled in battle, and magic. so all she would need to learn would be what oromis has taught to eragon. and if oromis DOES die, eragon can teach it too her. which, as they would be spending time together, might probably bring out personal feelings that they both have for each other, thus giving both Eragon and Saphira mates.
Hmmmm, ok so i think that Murtagh is going to turn around and hurt Galbatorix. maybe stop him from using magic, or something, but he will weaken Galbatorix. of course he'll die, but then Eragon will go to the vault of souls and bring him back. since he died he wouldnt be held by any oaths and he would be back on Eragons side. the dragon rider would not be found in the third book....i think..... it would be up to Eragon to find the last dragon rider. the last dragon will be a male so that Saphira and whatever its name is can do what they do. the war between Eragon and Galbatorix is going to be big and is probably going to wipe out everything so Eragon would have to leave with Ayra, so thhats where that part of the profecy comes in. I think that the jewel that Saphira broke is going to have a big part in the third book....he might draw power from it or something. i think Eragon is going to find the words of the ancient language and tthose are going to help him either get stronger or weaken Galbatorix.
wow, cant wait till it comes out
i think the third dragon will go to a new character. and murtagh will kill himself at the end to free himself from his oath alongside thorn or after thorns death. (i really hope that doesnt happen!!!)
i think that eragon is a really good book and i cant wait for the 3rd one!
I also think that empire will be good
I think that Katrina will become the next rider, why else would the empire keep her alive?????
Oromis will probably go into battle with Galbatorix.Start to lose, but then eragon and roran will come for the rescue!
Murtagh probably will turn good, but he IS bound by the ancient language. So he might have to be killed by eragon or roran before Galbatorix can be killed...
I think Ayra AND Sapphira will be killed. And that means that eragon will bring them back, dunno how though, possibly with a little help from Solebum and Angela.
A new dragon egg may be found in the 3rd one.
Which will be hatched by orik, seeing as there wernt any dwark riders.
i think that Brom is definately Eragon's father because in the first book Saphira says that Brom told her many things and wouldn't reveal them to Eragon. Also, in the end of the second book when murtagh says that Morzan is Eragons father Murtagh believes it is the truth and so says it in the ancient language but it may not be! Saphira dodges talking about Morazan being eragons father because she clearly knows something he doesnt. I think that Elva may be the next dragon rider because she bared the mark on her forhead and her character would suit it as she is strong willed and forced into the harsh reality at an early age. cant wait for the third book! let us know the release date ASAP
anonymous , have you been paying attention ? Morzan is Eragons dad , not brom . I think that Galbotorix will die eventually.....but meaning that a person might sacriface themselves to kill galbotorix . Maybe Murtagh .... because he feels guilty of betraying his brother and friends . By saving the land , he would be able to repay back his fault, and be forgiven . But its more likely that Eragon will kill galbotorix .... because after all , he is the MAIN character .
my opinion is that maybe nasuada will be a new rider and then arya and eragon travel thru the beors and spot a dragon nest finding 2 eggs, 1 broken and one white ending up as aryas dragon
also remember angelas telling?she said that the future isnt as set in stone as people may think it to be so they may not end up as so many people said, i think ary and murtagh were the ones on the boat because erago and galbotrix killed each other and nasuada saved eragon from the killing spell which left him mortally wounded but still engh streNGTH TO KILL the g man thereby destroying shurikan
Ok to all of you who are saying you think eragon will become king you are wrong in book 2 pg. 65 when he is talking to Trianna she said the dwarves are singing songs of how you will take the throne from galbatorix and he says no he doesnt wish to become king. although i do agree with you who say that roran will become ruler as for a rider i dont know i think arya or maybe murtagh. i also think arya will finally give into her feelings for eragon she says it is because of age but i think she will finally go for him.Galbatorix will be defeated as many have predected and i think either saphira or arya will die and eragon will try to bring them back. that is my predictions for book three.
chels
i think nasuada will become ruler.
chels
well this is not really a prediction but i think Arya and the gaurd that was killed Paolin were like lovers and when eragon went to her room he said he saw a picture of her father and of a younger elf that he did not no. so that why she is all sad and doesnt want to be with eragon
I think most of that is true except i do not think Roran will become a rider. Eragon was Morzan's son and thats why he became a rider, but Roran is not related to Morzan. But Roran could become very dangerous to the Empire.
okay, the thing about murtagh killing galbatorix, but breaking his oath. its not like he can break the oath and it will kill him, you CANT break the oath. you physically are not able. its not like you can break it but itll kill you.
Vanir is not the next rider, because he says to Eragon in the second book that all the elves held the egg and it didn't hatch for any of them.
well its pretty obvious that sophira will mate with the emerald dragon becuse the book for eragon depicts her facing left and for the third book the dragon will be facing right.
those are pretty good prdictions. i never thought of roran as beind the next rider.
this just came to me when i was reading some posts. they raven said like father like son both as blind as a bat. so only 3 people have talked to solubun, thats selena eragon and a blind begger. selena is his mom and the blind begger is his dad.
Remember the story of the Menoa tree Arya told Eragon? Maybe the weapon the tree has to offer is that Eragon can pull energy from its roots enabling him to perform harder magic that would have killed him before.
I dont know, it was just a thought
okay. here are my ideas.these are totally off the top of my head just so you know but there might be some truth in them.
one is that tthis is the INHERITENCE trilogy and although it might not have anything to do with the third dragon hatching, it could be that one other of the riders had a child and no one not even the child knows and they could be the next rider and they could be discovered as the rider's child through their looks. i know this is competely unlikely bu hey how about a few more options than those that are canstantly repeated.
next is that does anyone know how the first eragon died because as far as we kknow he should still be alive (maybe he flew off somewhere (over the rainbow... )and went to another country) and maybe the second eragon will follow in his footsteps.
three. christopher paolini is an extrodinary writer so he may not make everything so obvious as we are finding it to discover. he is gonna have some big twist in the story like maybe the trip from alagaesia that eragon will never return from is not so much leaving the country but leaving the name of the land and its terrible past behind (although i doubt that. it was just an example)
also what if Katrina was not actually at the razacs layer
hopee this comes of some use but do remember these are not properly thought out so if you have a counter argument don't get too annoyed at me. also i know you do not need a riders blood to be a rider.
by the way whoever said that the rock of kuthian was the weapon under the monoa tree GOOD IDEA
can you guys please read other peoples comments before you repeat what they have already said cos it gats tiring reaading the same thing over and over
P.S. just so yo'll know the film is not that good if you have read the book ( which i imagine you all have) so just let your friends know to see the film first if you recommend the book (/ i never thought i would say that)
P.P.S. i read some where that the third book will come out summer 07 or march 07 (although it is unofficial)
P.P.P.S. christopher paolini has said a title has been chosen and anything you have already heard is just a rumor because he has not announced it yet and the title in the back of book 2 limited edition is the second part of the chinese version which is basically the second half of eldest for everyone else.
what if eragon figures out how to break the oth without killing himself or anyone else.
chels
You cant bring people back from the dead. Its not like he can go to the vault of souls and just pull someone out. Even if he did find Brom or Murtagh or anyone that might die in there, itll be just their soul, no body. he cant just pull them out and theyre back.
There are two families in Ellesmera that have the remaining two rider swords. One of them is Broms, and will be given to Eragon (his inheritance) and the other will be given to the green dragon's rider (??Arya??). The weapon under the Menoa Tree isnt something as obvious as a sword. As i said in an earlier comment, i think the weapon in the menoa trees roots is some way for Eragon to sap energy. Oromis taught eragon to use energy from the earth to use magic. Since the Menoa Tree is the biggest tree in Ellesmera, the biggest forest, (In Eldest it says the tree was 100 feet in diameter, i think) Eragon could get alot of energy from it, especially since the tree also has an elf's spirit within it. That alone would be a very powerful weapon. I am still not sure about the Rock of Kuthian. Maybe Eragon will be able to talk to Brom and other past riders, but i do not think the Vault of Souls will enable him to bring someone back from the dead. That would make the story pointless. If Eragon could bring anyone he wanted back from the dead, what would the purpose of the story be. It would be like a video game where you can just hit "re-try" if you die or lose.
Please if anyone has GOOD ideas on Brom's last seven words, please share. i dont think it was anyones true name or the name of the ancient language. How would Brom know that stuff, and if he did he wouldve used it and wouldve become more powerful than even Galbatorix.
And if anyone knows when Book 3 comes out, please share. Ive heard March 07 and july/august 07. So i dont know.
-thanks
i think that morzan IS eragons father, but galbatorix is morzans father, making galbatorix eragons grandfather, and thats what brom was trying to tell eragon when he died!!!!
hey, it could happen!!
What about Nasuda becoming ruler after Galbatorix is destroyed???
chels
to the peoples that keep saying that arya can't be the next rider SHE TOTALLY CAN!!! because you say that arya can't be the next rider because saphira didn't choose her even though she carried her around all the time.
that just means that saphira didn't think that arya was the right rider for HER (saphira). therefore arya can still be the green dragons egg!
either her or vanir.
also all the people that say the two of two, one of two, two of one riddle is to do with brom being eragons dad, i think thats true.
BUT
blagden did say MIGHT when he said two of one. meaning, therfore, that brom might not be eragons dad.
i also totally agree with the people who say that just because aryas magic is green and the next dragon is green doesnt mean that they will definately be partnered, but it could be a clue.
i dont think that roran (or any other human OR dwarf to those peeps who think orik will be the next rider) will be the next rider because like all those other anonymouses said it would take WAY too long to train him!!!
and to all those people that say that eragon and arya's (i totally think they HAVE to get together) child will be the rider of saphira and the green dragon's baby its a nice idea but i dont really think it will happen.
the dragon chooses the rider because he/she thinks "this is the human/elf for me!" NOT because it thinks "OMG this human/elf is the kid of my mum's rider! thats it im totally hatching for them!"
thanks everyone!
I think that when eragon Attacks the Ra'zac Galbatorix will be there to attack eragon but Murtagh will sacrifice him self in order for eragon to escape with Katrina and the 3rd dragon egg
What if its the guy who was going to test eragon in arms you know uummmm Fredrick i think it was it might be
I think that there is a distinct possibility that Murtagh will kill Galbatorix, because since Galbatorix is so arrogant in his power he probably didn't make Murtagh swear to not kill him. Also, one thing to consider, is that the Inheritance trilogy, sorry to admit, is following the Star Wars original trilogy to the last detail, and since Morzan and Murtagh are both playing the same role as Darth Vader, then we can assume that Eragon will duel Murtagh in the King's throne room, and that Galbatorix will end up attacking Eragon with magic, making murtagh strike the fatal blow.
i personally think that arya will totally leave eragon except in battle even though she obviously has fealings for eragon. i think that there might be a tottaly new charecter apear as the new dragon rider or it could be the leader of the varden. it will be good to see.
I think that nasuada will die and Eragon will become king after killing Galbatorix, why else would Nasuada make Eragon her replacement?
i dont think murthage will try to kill eragon in the 3 book i think he will take eragons side in the end
chels
I think that Ayra may not be the Rider of the green egg cause just cause her magic is green doesn't mean that she will be the rider, for one thing elves love trees, forests, and whatnot. Because elves love trees and forest which are in the have the color green might mean Ayra really loves trees, forest,etc. That might be the reason for her magic being green.But then again I might be wrong.
May our ears grow pointy.
eh... guys for your info on the cover of the 3rd book there will be a green dragon, not a gold dragon, the author said so.
May our ears grow pointy.
I would think that Murtagh (sp) will die and Eragon will attempt to bring him back freeing him from his oath. I think Arya will be the next rider becuase the guy writing this is like twenty and he's going to want to bond Eragon and Arya further. I think Roran will prove himself to be a great leader and be elected to rule to human. I think that Orik could very well be king but that he should be the next rider becuase that would create a connection to the dragons that never existed prior and it would bring a new age of dragon riders. I think Arya shouldn't get it. She's already got the princess thing going. Lets see the weapon under the menoa tree i think will be Brom's sword, and i think Brom told Saphira Eragon's real name in the ancient language and that she wouldnt tell him until he needed it.
i know that you people are saying that brom will be Eragon's father but don't forget that angela also said that he will be decieved by someone in his family which is murtagh so Eragon must be the son of morzan and selena so he is murtaghs brother explaining the perdiction
everyone is murtagh will die because he has swore loyaty to the king in theacient language in which you can't lie but don't forget brom said you can twist the truth like when eragon was talking to arya after she was ignoring him in the second book she asks how he was and he twists the turth to say hes better than he was before but he was really missing arya so therfore murtagh can do the same with the oath
Eragon has already gotten his weapon from the Menoa tree the weapon was the stregth sight speed hearing and stealth of an elf that was the weapon. well thanx for reading this and i belive that the parent thing with the one is two and one is one thingo could be true so yer thanx 4 reading.
I think Orik will be the next rider which will start a better freindship between elves/humans and the dwarfs and the three races will form a republic as for the vision of the boat i think that is a exploration party to find where the dragons came from and also about the gray people. also I think both murtagh and Ormis will both die fighting Galbortorix, Murtagh will die because he broke the Oath he made I also think Arya might find an egg on the dragons' island
I think Arya will be the next rider. After the varden steal the egg Arya will have easy access to it and as for Roran, he is looking for KAtrina and wont have time to train while Arya is already trained. I also think it is pretty safe to say the eragon will live as Galbatorix needs Saphira to breed and create a new generation of riders. I do not think Oromis will give Eragon his home because Eragon is now the leader of the riders fighting Galbatorix and has already inheited Vrael's home (leader of the riders during the fall).
I don't think Murtagh will die but Thorn might and once Galbatorix is killed he will be released from his oath. I also thing Jeod will lead Eragon through the secret passage into Uru Baen when he gets the egg
I disagree with Roran becoming the next dragon rider but it is a posibility. The riders don't have to be linked by blood, Brom wasn't related to Eragon through blood. As for the next dragon rider what about the child whom Eragon blessed and Saphira gave a marking to? She must have some part in this epic journey. i think the islands off of the coast of Alagaesia may have something to do with this as well, dragon riders use to travel there.
I believe that Brom is Eragon's true father, and all of those who would outright deny it are simply closed minded, for nothing is yet in stone and facts can change along the way.
Here are my reasonings for believing this is so, First of all, it is obvious that Selena IS Eragon's mother, that is undeniable, however, hints have been that Brom had known Selena more than he was letting on. As such, trying to find a way to get to Morzan, for personal vengeance as well as to destroy another great evil, would have found out about her serving Morzan, and trying to get to Morzan through her may have had a secret romance. Resulting in Eragon's birth, and knowing the anger that Morzan would experience if he learned that Brom had fathered a child from the only woman he had ever showed a slight care for, left him with Garrow. This brings another fact, that it would have provided enough evidence for Brom to say he had been there before, as he does. One would think that under normal circumstances Brom might have found a better place to hide, outside of the empire, however he settled in Carvahall, also noting that as was said early on, even though he did not harbor much welcome for any of the villagers in Carvahall, he always made time for Eragon. All of the clues are there, you just need to pay attention to see them.
However I do believe that Arya will be the third Dragon Rider, Eragon's first vision was of leaving on a boat one man and one woman, Whom I believe to be Eragon and Arya and the Dragons in the sky to be theirs. Making Angela's fortune of "a romance strong enough to outlast Empires" True, as well as "to leave this land forever." Of the Man on the Shore, I believe him to be Roran, saying good-bye to his cousin. I believe that Eragon will leave with Arya to go to Alalea. Also, and this is nothing more than a feeling, but I believe Angela will show some real power in this next book and save Eragon's life by fending off one of the King's attacks, and it being the death of her. However, I hope none of us are right, I hope that Paolini will come up with more mind blowing ideas and revelations to leave us standing slack jawed. Though I really don't know why Eragon has not asked Oromis where the rock of Kuthian is...
Also I see alot of Roran would need a certain person's blood or it would have to be an elf, however, it only takes the dragon inside the egg to like the person who is near it to hatch for them. I believe that bloodlines were merely coincidence, however planned around "being a riders son" by Paolini. I believe it will be someone important in the story so far, however nothing is impossible at this point.
a lot of you aren't listening or taking the time to read everyones predictions there are many great points to what everyone is saying but some make sense and some dont. for instance the idea that roran will be the next rider is a good idea but it is wrong. there are many things that hint at this. first you need to look at Eregons dream about the man and woman sailing away with the two dragons overhead. this is a strong indicator for Arya being the next Rider. there is also the green magic/green egg indicator. Also just because Saphira didnt choose her as her mount doesnt mean that she cant be a rider , just that they werent right for each other. plus lets just be realistic its a perfect love story turnout. however the most prominent reason that Roran will not be the next rider, is in his character. Unlike Eregon who is uncertain at times and shows his humanity and emotion, Roran is a natural "royal" leader who is decisive, strong, and a great speaker. he is going to be the next King. also it is only fitting that there should be both a human and an elf rider. argue with that please!
second issue. Ellesmira will be attacked and destroyed it is not by accident that eregon is told during the blood oath ceremony, that he will not return there and there is no other reason that he would not go back.
Third issue.
Brom is Eregons father
Blagden the raven told eragon"Father like son both blind as bats" meaning that Brom didnt see Morzans betrayal,and eragon didnt see murtaghs.another He couldnt be talking about Morzan as his father, he never knew morzan.Riders trained at Vroengaurd therefore he never met morzan. Blagden knew brom because brom went to Ellesmera to get help from the elves.Another quote from blagden"while two may share two,and one of two is certainly one,one might be two."Eragon and murtagh both have two parents but they share only "selenea" one and the tw fathers are murtagh and brom
i think these are pretty obvious deductions there is more on which to speculate though like how is murtagh so powerfull where is he getting that power from. From the elements of the earth is a good speculation however i thik there is somthing far more sinister to it oh yeah one last thought. There is more to Angela that we do not yet know!
Out
i think that arya will be next rider because in many cases in eragon and eldest, she has use GREEN magic, which hints that she will be the rider of the green dragon. also there is no way saphira will die and stay dead murtaugh may turn good if galbatorix dies
i posted the last comment on how aryas the rider and i have to ask, does anyone know a site were i can read the first chapter of the third eragon and see what glaedr looks like if so post it! id also like to say that in the third when or if galbatorix dies he will have no bonds on murtaugh and murtaugh may join up with the varden, or kill eragon, eeither or lol
I think that Arya will be the next Rider and that Roran will be the king of Alagësia. I also think that Murtargh will help Eragon and together they'll kill Galbatorix. At the end, my predictions of possible couple:
- Eragon and Arya
- Murtargh and Nasuada
I'm pretty sure that Eragon and Roran will save Katrina, that Eragon will finish his training and that everyone will be happy until the next bad man.
I think that Elva is going to be the last dragon rider
I think that in the middle of the huge saphire there is a sword, and some where in one of the elven cities there is a(n) emrald with a green sword, or(the meaning of root has a different mean then that under a tree it could be talking about the desenents of the menoa) so the swords might be with the family. As for who the green weapon is for my guest is Arya or Roran.
Someone said that there are a clan of dragons in the spine I agree with that.
I dont agree with the destrtion of the elves.
Murtagh will probally die but who knows. Brom or any other people that was not capture and killed will not be in the vult of souls because they do not have soul to put in.
At the end of book 3 they are not going to Alelea they probally going to places they never been, to the home the dragons(where ever that is).
Who will die??? Well I think Orimis will come and fight in the last battle and get killed. Murtagh will probally turn on Galbatorix and then Galbatorix will kill Murtagh because he is stronger then Murtagh then Eragon will get mad by the death of his brother and kill Galbatorix with the help of th green dragon rider(Arya). Shuriekin will not die because Galbatorix is not his ture rider. Maybe he will pick pick a new rider (Roran). O and maybe Galder wont die for some reason, a spell maybe or maybe somthing else, and he might pick Orik to be his new rider.

I have a good idea were the The Voult of Souls is, it is Helgrind. Beacause in Mexico there is a rock called the Rock of Ships and Helgrind looks like that so you could call it the Rock of Souls see the similarity. The Voult of Souls is how the king is getting stronger ever year, he absorbs the souls that would also explain why Thorn grew so fast and why Murtagh became so strong. See the Ra'zac capture the people then kill them then puts there souls in to the vault. There for Brom won't be in there because they did not capture him. Other Dragon Riders, though, will be in there because the Ra'zac are Dragon hunters.
i think that if things go good with eragon and arya that when eragon fights murtagh or galbatorix that like either of them(galbatorix or murtagh) will aim and final attack on arya like either stabbing her or using magic and eragon gets in the way and saves her life and takes the hit while lot of elves and arya mother the elf queen are wacthing because they were fighting there in arya's hometown and eragon had to get there qucikly so he only took arya and flew there like as the battle would take place in arya's hometown then arya will finally get passsed the eragon being 17 and her being 100 and she will finally be toghter with eragon, or somthing around there, just guessing , after that oromis jumps in and heals eragon then eragon fights and kill either murtagh or galbatorix or he kills galbatorix and turns murtagh back to there side somehow, or the last thing i think of is that murtagh kills galbatorix as galbatorix is bout to kill eragon because he didnt want his last family member to die because of galbatorix, by the way im not the other anoymouses below me, ive come up of many more possiblitys but it would be to big to put on here
Ok, ive read almos all the coments left on this page.
Firs off, i think that arya is the next rider. Dont you think it would be kinda weird if saphera(sp?) mated w/ rorans dragon? i mean, as sapera said in eldest, that who ever eragon likes, saphera must too! that means that eragon would be around the other rider alot (roran). ALSO, if roran were to be the next rider, he would be seporated fron catrina(sp?)which he would not do. and if roran became rider, it would not compleat the relationship w/ erogon and arya and would leave it hanging. Where as if arya were to be the next rider, her and erogon could be together and fofill(sp?) the first vision that eragon had.
HELLO!!
most of the other things i agree with like oromis dying, erogon finding the wepond, whatever it may be, brom being his father (which was brilliant!), and most of the other stuff like roran being king and stuffff...
~~~~MAY YOUR SWARDS STAY SHARP!!~~~
hey anyone thiink of this? AT one of CP's interviews, he said Tornac (Murtaghs trainer in sowrds) will have a big story part. What if he gets the green egg from the Varden and becomes the rider? He's already skilled in sowrds, ( better than Eragon because Murtagh is better than Eragon and Tornac is better than Eragon. I think he becomes the rider aand well hes trainiing, Eragon and Arya find a colony of dragons in the spine and Arya gets one. Then Eragon gets a sowrd from the Meona roots and opens the vault of souls, which is a vault, of souls in helgrind that powers murtagh and galbatorix. When eragon opens it, he is able to bring back old riders including brom. This takes a lot of power away from Murtagh and Galbatorix. Then eragon and Arya fall in love and then well the war is ragind between the empire and the riders, eragon and arya go to Ur'bean and fight Galby, Murtagh kills himself to free himself then they kill Galby. Eragon and arya and the other elves leaveforever in that boat leaving Roran crying on the to rule Alagesia with Katrina. I cant wait for book 3 to come out!
Peace
See ya
does
any1 know when the book is coming out
ok, i just finished eldest and have a couple of ideas on what's gonna happen in the 3rd. i actually think there will be a 4th book. i agree that arya will become the next dragon riderand her and eragon will become partners and have children, binding them for all eternity. i think murtag will be freed of his oath by eragon using the word of absolute power. murtag will then join nasuada and become her husband and eventually king of algasea. roran will become a well known warrior but will die defending eragon by taking a magic attack in his stead and will be remebered by all the nations as a hero. i thing that morzan didnt actual inpregnate selena and that roran wasn't born of garrow. rather i think all three roran, murtag, and eregon are brothers, all born from selena and brom. its obvious that orik will be king of the dwarves and will back up eragon win he sieges urea- beane ,excuss spelling, and arya will become quien because her mom dies. she will lead campains to eradicate the dark empire. i agree that eragon will raise someone from the dead, who ,however, is to hard to figure out. i think there will be a 4th book so i say that the book ends with the begain ing of the siege of urae-bean.

I think the next dragon rider is going to be Arya. Green dragon, green eyes, eragon and saphira are affected by each others mates. Also i think murtagh and eragon are not really related( pg 545,546 in eldest) the bird blagden gives him a riddle i think is about his parents, but i'm too lazy to sit there and try to figure it out. Everyone thinks they eragon will bring brom back, but thats just too lame, for lack of a better word. if he can bring one person back, why not bring back all the dragon riders? that'd be stupid. he's gone. But i deifnately think that Eragon will find the elf lanuage name, which is the only way to destroy galbatorix, but in doing so, destroys the Empire. which is why he leaves and never returns. thats my prediction.
Okay, here's one theory:
Galbatorix and Eragon will duel and Eragon is about to die. Then Murtagh will sacrifice himself for Eragon, who becomes stronger because of that. Then Eragon will discover spells he never learned (Murtagh will possibly help him somehow) and kill Galbatorix.
Another theory:
Murtagh breaks an Oath and he and Galbatorix face off. Eragon will help Murtagh and they will combine their power and defeat Galbatorix together.
Oric CANT BE THE NEXT RIDER!!! dwarfas can`t be riders!!! who ever (no offence) said that oric could/ would be the next rider is really, sorry, DUMB!! in eragons vision in the chapter Deathwatch, he sees two TALL people getting on the boat!! and one was a WOMAN!! NOT A DWARF!!
again no offence but not a good idea...
Roran can't be the next dragon rider.
Unfortunately, he doesn't have the blood or the personality.
Even though there was character development around him, it led to the destruction of the twins, along with Eragon's regret and his gaining of knowledge.
On the other hand, Arya is a plausible guess for the new rider.
Orik WILL NOT be the new rider. He can't be because the dwarves were not added to the spell bonding humans, elves, and dragons.
Elva probably won't be either, because she already has the Gedwey Ignaesia.
You guys are forgetting that magic lingers even after someone is dead. Just because Hrothgar died doesn't mean that the walls of the dwarf cities are going to cave in. Thus, Murtagh is still bound to Galbotorix, even if galbatorix died.
I think that somebody is going to find wild dragons
i think that saphira is going to die, so eragon will get really sad and take murtagh's dragon. then he will find out that it is really brom trapped inside a dragon's body. then he will free him and brom raises saphira from the dead since he is already like... half dead.
i've read this book 12 times. i am SURE that this will happen. CP leaves so many clues
i think that when the wild dragons knew that galbatorix and morzorn were being evil, they shrunk themselves to the size of small house cats,('cause u know, strange things happen when there are dragons around, like saphira made brom's grave all sparkley) then they've lived in the spine in hiding for centuries. that's how galbatorix lost half his army in there. they were like "oh look at the cute little cuddily lizards" and then *sizzle* they were burned to a crisp.
then eragon and arya are going to find them and they will unshrink themselves and help all the good guys defeat galbatorix. then the soldiers would be like "OMG a scarey dragon!!!" and *sizzle* they would still be burned to a crisp!
thanks for reading, i am just throwing some ideas out there!!
Wow there are some great comments here!! Someone made a great point when they mentioned the fact that Eragon was supposed to be betrayed by someone from his family according to Angela's prediction. If what everyone is saying about Brom being Eragon's father is true, then it cant be Murtagh who betrays Eragon. It would have to be someone else. There are several possibilities for this person. It could be Roran or maybe Murtagh if Brom isnt Eragon's dad. Or it could be someone not yet introduced. This could be what CP was hinting at when he said more family membersmight be introduced, which would hint that Brom is indeed Eragon's father!!
hi, again, its me!! ok, i had another amazing revelation. what if... Eragon can go back in time!!! like there are ancient words to go back in time with, so he goes back in time, when saphira's dragon egg was first stolen and then he is able to get Thorn's egg and the green egg and transport them back through time, but he doesn't do anything with saphira's egg because then she wouldn't exsist. SO... then he is like hey murtagh!!! look touch this egg. and then thorn hatches for murtagh, but he's good! and then the green one hatches for arya and they all gang up and defeat galbatorix. yea...
hi, i was searching da web for some sites in predictions. THIS IS THE BEST PLACE I HAVE EVER BEEN, so far. thanks a ton corey and all you people who are making predictions. Good thinking, and this has been a fun place to visit
love ya all,
Brittney
I belive arya will become the green dragon's rider. roran shoudent because he has no rider relatives to get rider blood from. by relitives i mean blood relitives not jusi through marrage. also roran is human so makes his chances smaller. Arya is an elf and a girl and her magic is green. Elfs have a higher chance of getting dragons. The magic color is a good hint because all the riders magic color is the same as their dragons. (eragon has blue and shappeira is blue. murtagh's is red and thorn is red.) The girl thing is that if sapphiera mates with the green dragon eragon will feel love twords the dragon but since that cant be eragon would go to the next best thing the rider. if arya is the rider than she will feel love twords eragon and angela's prediction in the first book will come true.
has anybody givin thiught that brom is eragon's father and not morzan. It makes sence. If eragon was morzan's sun shouldn't his dragon be red and not blue. Brom's dragon was blue. Selena was away for meny monts wich is a very vauge dicription. so brom may have met selena during that time and they may have fallen in love and made eragon. just because murtagh said morzan was eragons father in the ancient language does not make it true. it is not possible to lie in the al but it is possible to tell untruths in it. Remeber in eldest at the blood celebration eragon reads that poem and the queen tells him that it is possible to tell untruths in al. Murtagh sees no reason why eragon cant be morzan's sun also so that is why he can say it in the al.
the trillogy is called inherantince so if eragon gets brom's sword and brom his his father than that is eragons inheratince. continuing of the last brom is eragons father comment the bird of the queen of the elves (sorry drawing blanks on the names) says that both father and sun are blind as bats. Morzan was never blind. Though brom was blind to morzan's betrayl and eragon was blind to murtagh's betrayl. Remeber solembum said to eragon when you need a wepon look undur the roots of the menoa tree. If you look in the dictionary the third deffintion is origin. Two elven familys are the origin of the menoa tree. Both have old riders swords. One will probably be brom's sword and will be ginin to eragon as his inharitance and the other will be givin to the rider of the green dragon.

i think that brom is eragons dad becaus when eragons mom came to eragons home town brom and selenea had eragon butt selenea had to go back to morzan so he wont get mad. so brom stayd back to protect eragon
Galbtorix is drawing his power through the vult of souls. He is sharing the power with murtagh. The reason why they gain power every year is becausr the ra'zac kill more people every year and that means more souls are sdded to the vault.
ok even though brom is eragons father murtagh is still eragons familly so his betrayl still follows angelas prediction. Eragon is murtagh's half brother because they have the same mom but different dads.
Golbtorix and murtagh get their power through the vult of souls because the ra'zac kill more people each year so more souls are added.
I think that Murtagh and Shruikan will band together with Eragon and Saphira against Thorn and Galbatorix. (Don't ask me why! Just a hunch!) I really like the idea of Katrina becoming the next Rider. Some people say it will be Arya, but i can NOTNOTNOT STAND her! GRR... I think the Vault of Souls will have the souls of the dead and the souls of the imprisoned by Galbatorix (MURTAGH). Eragon will probably get there, because he's been captured, and Galbatorix is playing mind games with him, like he sooo obviously did with Murtagh. That would explain Solumbum's prediction,too. I think the souls will tell Eragon the name of the ancient language IN the ancient language. That way, Eragon can free Murtagh and himself AND Shruikan, who Galbatorix has had under his control for over 100 years. Then, they with Saphira (and POSSIBLY Roran and Katrina, explaining why she said in Eldest that if they were together trying to get away from the king, she would stay. something like that. And Katrina may be the best Rider.) I think in the end, it will be Murtagh to kill Galbatorix, because he's strong (he beat Eragon AND Saphira on the burning plains) but Murtagh might also have to help kill Thorn, because Thorn looks pretty mean, and I think Thorn wanted to take Eragon back to Galbatorix. Orik will probably become the new dwarf king, and Oromsis (and through him, Glaedr) will die. Nasuada (if she lives) will go through BIG changes, most likely. Hey, when Eragon leaves, Murtagh and Nasuada could rule Alagasia together, because Nasuada's a GREAT leader, and in Eragon, they kinda liked each other. Also, Brom's last words to Eragon could be the name on the ancient language in the ancient language, which holds great power. The one thing I totally want though, is for Murtagh to really, truely be good, which I know he is. If Paolini messes that up, I will hate him forever.
Roran Arya or Orik will be the green Dragon rider. someone said that the dragon will be white not green, on offense, bot that was stupid. Why would the Dragon be white when the egg is green, also some one said that tornac will be the Green Rider how is that when he is DEAD. Alot of people say that there are Dragons in the spine i agree with that(but not that the dragons srunck)
I think that is a good idea cause i also looked into it and that makes perfect sences. Also how did Roran get to that river cause if you look at the map its almost impossible to get there. cause they came from behind. that didnt make much sences to me just saying.
I agree with all of you. i personally think that Eragon will leave his land but when The king dies the land can be called something else so he would step into his old country he would step into the same place but it would have a different name.
Just a thought!
i think that Durza will come back way stronger than ever, kill Galbatorix and take over Alagasia, then go after Eragon.
IF ANYONE CAN GIVE ME FEEDBACK ON SUM OF MY REVIEWS THAT WOULD BE GREAT. 1 OR 2 OF THEM SHOULD SAY JB 1 OF THE ON THE BOTTOM OF MY PREDICTION SAYS FROM JB AND THE 1 RIGHT BEFORE IS ONE OF MINE.
THANKS
I think the eragon will learn the name of the ancient which will alow him to have ultamate control of it alowing him the power to kill galbatorix. I also think the third book is called Empire.
eragon roran and murtagh are going to return the rider's.
the father of eragon is definatly brom, cuz if he wasnt eragon when he started training with eragon eragon would have been like "go away wierdo" but he wasn't which meens they have met before(when he was born)
the reason brom didn't raise him cuz when brom died all eragon would of done is just sad and to depressed to fight
and thats what saphira ment by "he told me many things that i will not tell you yet" (or sumthing like that)
