The Inheritance Club ~ Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr...

I really don't think it will be Roran. It seems to obvious. Maybe Arya, but I think most probably it will be Elva. She is quite unexpected, and remember she is growing faster than a normal human.

Spoiler:
 
Yeah it would be cool fir the end of the fourth book for there to be a 2 vs 2 dragon battle! Eragong and Someone vs Galbatorix and Murtag (unless Murtag turns good, which I think he will). That would be an amazing chapter! :)
 
But wait, I think we jsut missed a very crucial point.
In the first book, it becomes clear that a new rider must undergo months and months of training. This includes all the time it takes for the dragon to fully mature. If the new rider isn't under an oath to Galbatorix, then his/her dragon won't be forced to grow with spells like Thorn did. This would mean that the dragon and rider will have to spend many months together while the dragon grows and the rider learns to control magic. (Assuming that he/she isn't already a realized magician)
I don't think CP will spend 200 or so pages just explaining how the new rider and dragon grow and develop. Either the new rider will appear in the very beginning of the book, and they continue to learn as the events unfold and the battles occur, or the next rider will appear sometime in the end, when the events are dying down.
 
Yes, it would be very boring if that's what CP did. The new rider has to appear at the beginning of the book, or the end. If he/she poppec up in the middle, Eragon would be put under pressure, and it could ruin the whole book.
 
I think we need to liven this place up with a new topic... a double topic, actually.

What do you think Eragon's true name is? If you can't think of the entire thing, what do you think could be a part of it?
Throughout the books, I've noticed how Eragon seems strangely connected with the Brisingr spell. I think that 'fire' appears somewhere in his true name. I don't remember which book it was in, but when Eragon hears the word 'Brisingr', he shivers. The only explanation for this would be that this word appears somewhere in his true name. Also, Brisingr is the spell he learns first, back in the first book. Maybe this spell comes naturally to him because fire is somehow in his nature?
Spoiler for Brisingr:

Maybe, in the final book, CP will reveal what the name 'Eragon' means in the Ancient Language. (Not his true name, but the meaning of his given name). Topic 2:

What do you think is the meaning of the name 'Eragon'?
I think it might be 'Weilder of fire' or something.
 
Eragon does not shiver when he hears the word brisingr, but he is attached to it. His sword bursts into flames whenever says the word, but not anyone else. The sword shivers when some one says its name, but Eragon doesn't react in any peculiar way to the word Brisingr.

Eragon's true name? I done have a clue where to look. It could be wielder of fire, dragon tamer, blue fire, sharp stalker, anything related to Eragon. But really, I don't know.

The meaning of Eragon's name, such as Aiden means Little Fiery one? I thing it means Dragon Rider, and yes, I know that Shur'tugal means dragon rider, but that is in the Ancient Language. This is what his name means. Two different things.
 
Merry Boxing Day Everyone!

Sorry I wasn't on yesterday, I was busy with Christmas! But happy holidays to you all and the best in 2010!
 
You too, guys! Merry Christmas (belated) and have a happy new year!

Let's go off topic for a minute. Just this once :P

What are your New Year's resolutions?
Mine are to be more focused on my goals and generally try to be a better person. I usually spend some time thinking about my resolutions on the day of New Year's eve, but a little planning can't hurt.
 
I'll join, since I'm finished with all the books.

Spoiler:
What are your New Year's resolutions?

To study even more, and to never ever drink too much soda(because I've found out I'm hypergastric...)

All right, welcome to the club Viceroy Gawain! But you might want to put the ending of Brisingr in a spoiler tag... :/

I know why, but isn't everyone here finished with the books?

What are your New Year's resolutions?
To be as good as I can everywhere!
 
Well, I'm back. Sorry for my little...uh...absence. I was on vacation, so it was really hard to come on.

Anyway, the topic at hand:
I haven't really thought about it. It's probably simply gonna be to study harder in school and such.

All right, welcome back!

And it's great to hear everyone's resolutions. I made a list last year, but I lost it :P

Oh, and apparently, Christopher Paolini released a new book: Eragon's Guide to Alagaesia. (This was a while ago, but some may not have heard.) It's sort of a 'manual' on the series, and includes fun facts and drawings. Are any of you planning on getting this? Me no, but I might look at it when it comes to a bookstore near me. I don't really want to buy it, but I am curious as to what it contains.

Edit to the poster above: sure, you can join.

I haven't heard that book before. And that's really thoughtful of him, since many of the readers are confused.
 
What happened, why has this place gone inactive suddenly?

I have never heard of that book. It sound intriguing. I might buy it if I see it in a store that I can actually get to. I'll google it now though.
 
Alright, we need to get back, people, so I'll start a new topic.

What has been your favorite moment in the books so far?
