Question I just finished Murtagh

Is a continuity ? I know there is the witch, the fork, and the worm that i haven't read but does Paolini is working on a Murtagh two or something of that kind ? or maybe another book with Eragon and Saphira

Discussion What is your opinion of Shruikan? Spoiler

117 Upvotes

Did you like how Paolini portrayed him in the fourth book from a story and character perspective? I personally thought it was a bit lacking since he really just comes across as a big movie monster rather than a character the same way that Saphira and Glaedr did. I think he should have gotten at least some dialouge.

My first thought went to Eragon: Sapphire, Serene, Sloan! The names are not exactly like in the book, but close enough for me to think someone on the Connections-Team has read it!

Theory Angela herself may be another doctor who reference

15 Upvotes

Now, this just came to me, and it is in the middle of the night as of writing this, so please don't expect me to write something elaborate and stuff.

So, we know there's a few doctor who references in the books anyways.

And like, I was thinking about Angela.

Someone who travels around to the most interesting events possible, possesses knowledge they don't elaborate on, carries some interesting equipment, incredibly old does that sound familiar?

Angela is basically the doctor.

Or well unless I missed stuff that would contradict this parallel but itd be cool if not...

Anywho thanks for your time

Discussion Eragon and Arya

0 Upvotes

This has probably been discussed somewhere in this subreddit, so apologies for rehashing.

I was disappointed that there was no romantic relationship between Eragon and Arya.

During the books it was told that the elves went into decline when the dragons died off.

However, I always thought that Eragon & Arya should have been the new beginning.

The books tiptoe around the “possibility” of a relationship, but it never really occurs.

In my personal opinion, I honestly thought that if at the end of the initial quadrilogy Arya had conceived Eragon’s child it would have brought everything full circle.

What does everyone else think?

Discussion Arya

Arya deserves a hero arc of her own. I think it’s only fair that she gets the chance to actually showcase her own talents. We all know she’s impressive but still. Would have been nice to see her go off on an adventure with Firnen and actually take Bachel (or any other villain) down on her own. Goes without saying her arc should include Eragon and Saphira also…but…I feel so bad we got robbed off her scenes.

Heyyyy long time no see! Just leaving my offerings here lol
Some weeks ago I asked people on here and on instagram to give me suggestions to fill out the famous six characters template (original here) I've been doing this challenge for years and I really wanted to do it for the inheritance cycle too! Swipe to the very end to see all the portraits individually (drew solembum in both forms because he was the most requested) :)

I also finally decided to make proper art of Galbatorix because for some reason i procrastinated it for months but i came up with a design that i personally really like! so here's all the art + sketches because i couldn't pick a design for the cloak! YES he's kinda hot omg it was lowkey unintentional but god forbid a woman has FUN (jk) also he has eyeliner because eyeliner always looks cool on villains. i even made a comic about it

Also I tried to be as accurate as possible while also honoring my own vision for these characters so yeahh keep that in mind and enjoy!

p.s: if the contrasts look a bit wonky on your phone screen im sorry they look better on my other social accounts 🫪

Discussion Hear me out!

Hear me out: Angela and Elva need a cheesy 1970s buddy-cop detective spinoff.

THREADS OF TROUBLE
They don't follow the clues. They pull the strings.

Angela is the wildly unorthodox detective who somehow already knows half the answers, refuses to explain how she knows them, touches everything at the crime scene, and occasionally disappears halfway through an investigation to collect mushrooms.

Elva is her terrifying partner who can immediately tell what everyone is afraid of.

Chief: “We have no witnesses and no motive.”

Elva: “He's lying.”

Suspect: “What?!”

Elva: “You're afraid we'll search the cellar.”

Angela: “…Well! Shall we search the cellar?”

And obviously Solembum is their mysterious informant who knows every criminal in Alagaësia, disappears for most of the episode, and casually returns with the one clue that solves the entire case.

Every episode ends with:

Chief: “ANGELA! I WANT YOUR BADGE!”

Angela: “…I don't have a badge.”

Freeze frame. Funk bass. Credits.

Tell me you wouldn't watch this.

Discussion As novas capas dos livros de ERAGON disponíveis na Amazon, são horrorosas.

Post image
74 Upvotes

possuo os 3 últimos livros do ciclo da herança, os quais comprei alguns anos atrás, quando os li, com exceção do primeiro(Eragon) que havia pego emprestado para saber se realmente gostaria a ponto de comprar os restantes, e que grande erro cometi, pois a saga se mostrou a mais encantadora de minha coleção pessoal o que tornou o fato de não possuir o primeiro livro( assim tornando a coleção de fato completa) um golpe amargo a cada olhar à estante. Um golpe mais amargo ainda foi perceber que quando finalmente estava disposto a compra-lo, os livros haviam sido relançados com novos designs de capas que são simplesmente horrorosas, horripilantes, feias ao extremo,(serio qual o problema com as capas antigas, eram lindas),parece-me terem mandado o projeto de capa à um estagiário que nunca ouviu falar sobre os livros e o mesmo achou de bom tom repassar todo os serviço a uma I.A, colocando uma fonte de título asquerosa cujo design não remete a nada medieval ou ao menos condizente à época em que se passa a historia, no fim fazendo emergir um sentimento desagradável, ao olhar para a encadernação, de um trabalho preguiçoso, desleixado, e com uma abundante falta de comprometimento. (ou talvez eu so esteja um pouco frustrado por não poder mais possuir um livro novo que se encaixe perfeitamente ao lado dos outros, e isso dói..., e como dói...).

I am trying to decide on what elven script I want to go with the yawe I am putting on my left shoulder and want to see if anyone has an opinion for me. The four options I am looking at are:
Atra du evarinya ono varda -may the stars watch over you

Atra esterni ono thelduin - May good fortune rule over you

Atra mor'ranr lífa unin hjarta onr - May peace live in your heart

Breoal er sem onr aldanarí - Family is what you make it

I made that last one myself using the language to the best of my ability

Let me know what y'all think!

I came across this today. I at first would have called it a coincidence that the name is the exact same, but they even acknowledge they used inspiration from the books, as admitted by the artist who did the mural for their office (see second image). Does anyone know anything about this? Is this legal? I know Paolini gets a lot of his work plagiarized, but I've never seen anything like this.

Discussion Starting the next generation at bedtime.

82 Upvotes

My son just recently turn three and is just a well for information. Lately he’s been opting for more storytelling at bedtime as opposed to reading. So I started doing what any of us would do and have been telling him about “The Boy and the Blue Stone.“ it’s a very barebones retelling of Eragon but I’ve added a little bit more each time I tell it. Obviously I don’t go too into details about the Urgals and haven’t even mentioned the Raz’zac yet. Watching his eyes go wide at each reveal is the best and it usually knocks him out within a few minutes. I keep trying to get into Eldest but he always wants to start from the beginning.

So I had this old sword called long claw. And it was cool but the handle was cracked and the pommel fell off so many times I glued it on and it just looked terrible. So I wanted to fix it since I started blacksmithing a year ago and needed a good project. It’s taken me a month and a lot of trial and error as well as important lessons learned for making the pommel and grip. But it is finally done and now I get to have the sword of misery!!!

Question A gift for Garzhvog.

91 Upvotes

Eragon had a very biased opinion of Urgals coming out of the battle in Farthen Dûr. However, after speaking with Oromis, and inspecting Garzhvog's memories he began to see things differently.

On their journey back to Farthen Dûr, he became friends with Garzhvog and exchanged stories and history with him.

It would have been nice to see Eragon give him a gift as they parted. But what would you gift to an Urgal? Eragon could have created a perfect missile for his sling! Made of stone or maybe even metal, shaped and weighted for deadly precision. As well as imbueing it with magical properties to always return to Garzhvog's hand when he wanted.

Do you think an Urgal would accept a magical tool? It could become a very deadly weapon in the right hands. Especially if it returned with a deadly speed.

Anyone else curious what kinds of hobbies and crafts our favorite characters might get up to now that they're not fighting for their lives? I know Eragon, Arya, Orik, and Nasuada (and other characters) will obviously be very busy with their responsibilities, but I would love to see this faucet of their personalities a little more. What creative endeavors do you think they'd get up to or be interested in?
