Hello friends! I'm somewhat new here, but I love the Inheritance Cycle books. I also think that I would like to make this wiki more active, because it's kinda quiet. So, what are your guy's thoughts on this? Let me know in the comments!

Does anyone know what these two words mean? I can’t find anything ab them. It’s driving me nuts

I've been thinking over the capabilities and rules of magic, and I think I've thought of an incredibly simple way to defeat Galbatorix. Considering the fact that most elves have the knowledge to do this, and have centuries of wisdom and experience, the fact that they didn't means they must've been really unintelligent.

My theory is based on these four facts:

You can draw energy from the minds of others.

There are thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, of elves.

You can enchant an item to perform a spell under certain conditions.

You can transport an item instantaneously.

Picture this: The elves, perhaps a few dozen of them, join minds and transmute a pile of plants into a very large diamond. Then, once or twice a week for the next few years, all the elves living in Ellesmera, or perhaps the gem is taken to different cities, transfer as much energy from their body without killing themselves as they can, in order to fill up the gems with RIDICULOUS quantities of energy.

Meanwhile, dozens of the elves greatest spellcasters are devising hundreds, perhaps thousands of low-energy, differently worded spells with which they can enchant the diamond with. When the gem was filled with sufficient amounts of energy, the gem would be enchanted with each of those thousands of spells, under the condition that when, and only when, the gem was instantaneously transported near Galbatorix, every single one of those spells, all with the potential to kill Galbatorix, would trigger at the same time, before Galbatorix had the slightest chance to defend himself.

Now, even if Galbatorix somehow had enough wards to block every single one of those spells, do you really think that, given the fact that the books specifically state that Eldunari take several years to develop their full strength (thus putting a severe limit on the amount of energy that Galbatorix might have), that Galbatorix's wards would contain enough energy to withstand the attack of the equivalent of perhaps a million times as much energy as is contained in a single elf's body (which, may I remind you, is many times more than in a human)?

Now, that last paragraph is based on hidden knowledge and likely wouldn't be known to the common elf, but think about Oromis, the 'wisest of the Dragon Riders', and Brom, who both had gems they've been filling with strength for decades? It would only take one moment of inspiration to realise they could do it with the support of the entire elven nation. If I, a humble human who hasn't even used magic, can think of such an approach, then it is obvious that the inhabitants of Alagaesia are idiots.

I have been running an Eragon D&D campaign for the last two years and I have a a few players that were lucky enough to roll high enough to have Dragon Eggs hatch for them. I have allowed my players to RP their dragons and I am finding that to be a mistake so here is my question. Would dragons treat each other like best friends/sisters and agree with there riders on almost everything? I know from the books that is not the case but the problem I am having is the players having their dragons share meals, hunt together, and gift each other things such as Grass bands. I find this a ridiculous concept and have come to ask the rest of the fandom for their thoughts. I am trying to make the players happy but this odd behavior of the dragons is really making things difficult. I have always seen the dragons as large intimidating beings that have great pride in their species so seeing them RP'd as cuddly friends is just hard.

I'm writing a thesis based on the tetralogy, about all the proper names in the books, and I wonder, what is the meaning behind the Inheritance (4th book), Eldest, Brisingr? While it's obvious that the first book was named after the main character, I haven't seen any info on why the other books received their names. Does anyone know?

Hello! I'm new here, currently reading book 2, and love the series soooooo much so far, and glad there is a wiki for it. I've been looking at this wiki for a couple of weeks and decided to introduce myself (kinda). Glad to be here! ;D

Im reading Murtagh now I love this series i'm happy there is a wiki for it

I'm new on Inheriwiki, but have been on fandom for a few years. I originally joined for Wings of Fire discussion (hence the SkyWing-esque name) and figuring out Warhammer lore (hence the T'au crest profile), but I'm mainly on Avatar: The Last Airbender wiki discussion page now. I hope I can find some fellow hardcore eragon fans!

I find it implausible that the half elf woman Bachel could create earthquakes powerful enough to shake a valley with the energy limits of magic in the series.

I’m worried that advanced healing spells in Eragon’s world require memorizing lots of mathematical formulas and that bothers me since I have always had trouble with math…..

I'm not too fond of the energy limits on magic in Inheritance. Yes I understand the need for limits to make the story interesting. But the energy limits are one limit that seems an unnecessary complication. I like it when magic can do the impossible.

I posted on Reddit about my feelings about energy limits of magic and I didn’t word it too well and got side tracked and the discussions on that site got a bit upsetting and some individuals were convinced that I didn’t understand the potential of Eragon magic……. And that was hurtful…..
