A sketch of Aroughs' layout, by Christopher Paolini.

Aroughs was a city in southern Alagaësia, near Feinster. It was the southernmost city in the Broddring Empire. It was also mentioned that a swamp upon which


magic abounds freely was located near this port city. The natural magic was known only as "werelights". Due to its location, it was captured by the Varden during the Rider War. In Brisingr, it was mentioned by Nasuada that she was sending troops to capture the city, while she and King Orrin marched towards Feinster.

In Inheritance, Roran led an attack on the city by smashing the walls using barges as battering rams and breakin through the canal.

Much of the city's population were descendants of the humans that sailed to Alagaësia. At the end of the war, Aroughs was given to Surda by a treaty between Nasuada and King Orrin.

Appearance[]

Aroughs was a city built (possibly by Dwarves) on a swamp with two tiers and high, white, pristine walls. It was noted in Inheritance that it had main gates and several smaller sluice gates that allowed water from the canals to flow in.
