Avoid the barrows of Anghelm, where the one and only Urgal king, Kulkarvek, lies in state.— Umaroth, to Murtagh



The Barrows of Anghelm are an unspecified location mentioned by the Eldunarí Umaroth in Inheritance. Umaroth mentions to Murtagh and Thorn that, here, "the one and only Urgal king, Kulkarvek, lies in state". It is revealed by a colorized map on paolini.net that the Barrows of Anghelm are located in the Spine, north of the Bay of Fundor.

Real-universe connections[]

  • Kulkarvek, "the one and only Urgal king" who "lies in state"[note 1] seems to be in a similar position to that of Kal Torak in David Eddings' The Belgariad. Like Kulkarvek, Torak lay in state for many years, waiting to be awakened. However, it is unknown whether Kulkarvek waits to be awakened, too, or whether his body has merely been preserved and lies in the Barrows of Anghelm.
