Vervada was a wild female dragon and the mother of Saphira II. In the Ancient language, Vervada means "Stormcleaver".

Description[]

Over the years she bore many eggs, but gave only one to the Dragon Riders, which hatched for Eragon Bromsson. It is also known that her mate was a Rider's dragon named Iormúngr. She perished in the Fall of the Dragon Riders.

Vervada was the great-great-great-granddaughter of Raugmar the Black. Through him, she was a descendant of Belgabad, the largest and oldest wild dragon living at the time of the Fall.

Physical Appearance[]

When asked what color Vervada and Iormúngr were in a Q&A session, Christopher Paolini said, "I've yet to decide that, actually, but with a name like Vervada, I wouldn't be surprised if Saphira's mother was crimson."[2]

Vervada's crimson color would be lighter in tone and hue than the "ruby red" color of another red dragon in the series, Thorn.
