otherwise known asThe Seven Promises of Eragon Shadeslayer and Saphira Bjartskular Eragon, Roran, and Saphira travel towards Helgrind, the mountain dwelling of the Ra'zac where Katrina is being held. They infiltrate the mountain, rescuing Katrina and killing one Ra'zac; but Eragon secretly finds Sloan, who was tortured and blinded for information, but finds that he cannot kill him. Telling Roran and Katrina that Sloan is dead, he sends them back to the Varden on Saphira, and remains in Helgrind to kill the remaining Ra'zac and rescue Sloan. The last Ra'zac attempts to strike a deal with Eragon, informing him that Galbatorix has almost found "the name", in exchange for him keeping alive the memory of the Ra'zac as the monsters of humanity's nightmares. Eragon refuses the deal and kills it. Later, while debating his course of action regarding Sloan, he discovers Sloan's true name and, thus, gains great power over him and causes pain to Sloan who cannot bear the revelation of who he truly is. After consulting with the elvish Queen Islanzandi, Eragon decides to place enchantments on Sloan that will allow him to reach sanctuary with the elves, on condition that he never see Katrina again and attempts to rectify his ways, instead of killing him for his betrayal. If he does, the elves agree to restore his sight. Arya, who went searching for Eragon after he fails to return with the others, meets Eragon in the town of Eastcroft and accompanies him to the Varden, where Roran and the villagers of Carvahall who had not settled in Surda have joined the war. Roran informs Eragon that he and Katrina wish to marry, and that Katrina is pregnant. The day of the wedding, a small unit of 300 soldiers from the Empire, including Murtagh and Thorn, attack the Varden. Again, Murtagh is difficult to beat with an apparent source of supernatural power aiding him, but Eragon, Arya and twelve elven spellcasters are able to combine their powers and best him: he retreats, but vows to return stronger than ever. Orrin, King of Surda, and his cavalry, meanwhile manage to destroy the enemy army, but discover that its soldiers are immune to pain, and can suffer the most greivous wounds without dying: only decapitation stops them. Roran and Katrina's marriage is then completed. Nasuada orders Eragon to attend the election of the new dwarf king as a member of Durgrimst Ingeitum, Saphira remaining behind in case Murtagh attempts to attack. Eragon is reunited with Orik, the new clan-chief of Durgrimst Ingeitum. An attempt is made on Eragon's life by a clan who have shown hostility towards Eragon and Saphira. Orik has the clan's leader, who orchestrated the attack, banished and he is elected the new king. Saphira then comes to Tronjeim, where she and Eragon are reunited. Meanwhile, Roran becomes involved in many Varden attacks on the Empire, all of which he acquits himself well in. However, in his second-last engagement, he is assigned to an incompetent general, Edric, who orders a full-scale charge into a force far bigger than the Varden and one that would have caused mass death and defeat. Roran refuses to let his regiment do this, starting a different plan that saves most of his men and entirely destroys the opposing force (Roran killing nearly 200 of these by himself) but he is later punished for his insubordination with fifty lashes on the whipping post. Later, Nasuada comes to him, apologizing for the necessity of the punishment, informs him that Edric has been decommissioned, and requests that he now take command of an entire force. Urgals, a race most of the races of Alagaseia despise, are amongst this group since Nasuada had earlier allowed their assistance before the Battle of the Burning Plains (Eldest) but the alliance is crumbling due to the mutual distrust of both races. Roran has to battle one of the Urgals to assert his authority during his first command; winning, the Urgals under his command do not question his leadership again and, later, fight alongside him at the siege of Feinster. Eragon and Saphira return to Ellesmera to complete their training. There, Eragon learns that Brom, his former mentor, was his mother's paramour and Eragon's true father, who fell in love and worked together to undermine and bring down Morzan, Galbatorix's right-hand man and his mother's former lover. The next day, Eragon is told the source of Galbatorix's power: many "heart of hearts", or Eldunari, a gemlike organ which can contain a dragon's consciousness if separated from the body. Glaedr explains that Galbatorix controls hundreds of these, taken from dragons he slew during the Fall, and these are the source of his power and presumably that of Murtagh. Eragon makes himself a new sword, being directed by the smith Rhunôn. Eragon names the sword "Brisingr", with the result that it emanates fire, its namesake, every time Eragon says its name. Glaedr gives his heart of hearts to Eragon and Saphira, who leave to help the Varden's siege on Feinster, one of the Empire's cities. Oromis and Glaedr join the elves in Gil'ead. Eragon and Saphira join the siege, where they are reunited with Arya. They find the leader of Feinster, Lady Lorana who is forced to follow Galbatorix but still requests assistance from Eragon and Arya to stop Feinster's magicians from creating a Shade. Arya kills the Shade with some assistance from Eragon, and with the surrender of Lorana, the siege is won. During the siege, Glaedr's heart of hearts sends his experiences to Eragon: During a battle against Thorn and Murtagh (who is later possessed by Galbatorix) Oromis and Glaedr are both killed, but Glaedr's existence continues in the Eldunari possessed by Eragon. After the battle, Eragon reveals the existence of the Eldunari, and the death of Oromis, to Nasuada; heartened by the revelation of Galbatorix's dependence on the Eldunari, and thus his weakness without them, Nasuada tells Eragon that the Varden plan to march to Belatona, then to Dras-Leona, then to Uru'baen, where they will slay the king. Eragon feels lost in the absence of a mentor, but is comforted by the fact that Galbatorix has at least one weakness which they intend to exploit in the upcoming confrontation.
Alagaësia
* Alagaësia - The fictional continent where the story takes place. * Du Weldenvarden - A vast forest in Northern Alagaesia. Home to the elves. The name means "The Guarding Forest" in the Ancient Language. * The Empire - The country ruled by the evil King Galbatorix. * Surda - The land of the resistance to the Empire; it lies far to the south.
Characters
* Ajihad - Leader of the Varden until his death in the first chapter of Eldest. Father of Nasuada and partially a mentor to Eragon. * Arya - The Elven princess rescued by Eragon, with whom he falls in love. Until she was ambushed and captured by Durza, she acted as a courier for Saphira's egg, carrying it between the elves and the Varden. She refuses to be with Eragon due to their duties, but warms to him at the end of Brisingr. * Brom - Former Dragon Rider and Eragon's mentor. Has defeated three of the Forsworn personally, including Morzan, and was responsible for the death of five others. He was Oromis's pupil as a Dragon Rider and later pronounced 'Elf Friend'. He was killed by the Ra'zac. He was the founder of the Varden and was revealed to be Eragon's father. * Durza - A "Shade"; a sorcerer subject to demonic possession as a result of having summoned three spirits too powerful for him to control. He was killed by Eragon. * Eragon - The protagonist. His quest begins when he finds a dragon egg during a hunting trip. He gradually learns how to fight, use magic, and read. Shares the name of the first Dragon Rider, and is known as "Shadeslayer", "Argetlam" ("silver hand"), and "Firesword". * Galbatorix - Antagonist of the story. Intitiator of the rebellion responsible for the Fall of the Riders. Now the king of the Empire, he has amassed unparallelled (and unnatural) power due to enslaving the dragons, resulting in no one being able to dethrone him for the last 100-odd years. Is described as cruel and merciless, with little regard for human life (or any other life, for that matter). * Garrow - uncle of Eragon, father of Roran, and brother of Selena. Killed by Ra'zac. * Glaedr - Oromis's golden dragon. Has lost one of his forelegs, and is eventually killed, reducing him to existence only inside his detached Eldunari. * Murtagh - The son of Morzan, and Eragon's older half-brother. Rescues Eragon and goes with him to Farthen Dûr. Later becomes a Rider who is forced to pledge allegiance to Galbatorix. Has a dragon named Thorn. * Nasuada - Daughter of Ajihad and leader of the Varden after Ajihad dies. * Oromis - The last of the Dragon Riders of old. He is an elf, hiding in Du Weldenvarden, and is Eragon's second teacher. He has an unexplained handicap which separates him from all but the smallest forms of magic. He is killed by Murtagh. Has a dragon named Glaedr. * Roran - Eragon's cousin, and (now) revolutionary leader of Carvahall. Meets Eragon again in Surda. Also known as Stronghammer for his ability to bash in next to anything with his trusted war hammer (which is really just an ordinary hammer, but nonetheless). He is married to Katrina in the third book. * Saphira - Eragon's blue dragon, sharing the name of Brom's former dragon, she is the last female dragon and the only dragon free from Galbatorix's control, other than Glaedr. Also known as "Bjartskular", "Irontooth", and "Flametongue".
Criticism
The books have been criticized for their derivative nature. The two most commonly discussed sources are Star Wars (due to numerous similarities in the plots[7]) and The Lord of the Rings (due to the setting, elven[8][9] and dwarven races,[8] the language[8] and character and place names). Even many positive reviews note that the work pulls strongly from the conventions of fantasy, in character, dialogue and concepts.[10] The reviews of Eldest were similar. Paolini was cited as having developed as a writer from Eragon, but also noted were strong use of The Empire Strikes Back as source material, as well as The Two Towers and Dune.[11] USAToday also cited strong echoes of Star Wars in Eragon's plot,[8] while Entertainment Weekly writes that the plot closely resembles that of the The Lord of the Rings.[12]
Description
The Inheritance Cycle is a series of literature fantasy novels by Christopher Paolini. It was titled the Inheritance Trilogy until Paolini's announcement on October 30, 2007 that there would be a fourth book. Set in the fictional world of Alagaësia (pronounced /æləˈɡeɪziə/), the novels focus on a teenage boy named Eragon and his dragon Saphira as he becomes one of the few remaining Dragon Riders, a legendary group who governed the land in times past but were almost destroyed by a Rider named Galbatorix and the Forsworn, a group of thirteen Riders who betrayed their fellow Riders by swearing fealty to Galbatorix. After the Fall, when most of the Riders were slain, Galbatorix claimed the throne of Alagaësia. The tyrant king's greatest fear is that a new Rider will rise up and usurp his position as king of the Empire. Through the efforts of the rebel group, the Varden, and their leader/founder, Brom (in collusion with Jeod and Hefring) a dragon egg is stolen from Galbatorix, and by a whim of fate, is thrust upon a young farmboy in Palancar Valley named Eragon. As Galbatorix attempts to capture Eragon and his dragon, Eragon begins a journey into the past and the future of Alagaësia. The first book in the series, Eragon, was self-published by Paolini's family in 2002 and re-published in 2003 by Knopf; it was followed by Eldest in 2005. Both were New York Times bestsellers[1][2] and together have sold more than 12.5 million copies worldwide.[3] The third book in the series, Brisingr, was published on September 20, 2008,[4] and publication details for the as-yet un-named fourth book have not been set.[3] The series was intended to be a trilogy, but this changed as Paolini decided that the story was too complex to conclude in one book. In 2006, Eragon was adapted into a feature film of the same name, starring Edward Speleers in the title role of Eragon, as well as Jeremy Irons, John Malkovich, Sienna Guillory, and Rachel Weisz.
Film adaptations
On December 15, 2006, a film adaptation of Eragon was released. The movie, starring Ed Speleers, Jeremy Irons, and John Malkovich, was produced by 20th Century Fox. Stefen Fangmeier, a first time director, made his directing debut by directing Eragon. The screenplay was written by Peter Buchman. Principal photography for the film took place in Hungary and Slovakia. A DVD of the movie was released March 20, 2007. The film performed modestly at the US Box Office, but received overwhelmingly bad reviews, thus throwing the possibility of future films into hiatus.
Geography
* Beor Mountains - The mountains underneath which the Dwarven cities and tunnels lie. Many times higher than the Spine, they lie along the southern edge of the Empire. The mountains average 10 miles in height and are supposedly the tallest in the world. In Brisingr, it is stated that in Urgal mythology, one of their Gods raised the mountains while fleeing from the great Dragon. * Carvahall - The small village where Eragon was raised by his Uncle Garrow. Found in Palancar Valley, the village is destroyed when Roran and the majority of the villagers have fled. * Farthen Dûr - A huge, hollow, almost impregnable mountain where the dwarf city Tronjheim is located, and where the Varden hid from the Empire. Found by the ancient Dwarf King Korgan while tunneling for gold. * Hadarac Desert - The vast desert stretching from the centre of Alagaësia up to the eastern edge that Eragon and Murtagh crossed to reach the Beor Mountains. It is almost impossible to cross. It was formerly a fertile land in which the dwarves lived, but slowly dried up, forcing them to move. It is therefore similar to the Sahara Desert. * The Spine - A mountain range that runs most of the vertical span of the Empire along the western coast. It is a mysterious place that many people fear and may be the home of the Urgals. It was the hiding place Eragon chooses for Saphira in the first book. * Urû'baen - The capital city of the Empire and where Galbatorix and his dragon, Shruikan, reside. Known as Ilirea, capital of the Broddring Kingdom, until Galbatorix seized power. * Ellesméra - The hidden capital city of the elves, it stands in the heart of Du Weldenvarden. Like most elf cities, it blends seamlessly into the forest, the homes grown out of ancient trees through magic. The elf queen, IslanzadÃ, mother of Arya, and most of her court of nobles reside here. Other notable inhabitants include Oromis and Glaedr, Rhunön the smith, Blagden the raven, Gilderien the Wise, Maud the werecat and the only two elf children currently alive, among others. Sloan, the former butcher of Carvahall, is sent here by Eragon to live in solitude.
Publication history
Homeschooled by his parents, Christopher Paolini graduated from high school at the age of fifteen, but felt he was not yet mature enough for college, so he wrote Eragon in his spare time. After writing the first draft for a year, he spent a second year rewriting it and fleshing out the story and characters, and then presented it to his parents. They had it self-published by the family publishing company, Paolini International, and Paolini then traveled around to various schools advertising his novel. By chance, the book was discovered by Alfred A. Knopf and was republished under Knopf in 2003. Eldest was released as a hardcover edition in August 2005. A limited edition, featuring extras such as a brief history of Alagaësia, a double-sided poster featuring Brom's ring & Glaedr, and a sneak peek of Brisingr was released in September 2006. A paperback edition was released in March 2007. The deluxe edition of Eldest had an excerpt from the third chapter of the third book. Brisingr (otherwise known asThe Seven Promises of Eragon Shadeslayer and Saphira Bjartskular) - a word meaning 'fire' in the fictional Ancient Language - was published on September 20 2008, as announced on October 30th, 2007 on Christopher Paolini's website, [1]. Also included in the announcement, both by Random House and in an internet video by Paolini himself, was the revelation that the Inheritance Trilogy would now contain four books instead of three, thus resulting in the renaming of the series to the Inheritance Cycle. Paolini also announced that he would end the third book with the death of a major character.[5]
Races
* Elves - The elves take cover in Du Weldenvaden and are the most magical race in the land other than dragons and spirits. The elves migrated to the land of dwarves and dragons apparently fleeing danger from across the sea. The elves formed a pact with the dragons, following the war between the elves and the dragons, in which Eragon I found a white dragon egg and raised it as a companion. In this pact the Dragon Riders were formed and magic began to take its effect on the elven race, giving them greater speed, strength, and magical abilities. Elves cannot grow beards or have any body hair, unless they choose to change their form. The elves are often referred to as "fair folk" and speak in the ancient language, the language of magic. * Dragons - The dragons are a species of enormous reptiles with magical properties. After their pact with the elves, and later humans, dragon eggs set aside for the Riders would only hatch for their chosen riders. The wild dragons would only be born under the right conditions to satisfy their growth. Once dragons reach a few months of age they can breathe fire. Dragons rely on magic in order to fly and never stop growing. If a dragon dies it can transfer its consciousness to its Elundari a gemlike organ found in the chest. The only dragons still alive are Saphira, Shruikan, Thorn, and one unhatched egg in the possession of Galbatorix. * Dwarves - A race older than the Elves, and of no small power. They are master smiths and builders, having constructed some of Alagaësia's most imposing structures, among them Tronjheim, the crown jewel of their achievement, a city in the shape of an artificial mountain of white marble one mile tall, hidden in the gargantuan crater of the dormant volcano, Farthen-Dur, in the Beor Mountains. The Dwarves are sheltered in the Beor Mountains where Orik has become their king, following Hrothgar's death. Orik is a friend and foster brother of Eragon, who was the first human to be adopted into a dwarf clan. The dwarves use their own language, in which they are called knurlagn. Due to their long memories, they have difficulty trusting any non-dwarf and some hate dragons due to Galbatorix and that wild dragons would sometimes attack them. This lingering hatred prevented them from being joined with the dragons in the elven blood oath. Another example of their hatred of dragons is Az Sweldn Rak Anhuin, a dwarven clan that mines amythest and was almost wiped out in the fall of the riders, declaring themselves enemies of Eragon and their leader trying to assasinate him which resulted in the clans banishment. Banishment in dwarven lands is severe, returning is punishable by death and they are treated like they no longer exist at all; they are also given a title called Vargrimstn. * Ra'zac - The anthropophagous pupae of a race of dragonlike predators known as the Lethrblaka and are described as being the natural predator of humans due to being designed to effectively hunt them. The Ra'zac are hunted to near extinction during the age of the Riders; two Ra'zac, along with their full-grown parents, survive, and are then employed as Galbatorix's elite hunters. The Ra'zac are unable to use magic, cannot swim, have a putrid breath which immobilizes humans, weakens dwarves, but has no effect on elves, and have greater speed and strength than a human. When Eragon and Roran invade Helgrind, one Ra'zac is killed by Roran, and one is killed by Eragon, rendering their species extinct, their parents the Lethrblaka having been slain in the same battle by the dragon, Saphira. * Lethrblaka - The adult Ra'zac. Once a Ra'zac enters adulthood, they shed their beetle-like exterior and emerge as gargantuan, pterosaur-like creatures, with leathery skin, wings, and a longer beak. Two survive the Riders' attempt to render the species extinct, and serve as the mounts for the Ra'zac, their offspring. Both of the Lethrblaka are killed by Saphira. * Urgals - A tribal race of creatures having orc or troll-like qualities; fought against other races for many years, serving Galbatorix and Durza. Released when Eragon killed Durza. At the battle on the Burning Plains in 'Eldest', one tribe of Urgals allied with the Varden. The name is said to be derived from their own term for themselves, "Urgralgra". Urgals are generally seen as little more than beasts by the other races of Alagaësia, due mainly to their society being based around defeating as many opponents as possible, regardless of their race or intent, an unfortunate trait that has led to centuries of Urgals raiding humans and the humans raiding them in return, creating a deeply rooted bitterness. * Kull - Elite Urgal warriors, used as shock troops and bodyguards to chieftains (who themselves are Kull, too). An Urgal is considered Kull when it grows over eight feet tall (which is large even by Urgal standards). * Spirits - Strange and mysterious beings without physical bodies, who exist as concentrations of unknown energies. Although fundamentally different from the other races of Alagaesia to the point of being unfathomable to them, most spirits are not dangerous or evil, and none heed the mortal world on their own. Sorcerers strive to control spirits to do their bidding because of the spirits' great potential of raw power and close link to magic; sometimes, they summon too strong a spirit and it overwhelms them. If this spirit has an evil disposition, it will possess the sorcerer and a Shade is created. Spirits in Alagaesia are not in linked to the souls of deceased mortals. * Shades - Creatures of twisted magic, who are created when sorcerers summon spirits too powerful for them to control. The sorcerers are then possessed by the spirits, becoming essentially immortal, exceptionally strong both physically and in magical prowess, and inherently evil. Shades can only be slain by a thrust through the heart, upon which the Shade disintegrates, freeing the spirits. Four warriors have killed a Shade and survived: Laetri the Elf, Irnstad the Rider, Eragon the Rider, and Arya the Elf (the last two now twice, both times in cooperation). * Grey Folk - Possibly the oldest civilized race in Alagaesia, and the most powerful, the Grey Folk created the Ancient Language and connected it to magic to prevent accidental discharges of magical energy; an effort that supposedly drained the vitality of their race. They then "faded" - most likely died out or intermingled with the other races. Little record of their time survived in Alagaësia.

Synopsis
In the fictional land of Alagaësia, there was once an organization of people who governed the country and brought peace to the world. This group was known as the Dragon Riders, for they rode Dragons, with which they had long since made a great bond. One Dragon Rider named Galbatorix had his dragon slain by the Urgals which drove him mad. Denied another Dragon by the Council of Elder Riders, Galbatorix blamed the Council for the death of his dragon and sought to destroy the Dragon Riders. He made and alliance with a young rider, and with his help slew an elder rider, after which he slew his ally. Then, with the help of Morzan, the first of the thirteen Forsworn, he stole a black dragon, named Shruikan (possibly a reference to Japanese "throwing stars" shuriken). He forced Shruikan to do his bidding, and later destroyed the Riders and their dragons. Since then, he has ruled Alagaësia as a tyrannical King. While an accurate time-line of various events is as yet unavailable, Paolini has hinted on an interview that based on character Elain's pregnancy, we may infer the events of the first three books to have happened within a span of months.[6]
