As you may know, the final book of the Inheritance Cycle will be released on the 8th of November. I wanted to make a thread to discuss the book, what will happen and what people think about it. For those who don't know, Inheritance is the 4th book of the Eragon series.

Here are a list of things that have been announced:

- Inheritance will have a green dragon on the cover, nicknamed "Greeni" by fans.

- Inheritance will introduce a new Dragon Rider, and whether this rider fights for The Empire or the Varden is still undetermined.

- There is a chapter called "Brains!" in the book, but there are no zombies in it.

- Murtagh will have a much larger role than he had before.

- The origin of Werecats will be thoroughly explored.

- The remaining prophesies of Angela will be fulfilled, namely:
Eragon's vision of him and another leaving Alagaësia forever with their dragons.

- The Rock of Kuthian and the Vault of Souls will be revealed.

- Eragon will have an "epic romance" ("I cannot say if this passion will end happily, but your love is of noble birth and heritage. She is powerful, wise, and beautiful beyond compare." - Angela, Eragon... it is arguable that this romance/passion has already existed for Arya with a bad ending)

- In the March 2009 Alagaesia.com newsletter by Christopher Paolini revealed that the section he was working on "involves a flaming spear, a duel to the death, magic, elves, and werecats."

- At May 29, 2010, Paolini was in the middle of a section containing "a one-sided game of knucklebones, an evil assassin, bags of flour, a water-born battering ram, streets lined with lead, a knife in the back, and the death of a character."

- A new kind of creature will appear.

- New important characters are, amongst others:
Lord Bradburn, a nobleman
Grimrr Halfpaw, King of Werecats


The following new information was confirmed [8] in an author interview conducted as one-week question and answer session at Random Buzzers:
Paolini finished the book. Furthermore, the book is named and has been since Brisingr was finished, but it is up to the publisher to decide when to release the title. The cover artwork, featuring an emerald dragon, is completed.

- It is likely that Eragon will learn more about the nature of Spirits.

- There are some "interesting bits" with Murtagh.
- The fates of Roran and Nasuada have been greatly changed from the original plan for those characters.
- Eragon's Guide to Alagaësia, mainly the written sections, contains some important hints about what will happen in this book.

- Something related to Brom coming back to life will occur, but perhaps in a way nobody expects.
- Oromis will appear in some way.

- There is "more to Angela than meets the eye" and she will have "several crowning moments of awesomeness."

- The book will reveal the extent and limitations of Eragon's new sword Brisingr to catch fire.

- No more secret Dragon Riders will be discovered.

- The two women blessed by Eragon in Brisingr, "Wolf Eyes" and "Bladesinger" will make an appearance.

- The seven words in the Ancient Language revealed to Eragon by Brom will be addressed, as will Solembum's riddle.

- Undbitr will appear.

- Vanir will appear.

- There may be chapters from Murtagh's point of view.

- There will be an elven death and subsequent burial ceremony.

I don't know how many people have actually read the books or even care but i felt like discussing the final book of what may happen. Such as who the final rider will be? Which elf will die? Who will Eragon leave with ect...

So anyone else? xd

Well, i think the last rider will be Roran or Arya.

I think Arya's mother, the elf queen will be the one to die.

As for the rest i am unsure, any other opinions.

@zeny - go read you fool xd

Roran won't be a rider 'cause of the lame ass 'eternal love' he has going on. It'd kind of ruin it if Roran outlived Katrina for infinite, though I guess it would make sense for the three 'brothers' to all be riders.

My money's on Arya for the next rider position, but that's just me.

Anyone else wanna see Galbatorix go on a rampage?

8th November already??? Dam!!!

For the next rider i'd say Arya. It would be a poetic way to end the series with her and eragon riding both into the sunset and the unknown... lol

Shame on you

I forgot that riders live for ever and it would ruin rorans love thing he has going on

Already? i've been waiting like 2 years for this book >_<

Anyway, i have my doubt's about it being Arya, for the fact that it's so obvious in a way. I wanna be surprised, such as a Kull or a dwarf some how becoming the final rider and then Eragon rides off with his half brother or something xd

final rider will probably be roran
I sincerely hope that the final rider isn't Roran, and I highly doubt that it will be. That would, for several reasons, make me lose a crapload of interest and faith in the story. It's just so... expected, so expected that if Paolini does it then it would just be an incredibly stupid move. The rider, without a doubt, should be someone that we never met before; a new character altogether.

Anyway, I've been waiting for this book for like three years now, so close to the end... T_T And Brom and Oromis will be back! :T_T: They can be back as corpses for all I care, just the fact that they'll still play some role in the book is enough for me. I've actually been wondering if it's possible for a dragon rider's spirit to be channeled through their dragon's Eldunari. o_O That would be a sensible way to bring the two of them back; I imagine that Galbatorix still has Brom's dragon's Eldunari somewhere, assuming that he didn't already give it to Murtagh.

Me too :T_T: but i didn't check the release date!!!!

hum...it could be anyone. However, he will leave with murtagh once murtagh turns to the light side of the force and helps finish galbatorix.

You share my feelings :T_T:

But maybe Brom's dragon's Eldunari was given to Murtagh but it somehow betrays him and helps Eragon defeat him by weakening thorn ect... or that Brom found a way for Eragon to get it himself in the end? That would be cool. Just knowing those two will be back in some way or form will make this book amazing xd

It's just a question of weather the battle against Galbatorix will be enough... and not like in Brisingr when the new shade died in like 2 pages >_<

OK, I have three predictions. One you all will probably call me a retard for. One you will be like yeah, but that would just be too easy. And the other.....Hmmmmmm, well I didnt think of that.

But my theories all pretty much incorporate Boy Dragon Girl Dragonrider. U_U

FIRST
To be completely honest, I think Elva (Child that Eragon "cursed") will actually be the new Dragon Rider.

Yes, she already has an ability of her own, but she would be an ideal candidate.

Hears everyone scream........ BUT SHE'S PRACTICALLY A BABY!!!!
All the more reason IMO. She will have time to grow with her dragon. Like when a dragon is born, Elva is much more mature in mind than in body. What better thing to do than to give her a dragon that shares the same mature mind as she does from birth?

Boy Dragon, Girl Dragonrider U_U

SECOND
Nasuada becomes a Dragon Rider.....too Easy...yeah I know. 2 Dragon Riders for the Varden, 2 for Galbatorix's side. Balance it all out. Blah blah blah.

Boy dragon, Girl Dragonrider U_U

THIRD
NOT RORAN.....but that doesnt mean not the same bloodline. I believe that after the war is over, Eragon will make Roran King, and Katrina queen by proxy. I know Roran said he would take Katrina back to the Spine, but I doubt that will actually occur. Roran is too good of a warrior and person with King-like leadership (capable of obtaining followers who would lay down their lives for him in an instant. One even offered to kill their commander so he wouldnt get the 30 or so lashings that he did for disobeying a direct order).

HOWEVER. The child of Roran and Katrina would be born and touch the green egg at the very end of the book. I seriously doubt that they will have the green dragon introduced early in the book, but instead will make it much closer to the end this way. Leaving room for perhaps another series.

This in fact would be the reason that Eragon would leave. To go off and train with Saphira (with Arya in tow) so that they could be around to train Roranson or Roransdaughter (thats my pick...boy dragon, girl Dragonrider U_U) when he/She grows. If Murtagh is still living for some odd reason, then he would probably leave with Eragon as well. Galbatorixs dragon will reside in its Eldunari. Galbatorix will die. When Eragon comes back, he will be more knowledgable and then will train Roranson/Rorandaughter.

Saphira and Thorn, while gone, will bear more Dragon Eggs.
Saphira, when she comes back, will mate with Roranson/Roransdaugthers dragon.

Elva then will simply be trained by Angela like Angela said she would have to be. Nasuada would then become Rorans General, as there would be no more need for the Varden. Or the Varden will stay where they are and form their own barriers. Otik is already King. Yeah, like mentioned above, Arya's mother will probably die. Actually I think the Elves except for Arya will proabably be almost wiped out completely. Arya then leads the Elves away from Algae, which is why she goes with Eragon and takes her people with her. They will be the guardians for Saphira and Thorns children along with all of the Eldunari of the old Dragons. Removing them from Algae removes temptation from soon to be Dragonriders that would become like Galbatorix.

All the information after the baby's touching the egg will be given as an Epilogue with a 10 maybe 15 year timeskip. U_U

first is possible, but i can't see elva as a rider. It would be cool that she could grow with her dragon and even be healed and changed by the dragons, but i don't see it happening.

Second, just isn't her character to be a rider. If she doesn't become the queen then i would say she either dies, or makes it so that the people rule there own world, like a senate.

Third, i don't think the story will go that far ahead. I think the final dragon will be revealed in the war, before roran gains his child. Roran to be king is quite possible and i think Eragon will leave with Arya, but with Arya as the final rider, leaving the world without any riders (Murtagh and Galbatorix die, Murtagh helping Eragon or saving him)

Makes Urgals hold ritual with Murtagh like Elves did with Eragon to turn him into half Urgal/Half human Rider. lol.

Hmmmmmm :wonders: Would that change his name and free him from Galbatorix?
That could work, but is ones name defined by personality or appearance and abilities too?

What if eragon used Murtaghs real name xD
