 Interesting Questions, Facts, and Information
 Brisingr
| Who do Roran, Eragon and Saphira rescue in Helgrind at the beginning of the book? | Brisingr
|
Katrina. Katrina, Sloan's daughter and Roran's betrothed. In the last book (Eldest) Katrina was captured by the Ra'zac and taken to Helgrind. Eragon promised to help Roran rescue her at the end of the second book, "Eldest".
| Does Sloan make the journey to Du Weldenvarden? | Brisingr
|
Yes. After Eragon, Roran and Saphira rescue Katrina, Eragon wants to save Sloan (Katrina's father), but because Sloan betrayed Carvahall, Eragon thought it wasn't a good idea to take him back to the Varden. Eragon then discovers Sloans true name (which helps him to take control of Sloan) and forces Sloan to travel to Du Weldenvarden where the elves will take care of him and he won't be able to disrupt Katrina's and Roran's life.
| Who is the girl that Eragon finds in Wayfarers' House in Eastcroft? | Brisingr
|
Arya. Because Eragon wants to help Sloan, without Roran or Katrina finding out, he makes Saphira take Roran and Katrina back to the Varden while he goes back into Helgrind and Rescues Sloan. When Saphira reaches the Varden and everyone notices Eragon is not with her Arya takes off to go and find him. Eragon and Arya find each other in Wayfarer's House in Eastcroft.
Eragon. Roran want to marry Katrina but doesn't have any land or a house to offer her. He believes the best gift would be to have a Dragon Rider marry them. Eragon is also Roran's only remaining relative besides Murtagh.

|

| Why is it so difficult for the Varden's warriors to kill Galbatorix's soldiers? | Brisingr
|
Galbatorix put a spell on them so they don't feel pain. Galbatorix cast a spell to stop the soldiers feeling pain. Because these soldiers can't feel pain, whenever they are stabbed they can't feel it so they continue fighting. This makes it hard for the Varden to kill them because whenever they strike their enemy they just keep coming back for more.
| Did Roran agree to have 30 lashes for disobeying his Captain? | Brisingr
|
No. While on a mission from Nasuada, Roran's captain finds himself in a deadly situation. All the Varden warriors look to Roran for help, so Roran decides to disobey his captain in order to save him. Because he disobeyed even though he saved the Varden he still had to be punished so that others among the Varden don't follow his example. Nasuada gives him three options for punishment. One is death (which she wouldn't do because he is Eragon's cousin), two is 30 lashes and he is stripped from his rank in the Varden and three is 50 lashes and he keeps his rank in the Varden. Roran thought it best to have 50 lashes and stay with the Varden than to have 30 and not be with the Varden.
| What does Eragon name his sword that he helps to forge in Ellesmera? | Brisingr
|
Brisingr. Brisingr means fire and every time Eragon says the name of his sword it bursts into flames. Za'roc is Morzan's sword, Undbitr is Brom's sword and Termerlein is owned by an elf in Ellesmera.

Oromis and Murtagh fight long and hard but Murtagh starts to lose strength. Oromis believes he is going to win the fight until Galbatorix steps in and takes control of Murtagh's body. Galbatorix kills Oromis and thinks he killed Glaedr but Glaedr can't completely die because he gave his Eldunari (heart of hearts) to Eragon, which means his body is dead but his spirit is still alive.
Brom. In the second book (Eldest) The Twins discover Murtagh's and Eragon's mother is the same person, so they assumed that Morzan was also Eragon's Father. Little did they know that after Murtagh was born Eragon's mother Selena feel in love with Brom who disguises himself as a servant to enter the castle to see her. One day Morzan sent Selena on a mission (as his Black Hand). Selena took the chance to hide in Carvahall where her brother Garrow lived. There she gave birth to Eragon and asked Garrow to take care of him. When Brom found out he had a son, he hid in Carvahall and watched over him disguised as a storyteller.
