HR

I am reading Eldest by Christopher Paolini.

I predict Eragon learns new spells from his new trainer, Osthato Chetowa, (Oromis). Was Oromis a Dragon Rider since he had a Dragon? Yes, Oromis was a rider once but the Forsworn-Riders that have become corrupted with Galbatorix's influence- have prevented him from using the better spells, but he can learn and teach them.

I had trouble with a made up word from the book, so i read around and found it meant "Shield". Why did Eragon curse a baby in Farthen Dur? Because he said in the ancient launguage, May luck and hapiness always follow you and may you be a shield from misfortune; and had no idea how to pronounce Skoliro (shielded). I infer that the little girl that Eragon accidently cursed will have a horrible life because of him. I vizualize Oromis yelling at Eragon because Saphira and Eragon haven't been learning when they were supposed to, also because Riders should know elven things like, What are the rules 3 for spotting downdrafts.

  1. Chase,

    I am confused. It doesn't sound like Eragon but an evil curse on the baby. "May luck and happiness always follow you and may you be a shield from misfortune" sounds pretty nice to me!
