Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. When Eragon and Arya attempt to scry Murtagh in the beginning of the book, what do they see?

Answer: Darkness

When Eragon attempts to scry Murtagh, the water turns black.

2. Who is the Rider that Eragon and Saphira meet in Ellesmera?

Answer: Oromis and Glaedr

Brom died in "Eragon" and his dragon Saphira died long before. Murtagh doesn't appear with Thorn until the end of the book, and Glabatorix stays very firmly where he is with Shruikan.

3. Oromis tells Eragon that his blessing in Tronjheim went horribly wrong because he forgot a suffix. Translated, what did the "blessing" actually mean?

Answer: May luck and happiness follow you and may you be a shield from misfortune

This messed-up blessing actually comes in handy when the girl saves Nasuada's life. At the end of the book Eragon promises Elva that he can redo the blessing and take away the ill effects.

4. In the last battle of the book, Eragon takes the strength of a dying creature to help him. What creature was this?

Answer: A horse

The horse had a spear stuck in it, and he took the horse's strength to fortify himself and stop the animal's suffering.

5. Who is Angela the witch based on?

Answer: The author's sister

Christopher Paolini admits in his acknowledgements that he based her on his sister Angela, and also comments upon the fact that his sister doesn't really seem to mind and actually helps him with some of the witch's dialogue.

6. When Eragon jumps off Saphira in the airborne battle with Murtagh and Thorn, what body part of the red dragon does he injure?

Answer: Back leg

Eragon is startled when Murtagh heals his dragon with just a few words.

7. What is Oromis's great weakness?

Answer: Magic is difficult for him

Oromis also says that even though he can only perform the smallest of spells, many of those spells layered on top of one another perform like one big enchantment.

8. Which of Vanir's bones does Eragon break in their last recorded fight?

Answer: Arm

Vanir then apologizes for the way he had so recently behaved towards the Rider. Eragon asks if Vanir wouold like him to heal the wound, but Vanir decides to keep it and let it heal on its own.

9. Who does Roran kill in the last battle?

Answer: The Twins

Good job, Roran!

10. What is the giant whirlpool Roran sails around (officially) called?

Answer: the Boar's Eye

When the captain says anyone who wants to sail closer than a mile to the Boar's Eye must be stark raving mad, whereupon Roran declares "Then I'm stark raving mad!" Again, good job Roran!
