Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What does "Manin! Wyrda! Hugin!" mean?

Answer: Memory! Fate! Thought!

These are the words that Angela uses to tell Eragon's fortune in Teirm. He recognized them from the Ancient Language, which is how he knows the fortune telling to be true magic.

2. What was something that Eragon did not carve on Brom's tomb?

Answer: "...And a great friend... "

This is after he meets Murtagh, and right before Saphira turns the tomb to diamond; it would be hard to carve words into diamond. That is one of the few times Saphira uses magic. Another time is when she puts the star on the baby's forehead in Farthen Dur.

3. What is the name of the chapter in which Eragon rides Saphira bareback, before Eragon knows his house is destroyed?

Answer: Flight of Destiny

In this short chapter Eragon wants to warn Garrow about the Ra'zac, or 'strangers', and tell him about Saphira. However, when he goes to get Saphira she flies away with him on her back saying, "Oaths betrayed, souls killed, eggs shattered! Blood everywhere. Murderers!" As a consequence Garrow is in the house when the Ra' Zac come and he is killed.

4. While traveling through the Beor Mountains they discover that a column of Urgals is approaching. How do Eragon and Saphira slow the Urgals when approaching Farthen Dur with Murtagh?

Answer: They drop rocks on them.

First, while traveling to the Varden with Murtagh, Eragon attempts to use magic to tumble a boulder to them but forgets how far up he is, so loses much strength. Collapsing tunnels don't occur until later in the story.

5. How does Eragon kill the two Urgals who remain behind at Yazuac?

Answer: With an arrow he lights with magic

This is the first time Eragon uses magic. Brom says that he is likely the first Rider to have discovered the use of magic so early.

6. What distraction enables Eragon to finally kill Durza in Farthen Dur?

Answer: Arya, flying on Saphira, breaks Isidar Mithrim.

After Arya and Saphira break the Star Sapphire, some of the Dwarves are so upset. They say if would be better if Durza had killed Eragon. Hence, Saphira promises to resurrect the gem once the Dwarves have pieced it together.

7. What does the werecat Solembum tell Eragon in Tierm?

Answer: To look under the Menoa tree when he needs a weapon, and when all seems lost to speak his name to open the Vault of Souls.

The Witch Angela also foretells his future, saying it is one of the most tangled she has seen. She foretells a romance, a betrayal, a death, and a journey that will take him away from Alagaesia, never to return.

8. Someone touched consciousness with Eragon shortly after he slew Durza. What is not one of the names for him?

Answer: Ristvak' baen

It is only the touch of this consciousness that keeps Eragon holding on to life. That is the only reason Eragon lives through the misery Durza inflicted upon him.

9. What significant happening happens to Murtagh after the battle in "Eragon"?

Answer: Nothing.

Nothing happens to Murtagh in "Eragon". It is only in later books that more occurs.

10. What was not one of the Ra'zac's strengths or weaknesses as told to Eragon by Brom?

Answer: water

This is what Brom reveals to Eragon shortly after leaving Carvahall with him. At that time Eragon says he curious and must learn if he is to fight them. You learn that they are afraid of water later in the Inheritance Cycle.
