Du Vrangr Gata is a group of magic users, previously commanded by the twins. Trianna, a powerful sorceress, is now their leader, and is put on a mission to create lace to help fund the war efforts against the Empire.

5. "Du Weldenvarden", in the ancient language, means "Elves' Homeland."

Du Weldenvarden actually means "The Guarding Forest." Du Weldenvarden is a forest in the northern part of Alagaesia in which the Elves reside.

6. What is the proper translation of the word "Shur'tugal?"

Shur'tugal is a word that Eragon used to help get him into the Varden when stuck on the banks of Kostha-merna, on the front steps of the Varden.

Deloi is usually used in combination with other words to make a spell workable. For example, "thrysta deloi" means compress the earth.

8. If my hands are covered with "bl�dh", what colour are they?

Answer: Red

The word "bl�dh" sounds like the English word "blood" and that's what it means. It can be used as a composite word like "bl�dhren" which means "blood-oath" or "bl�dhgarm" which means "blood-wolf".

9. In the ancient language, what does "Varden" mean?

Slytha is the word Eragon uses to cause the warrior in Gil'lead to fall asleep, after Murtagh's plea to save him. I hope you enjoyed my quiz!
