Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What was the first spell Brom taught Eragon?

Answer: Stenr Risa

Stenr Risa means "stone rise". This is the first spell taught to Eragon by Brom but the first spell used by Eragon is 'Brisingr' which means fire. Brom was mad at Eragon for using this spell because it drained away so much of Eragon's energy. He used it whilst they were fighting Urgals.

2. What is 'Du Namar Aurboda'?

Answer: Banishing of the names

It is the reason no one remembers Morzan's dragon's name. Galbatorix's second dragon escaped this punishment because he didn't choose to serve Galbatorix. Galbatorix killed his Rider and used powerful magic to twist the dragon's mind and make him obey Galbatorix.

3. Who were Saphira's parents?

Answer: Iorm�ngr and Vervada

Iorm�ngr had a Rider whereas Vervada was a wild dragon. Saphira tells Eragon that Iorm�ngr was an amazing and brave dragon and that she is proud to call him father.

4. What is the name of Orik's wife?

Answer: Hvedra

Hvedra welcomes Eragon as if he is her kin. She was described as very pretty with rosy cheeks. Their marriage was delayed due to Orik having to accompany Eragon to Du Weldenvarden.

5. Who was Gilderien the Wise?

Answer: Guardian of Ellesm�ra

Gilderien is first mentioned in "Eldest" and in "Brisingr" he was not very happy with Eragon and Saphira for causing the Menoa tree to wake up. Everyone has to get Gilderien's approval before entering Ellesm�ra.

6. Where is the Menoa Tree?

Answer: Du Weldenvarden

The Menoa Tree is the heart of the forest of Du Weldenvarden. It is mentioned in folk stories that the tree is actually an elf maiden called Linn�a.

7. Orik is the chief of which clan?

Answer: D�rgrimst Ingeitum

D�rgrimst Ingeitum means 'the firesmiths'. The symbol of the clan is described to be a hammer surrounded by twelve stars. Before Orik, the chief of the clan was the late Hrothgar.

8. When did Murtagh take Zar'roc?

Answer: Battle of the Burning Plains

Murtagh first appears in the battle on a red dragon which is then mentioned as Thorn. During the battle between Eragon and Murtagh, Murtagh was overpowering Eragon with an inhumane strength. After he took Zar'roc from Eragon, he told him that they were actually brothers because both of their mothers was the same woman; Selena.

9. Which city is the capital city of the dwarves?

Answer: Tronjheim

Tronjheim is located within Farthen D�r. Tronjheim is capable of housing the entire nation of dwarves which is ironic becasue the name means 'The Helm of Giants'.

10. When did the Forsworn kill Brom's dragon?

Answer: Battle of Doru Araeba

Brom's dragon hatched for him when he was merely a child. The dragon was a female so Brom named her Saphira. During the battle, Brom not only lost his Dragon he also lost his sword, Undbitr.
