Possible, but it never says in the books. I guess Murtagh would be free. Still, if he weren't, what do you think would happen then?

Speculation below, as I may be right I will put it in spoiler tags!

Zaphroid Be... I mean Betrox... Whatever the evil emperors name is... Would be overthrown by some act of his own folly, maybe he trys to cast something to distroy Asgardia...

Or maybe he teleports Eragon to some other world and gets killed in the prosess.

its Galbatorix the country is called Alageasia.

as to how Eragon could raise someone from the dead. My theory is he draw on nature for the power and would probably create a vast wasteland in the process but he could do it; not to mention the possibilitie that if only murtagh were killed he [Eragon] might be able to sync up with Thorn (Murtagh's dragon) for even more power.

Wait, there's a place called Asgardia? Rip off!

Speaking of rip-offs, I've heard Eragon borrows quite heavily from Tolkien. For those of you who have read it, is this true or are people just being mean?

Beleave it or not Asguard is from something tolkien borrowed from, norse mythology.

Anyway another thing no one has thought of, what if with the help of the elves Eragon just blows up the city Gabbligook is in, I bet Goblicky didn't make wards against that!

No its Alagaesia, see? http://www.alagaesia.com/

And yes it is heavily influenced by patron saint of fantasy Tolkien but to Paolini's credit he has created some fairly original creatures and with the exception of a few chapters a good story.

Yeah, some parts I'd like to just replace with Sapphira getting drunk so Eragon has to ask what happened...

yeah, the whole concept of a wasted dragon does kind of crack me up. *sapphira gets pulled over for flying drunk and burning up houses*

Oh yes, I was referring to Paolini getting Asgard(ia) from Norse mythology. Sorry about the confusion.

Tolkien used it too? Cool.

edit: Maybe I will read this book. So it's a pretty good read eh?

Tolken used Norse ideas involveing dwarves mostly (That I can see)
Anyway Eragon is not a book I'd recmend but if you've read it it's fun to talk about... It's entirely up to you however.

And would a drunk dragon breath fire better from all the flamable drink?

Yep. 'Cause Tolkien's dwarves were maggots at one time. *nods sagely

Ehh... if you don't recommend it, then I won't bother. Maybe later, after I've read my current book list. I do have a copy since my fiance accidentally stole one from his landlord's son.

Well, some of his things were in his room, which the landlord needed to rent out, so they put it all in a box for him, which he later picked up. It seems that the son left his book in his box - my fiance only found it later when he unpacked his box.
