Eragon

[rael]

I read it and loved it the second was even better

[rael]

I think that he gave him maroon eyes because his eyes were brown in real life it might make sence that brown goes maroon and blue goes black do i make sense

[rael]

read it to them i would say i have a brother and a sister that have read it one was 9 and the other is 7 its a good idea

[ayra]

I cannot be Eragon's half-sister. The book plainly says who belongs to whom. And who is whose parents.

[me9996]

I was talking about the book Arya, not you.

But you know the strange systems the elves have insted of marrage and they never say that Morzan is human (At least I don't think so)

And I don't beleave they say who the book Aryas father is...

The difficulty with discussing Eragon with someone with the username "Arya"

[The last sane person]

No, the book does state it who is whose daughter and son. And yes, it says morzan is human. Er...wait, no the second book goes into who is the father/mother/brother/sister. Meh.

[Acalewia]

It does say who Arya's father is. He was an Elf and I can't remember his name off the top of my head.

[The last sane person]

Evandar is her fathers name

He is the elf king, whatshisface, Evandar.

I know you were talking about the book. I spell it differently.
Arya is in no way a relation to Eragon.
Although, he does fall head over heels for her and she does not.

[me9996]

It's just with all the star wars rip off things* it seems sorta logical that Arya and Eragon would be related in some way

It would explain a few things includeing Eragons name**

And now for a realy crackpot theory:

Here's my crackpot theory: That what's her name was realy Eragons mother and garrow mistook her for his sister...

Wow, that's realy crackpotish... Allthough untill the third book comes out it'll be hard to disproove


*Which are spoilers I don't care to list

**More spoilers

[The last sane person]

Er, I dont understand your theory.... The grammer has me in a tizzy.

But anyways, it's quite clear whom she is and is not related to. I know Paolini is cheesey, but he cant be THAT cheesey.


"Eragon I am your father and Arya is your sister and Murtagh is my cousin's uncle's room mate's girlfriend's brother!!!"

Sorry, but your username just became invalid. What in **Middle Earth** do you mean by that?
I don't see what you are getting at all.

me9996, you're crackpot theory lived up to its name. I'm not even sure how you came up with it. How could so many people be mistaken? Though it would make clearer the already clear relationship between them, I think it would put many other parts in shadow as to their definition. No examples at the front of my mind, but I hope you see my reasoning.

[The last sane person]

You have obviously never seen SpaceBalls, have you? It's a rip off on Star Wars' whole "Luke I am your father."

Christopher Paolini has amazingly managed to rip off LOTR, Dragon Riders of Pern and a touch of Star Wars. Especially when it comes to the whole "Surprise! You are the child of the enemy!" thing with the way he built his relationships.

It's rather hard to use such references with people who dont have the same knowledge base as ones self (!!!NOT!!! saying that you dont have knowledge, its just that we apperantly haven't watched the same stuff).

[me9996]

Okay, as people didn't quite understand my crackpot theory here is a clarified vertion
(In spoiler tags as I might be right )

Okay, trying to put this clearer this time: The idea this time is that Eragon are half-siblings. You know that these elves of Paolini's don't mate for life and that they sometime change mates or whatever they'd call them... Anyway what if what's-her-name the elven queen was Eragons mother and when trying to hide her child for whatever reson (Maybe Eragon being half-elvish by this theory) she was mistaken by Garrow for his sister and so Eragon was taken in... Explains Eragons name, and that he was exepted by Saphiria while all those others weren't (And by all chance she knew all along) and it also explain why he was welcomed so readily. This could also mean that Murtah was wrong and Eragon isn't related to him. I know it's crazy but why not? Very hard to say anything against once it's all layed out clear. But it is, still, a crackpot theory

There, that ought to explain my crackpot theory better.

Too true... Though, he might have been contorting the truth. Elves are great at that and they use the ancient language.

Don't forget "A Wizard of Earthsea" by Ursula K. LeGuin. He ripped that off too.

Derivative hack. Bah.

Also, the ancient language does not prevent someone from being wrong, just from lieing (If I understand it correctly)

For exemple, Eragon was able to read his poem out loud in the ancient language becuase it was "True to him" so why couldn't Murtah be wrong?

(Note: I'm not exactly thinking I'm right here but for the sake of argument - and a bit of fun...)

(Note2: But I could be right... )
