Anurin is a minor character in Christopher Paolini's Inheritance trilogy.

[edit] History

Anurin, an elf, was a leader of the Dragon Riders who lived hundreds of years before the story of Eragon, when the erstwhile human king, Palancar, was still alive. When Palancar was slain by a son and when violence became an inherent part of daily life in Palancar Valley, Anurin decided that humans should be allowed to become Dragon Riders to prevent such bloodshed and disputes. He convinced the then Elven monarch, Queen Tarmunora, to enter humans into the elf-dragon bond, and since then there have been many human Riders.

However, Anurin's decision was disapproved of by many elves (elves look down upon all other races except dragons). Tarmunora's successor, Queen Dellanir, disapproved of the decision so strongly that Anurin seceded from the Elven government and established the Riders on the western island of Vroengard, making the Dragon Riders an independent entity not specifically allied with any race or government. Although Dellanir accepted this decision, it still irked her that any authority could supersede her own.

Although, right up till Eragon's time, elves still question the wisdom of Anurin's decision, many others understand the value of having a third race enter into the bond, and also understand the importance of having independent Riders who deal with each government and race impassively and without bias, for the Riders' duty is to enforce law and order, and to help rulers keep the peace throughout the continent.
