I had to edit the entire thing. Come on guys, don't any of you like Eragon???? I had to completely edit Eragon, Eldest and now this.--Shreshth91($ |-| r 3 $ |-| t |-|) 3 July 2005 12:02 (UTC)

I had to edit this entire thing again, because there were some truly APPALLING spelling mistakes in the Personality section. For God's sake, if you intend to edit the Wikipedia, please make sure that you've been to middle school at least, whoever added those terrible sentences. -- Emmaking, July 5th 2006

Well, I don't know anyone who's in love with Eragon...I'm in love with Murtagh and a lot of people are too - The person without an account

[edit] Stub Created

I've created an inheritence trilogy stub.

Template:Inheritance-stub

So from now instead of putting {{lit-stub}}, you can type {{inheritance-stub}}. Feel free to make any improvements.--May the Force be with you! Shreshth91($ |-| r 3 $ |-| t |-|) 16:14, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

P.S. Sorry about this page being added to the [[Category:Inheritance trilogy stubs]]

[edit] Pictures?

Everyone: on this page, on all the characters' pages and on other pages related to the Eragon movie, I think we could do with some pictures of the characters, movie posters, etc. I know that the Eragon Page on canmag.com www.canmag.com has some pictures of characters, as well as one large picture featuring many main characters. Also, a picture of Saphira from the film would be nice, if you can find one. I'm sure these pictures are readily available through Google Image Search and the like. The reason I'm not adding these pictures myself is because, well, I'm not very computer-apt. I am lost when it comes to code. So I'm sure someone much more computer and code - literate can add these and greatly improve the quality of these pages. Thank you. Demosthenes 1 22:36, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Will do. Dragix 06:23, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

They do not have pics out of saphira.

Now they do, but very few

[edit] "House"

Does the infobox refer to "house" as family name or the building? I don't understand why his house (as in the building) is important.--Spyderchan 01:14, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Maybe the template was copied from that of a Harry Potter charachter? --Queenrani 02:45, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

I don't know about that. Now that I think about it, it's on the Arya and Murtagh pages too, so I'll just change it to "house of morzan."--Spyderchan 03:57, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Personality

Personality generally refers to how a person acts, thinks, and feels, not thier physical strenghts and abilities. This section, however, especially under the "Strengths" subcategory, also lists non-personality charachteristics such as Eragon's ability to use magic and his skills as a swordsman. Although it does seem like both personality and non-personality charachteristics could fit in one section, it would need a more apt title. Perhaps something like "Traits and Abilities"? --Queenrani 03:44, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reorder Sections

Should Eragon's role in 'Eragon' be covered before his role in 'Eldest'?

Yes, I think it should. I don't why they were put in that order in the first place... It appears that when first added, the Eldest section was second, then later for some reason the Eragon section was delted entirely, and then readded in a different place. I'll fix it. --Queenrani 01:04, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fan link section

Why should there be links to small websites that have almost no userbase and least of all any content. There is so many inrelevant links that it makes the bottom of the page ugly and unreadable. The websites that should be there are the ones that are listed on the officials books website or http://alagaesia.com/activities_links.htm, unless that website can provide relevant information.--louispq 7:04, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

I personally found some of the sites quite interesting/entertaining (especially Anti-Shturgal), and liked the links, but you do have a point in saying that they really were mostly too small or insignificant. --Queenrani 02:27, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Role's

Shouldn't the spoiler or plot reaviler be added to the Role in Eragon and Eldest sections? Azizza 23:04, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A little too harsh?

"In Eragon, he acts like a shallow, selfish and angry teenager, which is natural and quite understandable, seeing as he is a teenager throughout the trilogy." This sentence bothers me for 2 reasons: One, because it's very harsh, and Two, because I don't find any reference at all to Eragon behaving so in the book.

I completely agree, I might be able to tweak it a bit to make it sound nicer. Arya 16:30, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Possesions

Do we even need a "Posessions" section? It seems unnecessary, and is long and confused by the presence of former possesions (ie Cadoc and Zarroc) and non-possesions (Saphira is not OWNED, she is his companion). --Queenrani 03:06, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm in agreement here; this section is long-winded and unnecessary. Snowbeat 22:48, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Romantic attachments section

Somebody deleted the entire section. I reverted the edit, as no justification for the edit was made.

It's to one-sided. It says, "Eragon will most likely end up with Arya", which is speculation. It's only proof is the dream, and in that dream you don't know who the people are, and the only reason given for one to be Arya, is the SPECULATION, that Arya is the next rider. This section should be taken off until an official relationship is announced.

I think that while the section is biased, it is still preferable to a non-encyclopedic, first-person statement saying that the section that isn't there is biased. The article should be reverted to its full length, and be tagged as "neutrality disputed" until it is cleaned up. --Queenrani 17:10, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

All you'd have to do is get rid of the third paragraph. All it's "evidence" is speculation on an event that was written to be foggy and unknown even to the character. I'll do it, but it'll probably go back up.

Maybe the section should be subdivided. Right now, it's a little convoluted. It could be a lot clearer if there was a section for the prophecy and dream, a section for Arya, a section for Nasuada, etc. --70.135.91.229 01:09, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Hopefully that looks a little better. Any objections to my work on it? Arya 19:59, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Actually I re-edited it again because I thought it would look better that way. I used the same basic information, just in a different format. Arya 22:28, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pronunciation Guide

Does anyone know how to pronounce this guy's name??? I've heard it so many different ways... (some of which get easily confused with LotR) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.19.29.144 (talk) 05:08, 23 January 2007 (UTC).

Ummm..... if you mean Eragon its true pronuciation looks like this ER-A-GON. It does NOT sound like dragon with an e in front of it. P.S.- Whoever is writing the annoying messages about Arya and Eragon..... WE GET IT! YOU THINK THEY SHOULD BE TOGETHER! Knock it off. Please. Arya 16:37, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Criticism

I've removed the criticism, based on the argument that anti-shurtugal.com is not a reliable source. (unfortunately). I've incorporate the info from the NY times in the character overview.--Spiderchan 02:33, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 'Role In Eldest' Section

I've been cleaning that up A LOT. Some one went in and just made some frighting spelling mistakes and decided to quote entire lines in links. They also messed up the entire section in terms of time relvencies. Please save me and others work (and time!} and try to write more accuratly. PLEASE! Arya 23:57, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

i'l shelp you do this thing Arya to solve this problem foring you. Smith Jones 00:44, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

What? I didn't get any of that. Arya 20:09, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

i'm triyng to help you do the article by fixing it. i put the links in like you adsked abd i did some work on the other sections that you talked aobut. Smith Jones 22:52, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
