Growing up under the care of his Uncle Garrow and Cousin Roran, Eragon is a 15-year-old farm hand in Carvahall, named for the very first Dragon Rider. When the battle ends, closing the first chapter in the Inheritance trilogy, Eragon is preparing to go study with the elves. However, the battle with the Shade leaves him horribly disfigured and in pain. During the battle, the Urgals are close to defeating the Varden until Eragon defeats the Shade they encountered earlier. They learn for sure that Galbatorix is in league with the dark forces from a stolen messenge and soon they are in a battle with the Urgal. Given a short rest, the three along with the Varden and their allies must prepare for the arrival of the Urgal as the approach the mountain. The Vardens’ fortress, located in the depths of the Beor Mountains, is host to groups of dwarves, elves, and Varden, who are in league, having sent Saphira’s egg to The Spine where Eragon found it. On the way to the Varden, Eragon must deal with an immense influx of foes and dangers, including an army of Urgals chasing them all the way there. The revalation of such a horrible creature loose upon the world causes the three to assume that Galbatorix is in league with darker forces yet. During the rescue, the three encounter Shade, a horrible creature that should not be awake. Murtagh and Saphira strike the prison though and manage to resuce both Eragon and the elf. When Eragon is captured, he finally meets her, both of them imprisoned together.
