 DOESN'T IT STRIKE YOU AS WEIRD THAT...
Doesn't it strike you weird that: - Ajihad, Angela and Hrothgar all knew about the existence of Murtagh? - Ajihad knew the identifying feature that would point him out as Morzan's son - Morzan was summoned away to hunt for Saphira's egg, and Selena vanished shortly after and not even Galbatorix could find her. - Selena returned before word of Morzan and the others death reaches Galbatorix. - She returns many months after, her health was poor, "as if she suffered a great illness" and died within 14 days of her return. (effects of a spell?????) - Angela tells us that; "He [Brom] loved a woman, but it was his affection that was her undoing." Was this woman Selena, and her "undoing" maybe her participation in providing, or faciliting the theft of Saphira's egg, and maybe affected by any protection spells the egg may have had?
I'm just posing the same questions and thoughts which have surfaced as discussing the books with Ann-Marie, (my crazy daughter).
What do you guys make of these?

I have always belived Ajihad had more to hide about his past thany many. Not many people can survive a fight with a shade and know the voice of Morzan without it being one of the last things they heard. Also, I agree Selena may have giving information about how to steal the egg, but I don't think she participated in it. Her undoing was Brom's affection. It led her to give birth to a child and maybe even die from it days later.

Totally agree, Ajihad had too many secrets. No wonder he was Brom's friend. Proof of his mysterious ways is the fact that no one can tell where he comes from or who was Nasuada's mother.
I also think that she was an informant to the Varden in revenge to the horrible treatment she received from Morzan and knowing that Brom was his enemy may had made it more appealing. But, I don't know, maybe once she met Brom, they fell in love and we know the rest.
She returns many months after, her health was poor, "as if she suffered a great illness" and died within 14 days of her return.
That part leads me to believe that she was not ill because of giving birth to Eragon, but like some type of curse or something. Or maybe she died of heartache having to give up her second child in order to protect him. But if this was the case, since she was weak, Galbatorix could have easily invaded her mind and wrestle the information from her.

Giving birth to Eragon maybe have cause her death in this way. She could have had a rough birthing and then had to leave that or the next day and the return trip was to rough on her and add the fact she had to say goodbye to the man she really loved and her youngest son. All of this could have weighed down upon her causing her death.

I agree she probably did suffer a kind of depression afterwards, plus maybe even some kind of sickness from birth. This would give credit to how Brom's love was her downfall.

Well people who think Morzan is the father say he was to keep an eye on his enemies son. That isn't true for one, because Saphira said it and also how would he know Eragon would become a rider. He just wanted to watch out for his son like any loving father would.

YESSSSSSSSS! I am inclined to believe he was waiting in Carvalhall untill he was called upon by the Varden and in the meantime he could watch his son grow from afar. We should keep in mind that Eragon mentioned that Brom, the storyteller, was kind of grumpy, but always had time for him.

I dont think Brom is Eragons father. Why wouldnt he take care of him himself?
If magical powers are a genetic determined thing, it was likely that Eragon had magical gifts, because Morzan was very powerfull, and he is his father. I think this is how Brom thought. So he just kept an eye on him to find out if he was gifted, and what side he was likely to join.
Maybe Brom promised Selena to keep and eye on her son, in exchange of valuable informations?

On the other hand if Brom is Eragon's father he would also have the genetics in magic. If you recall, Brom hid in Carvahall after he slew Morzan, this was so because waiting to be called in by the Varden in case the stolen egg hatched.
Somehow, (to me at least) it doesn't seem in character of Brom to do that type of emotional bribing. His comment on "...well enough to miss her when she was gone" points to this effect.

It is possible that Brom is Eragon's father, but there are .. 'lines' in the book that say otherwise.
I would have to agree that it is true. When Murtagh states that they are 'brothers' it could be that their mothers are the same, but their father is different, thus meaning they are half brothers, and when Murtagh stated it in the ancient language, it would still be true.
If you get where i'm going...

If Brom was eragons father, and he was over 100 when he died, then even 85 is too old to make babies, even for a rider without a dragon.

Are you forgetting that Morzan was older than Brom; and he fathered Morzan? If this is a fact, then it is assumed that Brom would have been able to father Eragon as he is like 2 yrs younger than Murtagh! Besides, we do not know the physiological effects of the joining of the dragons and the Riders.

 Umm
You are correct. I suppose I was wrong then... But Brom didn't have a dragon, so the effects on him lessened. x.x

ya, but morzan still had his dragon so therefore he was immortal, and he could still work lots of magic, unlike brom, who couldn't work much magic. i'm not saying brom wasn't eragons father, but it could be anyone amost. but not morzan.

Well, Ajihad is black, so I would say probably not... Even if Eragon's mother was white and his father was black, he would be mixed race. And if anyone would prefer me to use the word "coloured" than black, just say and I'll change it

Also there is a part near the end of the second book where Roran ask Eragon if, I cant remember her name but, Ajihad's daughter was wearing make up or somthing cause he had never seen any one with that texture of skin.

Yeah, I personelly dont like to make predictions. I like to see it when it happens. I dont even want to see a trailer until I see it. I have made a vow to myself if I go to a movie and the trailer is at the begging or I see it on TV, I will shut my eyes and plug my ears.

I just wanted to say, that if you ever forget Nasuada's name again, I will cut a whole in your neck and rearange your throat so your heart stops everytime you breath. So anyway, how's the weather?

Shadowagent, where did you get that avatar? My band teacher wrote that on a piece of paper and stuck it to the band hall door. It was awesome!!
Remember, Eragon was a farm boy. So his brown skin could very well be a tan.

Well, if I have my mental pictures correct, by the end of Eldest must have been very "light skinned" seeing he was more of a elf than the farmboy who left Carvahll, after the "Gift of the Dragons".

Perhaps there is more to the story than one thinks.... What if Galbatorix DID find Selena. What if she was with Brom? She was pregnant with Eragon... So she ran to her brother. She knew Galbatorix was once again getting close, so she ran again, but he found her and punished her which is why she was sick to the point of death.

I'm just posing the same questions and thoughts which have surfaced as discussing the books with Ann-Marie, (my crazy daughter). What do you guys make of these?
im only interested in the fact that galby couldnt find selena. is there someone powerful enough 2 hide from galby? im so, how come they havent faced him?

I'm really curious about all of these. I did find it odd that Ajihad, Angela and Hrothgar knew about Murtagh, and how did Ajihad know about Murtaghs scar?! What if there is someone out there powerful enough to hide Selena from Galby. I mean Murtagh had constantly been on the move so he wouldn't be found by Galby, so how did she do it?

i think the varden should have known about murtagh's existance. i mean, morzan's(1st, im sticking 2 what the book says until il says otherwise) son should have a great impact on the varden. and who would want to keep morzan's son a secret anyway?

Um, that's actually a very popular theory. *awkward silence*
OK so anyway up until a couple of days ago I would highly believed that Morzan was Eragon's father. But I just thought of something the other day that I know sounds insane but just hear me out.
You how Solemnbum has only ever talked to 3 people other than Angela. Selena, Eragon, and a blind beggar
Now think about it, Solemnbum must be very selective and it must follow a pattern. So, maybe the pattern is Eragon's direct family! I think the blind beggar maybe Eragon's dad.
Remember Blagden's riddle? "Son and father alike, both as blind as a bat". OK while he may have meant this figuratively for Eragon, Blagden may have meant it literally for the blind beggar.
Now, who is this blind beggar anyways? You tell me. Also this is just a weird idea and I have not thought it out much, sorry.

on page 2 of this discussion (a very loose term) every one was talking about the effects on age of reproduction. Maybe losing your dragon makes you sterile?

Methinks thaty after angela read selena's future she must have been so shocked about giving birth to the first dragon rider of a new generation that she killed herself soon after giving birth so the knowledge that eragon would be a dragon rider wouldn't reach galby before eragon had actually become a rider. Selena killed herself for the good of alagaesia, knowing that eragon would be a weapon against galby. That is probably why he was named eragon anyway, because he is the leader of a new generation of riders, just like the first eragon was the leader of the first riders.

Morzan is out of the question for eragon's dad, I don't think you have nothin to worry about.

You can't put Morzan out of the running! There are just as many facts supporting the opinion that Morzan is Eragon's father as there are supporting Brom. I really just don't know who is the father. Maybe they should get a DNA test lol  .

F'lar05 (in a different forum) wrote: Brom is Eragons father IMO. I've already given numerous reasons on this site that backs up this theory. One of which is Blagden's three riddles.
Here is an example: Son alike Father, both as blind as bats. This states that Eragon like Brom is blind to the betrayls of those close to them(Murtagh and Morzan). Blagden was not talking about Morzan as he has never met him before and Morzan was never blind he knew what he was doing. Brom just couldn't see the evil in his best friend. Eragon just like Brom couldn't see the evil in the one who had become his best friend and then turns out to be his half-brother.
The only evidence that supports Morzan being his father is Murtagh stating it in the AL. Now you can say you can't lie in the AL, BUT you can state something that you belive to be true even if it isn't. Murtagh knew they shared the same father so why shouldn't they share the same father. Even Galbatorix thinks this is true.
Plus, why would Brom go live in the same village as his enemy who would never have contact with the egg as far as he knew. He risked his life doing this. Only a loving father who would want to be near his son to watch him grow up, would risk his life like that. Understand what F'lar'05 wrote about the AL. The "blind as bats" riddle is one riddle that Blagden used, here's another:
Quote: While two may share two, And one of two is certainly one, One might be two.
This means (Everything I added is in brackets): While two [people, Eragon and Murtagh,] may share two [parents], And one [parent, the mother, Selena,] of [the] two [parents] is certainly one [of the parents], One [of the parents, the father(s)] might be two [different people, Brom, father of Eragon, and Morzan, father of Murtagh]Princess Elayna (in a different forum) wrote: *Sighs* WHY would Brom reveal he was a Dragon Rider INSTEAD of him being Eragon's father? I mean, on his deathbed, wouldn't Eragon be better off learning that Brom was his father instead of Brom being a Dragon Rider?
What point would there be if Brom was instead of Morzan? What would Brom being Eragon's father cause in the third book that'll be worth noting?
Nothing... It'll just be boring.
Imagine you never new who your father was and you know this stranger and he's friendly to you. You would never imagine that he is your father. And then imagine he was dying. If he told you he was your father you would completely go out of your mind. And then imagine that Brom told Eragon and he knew that Brom was his father. If someone that worked for Galbatorix would enter Eragon's mind and find this out, Galbatorix would hear of this and would assume that Eragon was raised by Brom and was taught about magic and trained as a Rider, by Brom, one who was powerful enough to kill eight of the forsworn, then at the battle at the end Eldest, Galbatorix would come himself to fight and it would have been a forgone conclusion.

[quote="JonathanZ"]I dont think Brom is Eragons father. Why wouldnt he take care of him himself?
If magical powers are a genetic determined thing, it was likely that Eragon had magical gifts, because Morzan was very powerfull, and he is his father. I think this is how Brom thought. So he just kept an eye on him to find out if he was gifted, and what side he was likely to join.
Maybe Brom promised Selena to keep and eye on her son, in exchange of valuable informations?[/quote]
I like that idea, Its very intresting! However I am kind of leaning towards the Brom being Eragons father theory but there are quite a few holes in the reasoning for that argument. Though as for why Brom wouldnt take care of him I think that he might have thought announcing himself as Eragons father would be endangering Eragon if the Empire ever foudn out. Maybe? I dont know, guess we'll have to wait for book three! Place your bets everyone!

another way of looking at it is that brom could also be morzan, think about it when morzan went to hunt for the egg brom pops out of no where and people say that brom killed morzan bt was it in an open field so people accually saw them fight?
