Background • Eragon is a fifteen year old boy who lives with his uncle and cousin, since his parents “died”. One day, while out in the Spines, a forest in the mountain near where he lives, he finds a mysterious blue rock. That rock ends up being egg, which hatches and a dragon comes out. after this, he has a new major enemy, the king Galbatorix, and is being hunted down because of this dragon. This is where he quest begins, to find safety from the king and to possibly be the push to help lead in the rebellion against the current king and bring peace back to the land.
The Quest • After Eragon finds this egg and the dragon is hatched, his quest has begun. He is to travel to the Varden, a place where many who appose the current king, for a place of safety. Along the way, he also is charged with the task of saving an elf, which he later finds out to be the princess. These two quest are just some that feed into his ultimate quest; which is to defeat Galbatorix and bring the downfall of the current kingdom to bring peace once again to the kingdom.
Tests Along the Way • There are many test along the way in the first book for Eragon. He and his dragon, Saphira, must learn the way of dragon and rider and learn how to defend themselves from those who chase him. One of his first test is rescuing the elf, Arya. To rescue her, he must first defeat his main pursurer from the king, the Shade. He does end up defeating him for the time being, but will later be faced against the Shade in the end battle at the end of the book. He is also tested upon reaching the Varden to make sure his skill are what the Varden actually requires.
Mythical Creatures • There are many mythical creatures in this story, who both assist as well as work against Eragon. Working with him by the end, you have his dragon, the elves and dwarves. But against him, there are these things called Urgals, which are basically orges, and they fight against Eragon and his allies in the final battle.
Character Travels To Another World • Eragon doesn’t physically travel into a new world, but figuratively you could say that he does. He goes from living in a normal place with humans to interacting and/or being hunted down by mythical creatures. His basic travels are from his home to across the mountains to where the Varden lays.
Low Point • His lowest point in the first book happens in the beginning, after he comes back from the woods to find that the home he grew up in was wrecked and destroyed. He finds his uncle in a very bad condition which shortly results in his death. He doesn’t want to leave, blaming himself for his uncle’s death because he thought he could’ve saved him.
Character Resurrected • Eragon’s resurrection occurs quickly after. Due to his uncle’s death, a new spark to avenge his death takes over Eragon. This push continues throughout the story as he forges ahead to the Vardenand later on to the final battle of this book.
Restitution • His restitution in this book in the final battle where he finally kills the Shade that was after him. this bring him and the Varden temporary peace. This battle gives them time to regroup and strength the army of the Varden. This also gives Eragon time to learn the way of the elves so that he can become better in the next battle that is to come.
