Don't you think learning that an old story teller that Eragon has known his whole life is a rider would shock him more?

yes it would because eragon hasn't ever thought of brom being closer linked to him than just as a friend. And eragon would grieve that he has lost his father aswell.

Well I think that what he wrote on Brom's tomb had significance- "like a father to me" don't you think?

Yeah, I remember thinking it strange as I read that.
I'm really not sure any more about who his father is... I think it might be the blind beggar Angela mentioned in Eragon

Yes, and if you remember sapphira had also said that brom had told her more secrets and made her promise not to tell eragon until its absolutly necessary.

Well surely she wouldn't go on letting Eragon think Morzan is his father, if Brom is his father and Saphira knows, she is sure to tell him soon. If it's not mentioned in the first couple of chapters of the third book, either Morzan really is Eragon's father, or it's Brom/someone else, but Saphira doesn't know. Maybe that was why the third chapter of the last book was included in the Eldest LE rather than the first- because there is too much information in the first couple?

I agree with the above. It woud explain why he didn't put the first chapter and the third instead. Do you think that maybe she's waiting until they get back to the elves so everybody else doesn't see his reaction to the news or so that maybe she would be able to prove it by asking Oromis, because he knew Brom best? or something. :?

But saphira might know.its overly possible. If my theory is correct that saphira does already know everyone is never gunna hear the end of my gloating.

Yep its very possable and due to Blagdon its going to be Saphire who knows and she probaly is keeping many other secrets. Its going to be funny if Saphire is the only one who knows and also there is a possaley that Oromis, Gleadir, and a few others know if its true

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.

That 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 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 of Eldest, Galbatorix would come himself to fight and it would have been a forgone conclusion.

I am inclining to think that brom is a bit obvious though. it would be better if Jeod was eragon's father 'cause he's not so obvious.

I agree with RiderNadav. I think it would have been dangerous for Eragon to know that Brom was his father, and everybody is saying that if Saphira knew that Morzan was not Eragon's father and that Brom was..why wouldn't she have told him? I think that at the end of Eldest Eragon had enough to think about and stress about and didn't need that burden weighing over him at the time. Also, just because she didn't tell him at the end of Eldest after everything went down doesn't mean that she won't tell him in book 3.

I, agree with Serena Svit-Kona too. I think Saphira will tell him but I think she will tell him at the end of Book 3. CP dropped a huge bombshell just 4 pages ago that Morzan is Eragon's father. It would be terrible if a couple of pages later he suddenly changes what he wrote. No good writer would do that. Good writers build up suspense, not just give away one major fact after the other.

Why would she tell him that? That's what he thinks already.

well of course Saphira :D will tell Eragon the truth. She can't hide anything from him for very long. their bond is too strong. As to the question at hand, it is possible that Brom is Eragon's real father. But let's just say it's one of those "I wish it, but it may not happen" type of things. We just can't know until Empire comes out and Saphira :D tells him the truth.
