I think thats a good idea. I think that the hohs are the ones of wild dragons. A rider probably did put a spell on the rock.

the hadarac desert is a very likely place for the rok

thats a good point and it would mean it definitely involves dragons. so if its the entrance to the vault of souls what could be in there other than eldunari

could it be like the agaeti blodrehn where a dragon will come forth and give him a new power

the rock could be there, but I would wager on Vroen'gaurd (best I can spell w/out checking). One problem with the Eldurnari vault idea: Oromis said all the Eldurnari were accounted for before Galby stole them, and none disappeared mysteriously. However, there could be some very old Eldurnari in them. I beloved Brom said something similar about eggs, but the same also applies. As for the "speak your name" part of the prophecy, that's obviously Eragon's true name. However, if a true name describes you completely, then the Rock could have a spell that judges if you can open it by your true name. (ie, Galby couldn't get in because his true name would say that he was evil.) Eragon's name must be pure enough to open it.

dragons don't have a language. They gained the ability of use language after the elves bound the dragons and themselves together. If you remember Eragon talking to Arya while they were in the empire he says that when Glaedr is communicating with Saphira he rarely uses words and instead relies on images.

Rhunon was also alive when the elves weren't immortal, she makes a reference to how their behaviour has changed since they became immortal in a conversation with Eragon. She implies that she thinks the change is for the worse.

yup its Futhark.
im pretty sure the dwarves know something firstly cause its a ROCK but the elves know too, after all arya and oromis both vaguely remember it right?and either rhunon or g.... (the guardian of ellesmera cant remember his name) will tell eragon.
p.s. ruben elda: liked that dumbass comment

tenga would definitely know, so if he knows why not Angela? she was his apprentice and "King Cat" shows her importance in the Inheritance cycle. It might be in the book though..

i havent read it either! i just read that thing about april 13 or whatever it was..

Mkay, now that I have some free time, I can mention a theory I had earlier. (It was more of a random thought I had sitting in the comp lab at school, lol. )

Maybe the Urgals know where the RoK is. Think about it, Arya said it sounded familiar but she didn't know why. Maybe she read about it in a book about Urgals, and we know that there are plenty of books in Ellesmera about Urgals.

ruben-elda: where can i read it? i cant get another copy of Brisingr cause mine was pretty expensive and i dont need a new one..

Maybe the Urgals do know, but isnt it more likely that Arya and Oromis found the RoK familiar because they spent time with the dwarves? Arya spent 70 years with the dwarves right? Remember, its a ROCK and dwarves like rocks.

tried that, it isnt working!!

Lol, I keep saying that, but nobody's listening.



Not necessarily, because Eragon spent time with the dwarves and that sounds like something they would have mentioned. Although the word Kuthian does sound more Dwarvish than Urgal-ish. Won't know for sure until the last book comes out. Hurry up and finish the book, CP!!!

Hmmm, maybe so... I dunno... It could be any or none of the above. Aside from the werecats, the Urgals are the only people who CP hasn't elaborated on their culture. So it could be either one of the two.

Me neither, but I'm not to worried about it.

From what I've heard, the released chapter is supposedly about how Angela is important, or some such thing. But like I said, I haven't read it myself so don't take my word for it.

Read this topic, it explains how to get to it.

So did and I can I just say I only thought I was impatient for the book to come out before I read the chapter. Now I'm so ready to read it, I think I might just try to go to Montana and... Lol and that's for me to know and hopefully y'all not to find out.

??? Where did you hear a release date? Or are you goin' off the other books?

All rumors of release dates out there are rumors and have a 99 percent chance of being completely inauthentic. When a release date is announced, it will be all over the place, including here with a snarky global announcement titled "Book 4 release date! No, really." or somesuch. ;]

is it just me or are we REALLY off topic?

Not at all.

kotor, that better be the actual title of the announcement or I might not take it seriously. lol, jk

Uuuuhhh... How 'bout them Urgals? What do y'all think the chances are of them knowing where the RoK is?

Lol, well we know at least one of them does.
