Yeah I thought of this when I first read the book/probs been mentioned alot.

Brisingr pg. 648

Eragon could see that Rhunon had forged Tamerlein for a person with a different fighting style to his own, a style that relied more on cutting and slashing than the faster, more elegant techniques that Brom had taught him.
As soon as Eragon's fingers closed around Tamerlein's hilt, he realised the hilt was too large for his hand

Tamerlein's green. Next dragon is green. Next Rider will most likely get Tamerlein. Next Rider is Arya? Does this description of a sword fit for something of Arya's? Problem.

Unless somehow they alter the sword ... this doesn't seem like CP's approach. CP is really ... easy to work out. His plans. So either they alter Tamerlein (which does not sound like something CP would write as happening, too complicated ...)

Or someone else gets Tamerlein. Probably Roran.

If it was me and I were CP, I'd say that all of a sudden you find out that Vanir was part of the house that owns Tamerlein and he becomes a Rider and Tamerlein is his and perfect. But that's not CP-ish enough. That's me-ish.

What do you think? Think CP will be sexest and grant another guy as Rider because of this?

It's hard to say. I don't think Arya will be the next rider because she is too obvious and they don't talk about female riders very often though I know there were some. I don't know if the next rider would get that sword or if Rhunon would even allow it to happen.

I agree with the facts you've presented, it does sound like a sword Roran can use (since he has learned to use one) I don't know though.. they present Roran as being the entirely human hero, brave and powerful without any kind of special powers. And if another of this groups theories comes true and Roran becomes king then really he can't become a Rider, nobody in the book wants another Galbatorix/king who won't age and die with time.

It would be nice if it were Arya, but she would have to have a new sword made for her for that to happen, which as we've seen with Eragon is an ordeal XD and it seems to me that some people would be less inclined to let themselves be controlled than others.

Yes, especially an elf who has gone through so much and if Roran did become a rider I don't think he would get Tamerlein because his fighting is so unique and he never really used a sword. He would have to practice a lot.

But either way the new dragon rider will get a new sword.

Hey, what about Naegling? Would that fit Arya's style of fighting?

Why not?She really deserves it.Some sa that it would be Roran or Nasuada.I don't think so.,I mean,she's is stronger than Nazuada and Roran,she's wiser than Nazuada and Roran,she's even older than Nazuada and Roran,and she knows how to ride a Dragon,she has also carried Saphrias egg so se has an expirience with dragons.She's even stronger than Eragon.But havin Arya being a rider could also bring Eragon and her closer.Actually it makes sense.The las Dragon is a male so he can "fell in love"with Saphira,then the chances are more to have a mariagge between Eragon and Arya.The dragons are in love,the riders are in love...all good,and then the couls leave alagaisia both.

I have to be picky about just one specific point, and that is that Dragons are picky, Saphira did not hatch for her because she was not ment to be Saphiras rider, that doesn't mean that there is anything wrong with Arya it just means that that one specific egg/dragon wasn't ment for her.

An egg could easily hatch for Arya, sadly as said before I rather doubt it will be the next one.. but who knows, people say it won't be Arya, because that would be too obvious. But the very fact that people don't believe it could be Arya because that would be too obvious means that if it were Arya it would shock most people because they didn't think it would be her, if that makes any sense lol XD

still... that blasted sword.. is the real problem with the entire thing, it will likely be Roran, dispite the fact that he is just as obvious.. if not moreso than Arya.

Maybe it's another factor that we have to consider.The next Dragon is a green one and Arya's magics are green too.The same thing happened to Eragon,Saphira is blue and his magicks are blue to.That could be another clue.What's your opinion?

Well thank you for agreeing with me!

but It could be a clue

I wish i had...

It is said in the prologue of the first book when she teleports the egg.I cannot tell you exactly what it saids because me book is in greek but i think it tells something about an emerald light.And emeralds are green

redshurtugal08 is right.Go have a look and stop arguing with people all the time...

Ok you are right,sorry,i didn't mean
to get rude.

Didn't he say about the color thing in an interview? I seem to remember something like that.

Having different eye colors can't be compared to having the same magic color. Physical features are genetics from your family.

Arya can't be killed.She is a key character.

I think that there is a slight situation that there will be no new dragon rider or there will be someone very unimportant...

But the new rider will appear after the defeat of Galbatorix,won't she/he?

How could it be selena?Isn't she dead?

I'm new so sorry if I say something thats been said already. But I think the green dragon has already hatched for someone. If you remember in eldest when Eragon goes with Glaedr to the place where the dragons used to live he says that there was an egg fragment and it was green he doesnt mention any other Fragments. I also think its Vanir because Oromis says he thinks Eragon would do well to practice with another student, and I think the Elves know of it but wont say. Because really how much help is a new hatchling going to do. I also think that Roran will be King because he is King Palancars heir, the elves did say that the blood of king palancar still ran through palancar valley. Just my opinions.

usually you become king on the mans side of the family as in if a brother and sister were born the brother and his children would be the first to the throne, and also eragon said he didnt want it, and Roran is a strong and good leader and would make a good king. I really dont see arya being the next dragon rider since she is already so important to eragon.
