I, on the other hand, like to shove it down like a 12-gauge. XD

thanks so much Annie.

Does it surprise you that CP likes to throw around made up names??? It doesn't surprise me. And that is part of a LESSON. You get taught random facts ALL THE TIME. If Oromis only taught the really important, bare bones stuff, it wouldn't seem authentic, would it? Now a werecat taking interest to a blind beggar is a different story.

Well, sometimes writers through in stuff like that to either make the story more realistic or to add in something big and make it sound trivial. Trust me, it's been done before. So, in other words, you really don't know about any of that added stuff until the end of the series.

I trust you!

not really murtagh had to only believe that morzan was their father but it doesnt have to be true

Well looking at these arguments leads me to beleive that Brom maybe Eragons father but Christopher Paolini is a genius when it comes to keeping people guessing leaving things out there to make the reader guess good writing on his part i know we can all agree i also think the reason saphira hatched for Eragon is because of family Brom=Saphira blue, Eragon=Saphira blue
Morzan= crimson red
Murtagh= Crimson red thus equalling

family so there are many arguments possible to this but im still clueless tot eh third and final rider i mean there no leads to it, it could be arya becuz of green magic, or even Roran becuz of cousins to both (Eragon and Murtagh) unless galby had a child that noone knows about and anyone remeber his original dragons color?

Brom...Eragon's father...*scratches head*

I don't know what to think. There are arguments both to and fro about the topic. It would fit if Brom was his father, though. So temporarily I shall think that. Why?

Because Murtagh said that the two were brothers. But step-brothers are still brothers, so he technically wouldn't be lying in the AL. If he didn't specify that they were pure brothers, then the AL has a gap in it. Or at least that's what I'm believing now.

(yes im back)
Well all the evidence is there you just have to see it.
CP is very good at keeping readers guessing.

Garrow is eragons father, garrow raised him. end of story. its an interseting debate though as to eragons biological father. i personally think its morzan but there are a lot of interesting hints as to broms love life.

stop fighting everyone!! we will not know until brisingr.or possibly even the 4th book...that might take mayb 2 yrs!!! (I hate this 'being patient' buisness!! )

We're not fighting, we're having a nice debate ^^ I do agree that being Morzan's son is an interesting twist in the plot. But being Brom's son has so many hints...I don't know what to think! *slaps head in frustration* I guess we can say there's evidence for both sides right now, and nobody can completely be sure right now. Oh well, guess we'll have to wait till Brisingr. But the trouble is, I can't wait!

if brom IS eragons father then it would make sense that saphiras blue and so was broms dragon. But murtag said in the ancient language that morzan is eragons father. so there

I completely agree that it is believing that counts. after all with Eragon's poem thing Oromis was surprised that he could speak it. Eragon said that he could do it because he belived. on the other hand why would Brom say that Eragon had more right to the sword than him?

That could go in different directions.

Brom could have said that for a few reasons:

1. Eragon was the new Dragon Rider and would need the sword as a DR.
2. Brom had no use for it, since he was not a DR any more and his dragon had died.
3. He knew Rhunon had taken an oath as to not make any more swords. (Remember he went to her when he lost his.) And the DR's swords had special qualities.
4. Eragon as his son, and the new DR, would need one to learn how to use it effectively.
5. Or he could really be Morzan's son!

I am going to laugh so hard when all of this is over, and the questions are answered... Especially if IMNC shows back up, we'll never hear the end of if he's right. Ever.

I changed my mind, I think Morzan is his father. That was a big enough shocker right there, and I don't think it would fit the story right. But i'm just a lightweight in this boxing match.

I agree with all 5 reasons...although I really want Brom to be his father (Brom was in love to that woman's undoing after all) I'm just the kind of person that has to look at all the evidences first ....who knows except CP himself

If Brom were Eragons dad it wouldn't matter who was right becaus e it would probably be revealed at the end of the book. then we'd be beating our heads on a table is frustration because we dont get the details. CP's books are good AND annoying. Personnaly i think Brom is Eragon's dad. but that doesnt change whats going to happen. However if its true ill either sit back and smile or create a whole new forum entitled HA I WAS RIGHT.

as do i

I just cannot imagine why on earth the 3rd book extended to the point to make it into two. So annoying!

yet we can only look forward to it.

Annoying? Oh come on, I'd say it's marvellous! More of CP's geniusness ^^ (is that even a word?) Back on subject, msot of the clues point to Brom as the father, but was CP just trying to mislead us with those hints? Or is he purposefully leaving huge clues for his fans to figure out? I think he's trying to mislead us, although the Brom theory isn't bad to me!

I hope so. But then again with all the clues givin by CP we'll be finding out about a LOT of new things. Brom is just a small part in a BIG world.

Even though this is the wrong topic....It's going to be her though! It's the only person that makes sense! DR, not as clear

What about Arya??
Anyway we shouldn't get into anything new i mean the book [i]is[i] (unless a nuke destroys the copies) coming out in about 14 hours (if im not mixed up which i probably am.)

Any way i just want to find out WHO IS ERAGONS real dad. But saddly (unlesss CP wants to) im afraid it will only be revealed in book 4.

We'll all be happy in a few hours but we'll probably have to wait a few years for book four if CP takes as long to write it and get it out as he did for Brisingr.

I might not be on for the next few weeks (Brisingr more important than forum) so until then...
