So Who here Believes Brom is Eragons REAL father

I DO AND I CAN PROVE IT!!! well, i have a boatload of evidence.

here is my boatload of evidence:

Brom said, “She was full of dignity and pride, like Garrow. Ultimately it was her downfall, but it was one of her greatest gifts nevertheless. . . . She always helped the poor and the less fortunate, no matter what her situation.” He answered to Eragon’s question, “You knew her well?”, “Well enough to miss her when she was gone.” Also, Blagden said “Son and father alike, both as blind as bats” after being asked what his first prophesy ment. This denotes that Blagden had met Eragon's father. Morzan had never gone to Ellesmera, though Brom had. On pg. 435 of Eragon, Angela saya, "He (Brom) loved a woman, but it was his affection which was her undoing."

So what happened was she was carrying Brom's child and Morzan found out. She went to Carvahall and had Eragon. She then ran off, running from Morzan, was caught, and then killed. This enraged Brom and Brom went and killed Morzan. Later, he went to Carvahall to keep an eye on his son, Eragon.

I tottaly agree. I think Brom is DEFFENTLY Eragons real dad

Wow no arguments hear

yeah, cuz you can't argue with that much stuff! lol.

Murtagh is a lieing peice of **** now why believe him, and brom's edvidence shows that he is

i dont i dont think murtagh was lying if he is that will be really lame

he didn't lie. he THOUGHT it was true. he didn't know of Selena's affair with Brom.

IMNOTCRAZY
You nailed that one on the head
Nothing more needs to be said!!

Brom, the lucky old dog...

im eragon's real father

LOL

1. just because you miss someone when they are gone, didn't mean you did the hump-de-bump with them....

2. it never said anywhere that blagden had never left ellesmera.

yeah, but how would he know her well? I HIGHLY doubt that she was a rider, so the onle other way to "know her well" would be a short ammount of time when she was doing something for Morzan. Normally, you don't "know someone well" by just talking for a short ammount of time (even a week or 2).

Blagden never left the king's side after that. Blagden could not have gotten to know Morzan.

does blagden necessarily have to know someone to say riddles about them. come on this is a magical creature were talking about. however i still think it would be cool if brom was eragons real father

well, he probably had to do a job of protection for her, since morzan was probably looking for her, so they probably got to know each other real well...

who said it was after he saved the king?

wasn't Brom in ellesmira once?(sorry for spelling im really tired)

Not possible, didnt Murtagh say that Morzan was both their fathers?

Yes he did and yes he said it in the AL but if he believed it to be true to him he wouldn't have been lying. so Morzan may not be Eragon's father.

Because b4 he was a stupid bird!!! lol.

Sorry, but Murtaugh said it in the ancient language -- they are brothers and Eragon is Morzan's son.

Besides, it fits the hero motif -- like Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader -- it just makes sense.
J

as long as you believe that it is true you can say it in the AL even if it really isn't true

Me, I think Brom is really his father.

I agree with you, Also on the first one I guess, Brom I think went to Carvahall to watch over his son i guess to see if he had any potential at being a rider and to make sure if Galby attacked he could possibly protect Eragon if Galby went to Carvahall to destroy that city. Just a guess.

sloan hates the spine because his wife died there.

Yeah but how the wife died is partly the most reason.

uh...she fell from the top of the waterfall.

i do i do i do i do i do!!!!!!!!

You do what?

i think brom is eragon's father

He is. Why do you say?

I tottally Agree with AnnieBee. Thats a lot of examples to disagree with

i don't know, i just think that it is likely.

I also think Brom is Eragons father. Because of all the reasons listed earlier, and I just have a gut feeling, there was something more about Brom's relationship with Eragon. I dont think Brom died for the new rider, but for his own son.

i think he did it for both.

You may have a point there, but I feel it was more over the concern of Eragon as a son, than as a Rider. If you have your book at hand, try going to Eragon, Vision of Perfection, page 236 starting on the third paragraph. Read from there on. I kind of pick up the anger, worry, relief and chastizing of o father to a son. I just cannot feel Brom's concern For Eragon as the Rider. I may be wrong, but.....

i think it did it more for son than rider, but i still think he did it for both. i bet brom also wanted the riders to be restored as well as his son be safe.

also remember, brom didn't sacrifice himself, he was captured.

sorry, i remembered wrong

Yeah I can tell mostly from your cool new avvy. I kinda like this one better than your old one, no offence. This one is more lively.

Thanks and I just changed it to make it even more lively!

I can tell. It's pretty cool.

I reckon brom may be eragon's father...

so will i. but it's unlikely that he isn't.

I think Brom is Eragon's father

really? why?

I DO AND I CAN PROVE IT!!! well, i have a boatload of evidence.

here is my boatload of evidence:

Brom said, “She was full of dignity and pride, like Garrow. Ultimately it was her downfall, but it was one of her greatest gifts nevertheless. . . . She always helped the poor and the less fortunate, no matter what her situation.” He answered to Eragon’s question, “You knew her well?”, “Well enough to miss her when she was gone.” Also, Blagden said “Son and father alike, both as blind as bats” after being asked what his first prophesy ment.

that is why. so much evidence and it makes a ton of sense and ties everything together.

the only thing is that she wasn't killed, she just died, probably as a result of giving birth to eragon, and brom already hated morzan, perhaps when brom met selena, she decided she didn't like morzan and that he was evil, brom may have encouraged her to take eragon to carvahall, where he could watch over their son

That's probably why, she met Brom and she saw how kind husbands can really be so she got with him and they had Eragon.

oh and i forgot to add, i doubt that three dragon riders could be related how could morzan have to children that were riders when there were only three eggs, that seems wierd, unless morzan was so powerful that all dragons wanted to pick his kids or felt they were right or something, but they are both selenas sons too i dont know it works both ways

it could have appeared that she just died, but that can be easily feigned by someone like Galby. she could have been kept sick then poisoned, or she could have been outright killed with magic.

Hmmm.. I think brom is Eragon's father. Take a look at this other quote by Blagden:

"While one is certainly one,
And two could possibly be two,
One could be two."

Selena is definetely their mother
Selena and Morzan might be their parents
but their might be another father, as in "one could be two"

As in Brom is the other father.

for once i agree with INC

ive been saying that evidence with one more peice of evidence alongside it, the color of their dragons

that is just a coincedence. What does the color of the dragon have to do with anything?

well murtagh is morzans son and they have red dragons of the same name

If it isnt Brom I'll be furious

ANOTHER BOATLOAD!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!

anyway, i couldnt be bothered reading it, and anyway, brom was way too old, and selena would havve to had eragon way way way late!!!!! and it doesnt say anything about eragon being really tall or big, as would be typical of a late born child!!! anyway, in the last two lines of the evidence, it says: Later, he went to Carvahall to keep an eye on his son, Eragon. any good eragon fan will tell you that it says in the book, brom knew that eragon had the egg!!

i dont understand what your saying about being born late and stuff. plus brom wasnt too old because he was a rider. also, brom had been in carvahall for 15 years. which i will point out is the age of eragon at the start of the book.

you know Brom shold be Eragons father but that would be a little to obvious

How obnoxious of me, quoting myself! But I refuse to write this or part of it all over again.

It doesn't matter, DarnYouMurthagh if it would be obvious or not. At least in my book, it doesn't. I know plenty of members who still believe he's Morzan's son, just because Murtagh said it in the Ancient Language.

this is true i do think brom is eragon father

I think that brom is eragons father for all the reasons stated by anniebee and also the dragon thing , you know how all the new generation are inheriting the responsability of the last generation. its preety neat that brom + eragon both had/have blue dragons called saphira and that morzan + murtagh both have red dragons called thorn, and in the last generation thorn was beeten by a saphira, i think that this saphira can beet the new thorn,

i like murtagh as a charectar and i know that a dragon has a part in decieding their own name but it seems a bit like he had no imagination calling his dragon thorn, especially when he hated his father so much , but anyhow , that dragon thing kind of supposrts it aswell
if morzan was eragons father then who's blade would eragon IHNERIT? he wouldn't , so inheritance wouldn't fit , but now he can inherit broms so it all fits

I agree with the Brom/Eragon inherited thing, but how do we know that Morzan's dragon's name was Thorn? CP never tells us that.

we will have to as anniebee next time she is on,

yeah. i tried fiding it, but i can't find it. it's not really an important fact though. so what his dragon was female?

i thought morzan was allready eragons father.....

no. that is just what Murtagh was led to believe. they have the same mother, so the jump that Murtagh made was that their fathers were the same too.

meh. whatever.

broms daragon was a gril because a guy dragons name wouldnt end in 'a'

I think you mean or, like o is masucline and a is feminie. If you ever take Spanish, most likely you will learn about this and conjugating.

And his dragon was female and Brom's dragon is female.

Just for your information:
"Though his friends and their dragons were butchered and he suffered great wounds, Galbatorix slew his attackers. Tragically during the fight a stray arrow pierced his dragon's heart. Without the arts to save her, she died in his arms." Eragon, Chapter; Dragon Tales, page 32

Now can we all get back on topic please?????

Who Believes Brom is REALLY Eragons father?

it sort of is on topic, the whole brom dragon thing , becasue is could be a reason for them to be related- them both haveing blue dragons named saphira

the galby dragon thing isn't though lol
