Murtagh is Roran's cousin. No half needed. If Roran's father is the brother of murtagh's mother, then they are cousins just as much as Eragon and Roran are cousins.
accurate, Garrow had no relation to either Brom nor Morzan, so both of his sister's children are equally Roran's cousins, I'm not sure what a half-cousin would even constitute
Maybe if your parent had a half brother, then that half brother had a child. That person may be considered a half cousin as they share half as much DNA with you as a full first cousin. This doesnt apply to Eragon im just throwing it out as an example of a "half cousin"@@fungushoney9958

Dunno, it is at least heavily implied that there was a ton of conflict in Alageasia during the time of the riders. They were great at keeping the elves and dragons from fighting, but I don't think that you can have a powerful group (even well intentioned) just imposing their will on people without heavy dissent.
@@Chatterscompany I mean... There were the Urgals. Prior to Eragon, they held animosity towards both humans, elves, and dragons, which is why they are partially responsible for creating Galbatorix when they killed his original dragon.

Great video! Would be cool if you did a recap of each book! I loved these books 📚 but it's been soo long since I read them I think everyone would watch those videos in preparation for the release of the new book.
@@LoreoftheWorlds "That movie was the biggest disappointment of my life and now you know my eternal pain." I couldn't agree more with you. But Garrett Hedlund's performance is what made the movie at least bearable for me. No one understands and plays the character of Murtagh like he does. He was perfect for the role. He was perfectly cast in this movie role and it's as if this character was created with him in mind. But he had the misfortune of ending up in a bad movie, a very talented actor who had the misfortune of ending up in a bad movie, who, as you might say, ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time. He was probably disappointed too, but he honored hos contract to the very end. He does not deserve for the media or anyone in the fandom to lash out against him, and if they can't recognize talent when they see it and can't recognize that he was perfect for the role than don't waste you time and energy on them. ruclips.net/p/PLzG_3q50DuPkoY1VOGGMA-L3PkrSFk0hd Murtagh is set roughly one year after the events of Inheritance and is a direct sequel to the original four books (and The Fork, the Witch, and the Worm). The book will also come with seven original pieces of black and white artwork created by the author himself. Synopsis: (Quote) "Master storyteller and internationally bestselling author Christopher Paolini returns to the World of Eragon in this stunning epic fantasy set a year after the events of the Inheritance Cycle.

This is going to be a book from Murtagh's POV, in first person! I used to think "November can't come soon enough. I've been waiting for this kind of books for years." I got my copy of "Murtagh" yesterday (but I have 7 books on my reading list before I get to this one, and 6 out of 7 of those books are for a reading challenge on some website) and all I can think is: "I wonder if Garrett Hedlund is going to read this book." His excellent in character acting performance is the only thing that's good in the really-not-all-that-good Eragon movie, the only thing that saved this movie and made it bearable if you ask me. They never made a sequel or the other volumes into movies because they know they messed up the first movie and that no one will go see another one in the movie theaters. But Garett Hedlund's excellent in character acting performance is memorable unlike the movie itself. If anything, people should watch the movie to see a good example of a talented actor who was genuinely dedicated to the character he was portraying. He really does understand the character, it's obvious. My favorite line from the movie ('cause he's telling it like it is): "A son doesn't choose his father" -- Murtagh. I remember I once had a "dream"(1) where I met Murtagh on a castle's battlements during the night, and he was staring off into the distance, his back turned to me. He was dressed in all black, like in the movie, including a hooded black cloak. He was a few feet away from me. When he turned to me, there was so much sadness and pain in his eyes, so much raw vulnerability that it broke my heart. This is something I will NEVER forget. I always got the feeling that he was sad and depressed when I met him because he never had a caring and loving family.

@@LoreoftheWorlds any chance that they will remake Aragon correctly? After seeing Lord of the Rings I have such high hopes for what the correct team can do with this series! ❤
Should have added a "for the time being" He's more or less extricated himself from politics for the time being, but you're right that it's inevitable some form of politics or at least diplomacy are in his future. Good catch.
Very excited for the book From a theory I read a while ago I think in book 5 Something, or someone, is in the icy north of Alagaesia will be the antagonist of Book 5, and the future of the Inheritance series. imo Tenga might be referring to these "northern peoples", and Bachel might be one of them
What about Eragon never returning to alagaesia? When his fortune was read by Angela, everything she told him came true. And he already left the continent. I believe he will never return and explore new lands once establishing the riders
Not every prediction turns out to be true, Angela can get it wrong sometimes. Even if some of her predictions came true, that doesn't mean that all of her predictions come true or that she always get it right. She's just as imperfect and fallible as any other mortal. Also, predictions/prophecies are very often "self-fulfilled" and people can reject predictions/prophecies in favor of free will/freedom of choice. That's what you have to keep in mind if the author decide to have Eragon return to Alagaesia in future books.
there's also this: It never said when this leaving will happen. While he did leave, he may still come back. Perhaps, there'll be one adventure that has him pursue someone over the sea, past the Rider's new base or to the North or South. Something happens in that pursuit that prevents him from returning. I see something happening similar to what happens to Luke Skywalker in Star Wars Legends books. He left the galaxy to pursue something in the Outer Rim and disappeared, ending up dead in his pursuit. However, that's going to be a long time from now as he's also going to have a very long life.
If mr Pasolini wants to continue the series then Eragon and Saphira will probably end up dead in some huge plot event of something like that tho I doubt anything like that is going to happen anytime soon
I thing this world has the potential to grow from a childhood favourite which is not that great compared to the fantasy greats like the comsmere or Malazan to something like a huge epic which is bigger than just the continent of aleagesia. Tho I doubt Paolini will manage something of that scale in his lifetime, people like Brando Sando, Steven Erikson, George RR Martin and Joe Abercrombie are just constructed alternatively
@@devaryamadhukar8803He’s 40….and he has started a number of other fantasy projects. He can most certainly build on this world in his lifetime. What kind of a comment is that to even make?
The term half cousin to describe Roran and Murtagh does not make any sense. Would you consider Eragon Roran's half cousin, I believe they have the same familiar ties has Roran and Murtagh.
Dude, what’s a “half-cousin”?? 🤨 Murtagh’s mom is Roran’s dad’s sister… That’s just a cousin! 😅 It would be weird if they were cousins on both sides… but, I mean… medieval/fantasy royalty/nobility…? I guess it wouldn’t be entirely an unheard of kind of weird, hahaha 😂 (I totally forgot about Brom’s last 7 words… that was an ominous pothole never explored… I really thought those would have been part of the final fight!?! I forgot about Tenga too!!! I thought that was going to be part of the whole “name of the ancient language” thing… but, then Murtugh just changed his true name and was able to use it and break his oaths… 😑) There were so many plot threads!!! And then, it always just boiled down to these books were just Star Wars plot points layed out over High Fantasy/Dragons… 😢 He was 15 when he plotted these stories, I mean… I get it, it’s the rule of 3 that every Dungeon Master uses to make a campaign plot by combining two subjects with your own spin… but, they were sooo good when I was the same age as he was at the time! LoL
Am i the only one who was really dissappointed from The Murtagh Book? I found it to be boring and inconsistent. And Murtagh was in some Parts just dumb?
Eragon didnt kill galbatorix. Galbatorix killed himself. Honestly eragon didnt even have to cast a spell he could have just linked elva's mind with the bbeg to achieve the same results.

Something, or someone, is in the icy north of Alagaesia will be the antagonist of Book 5, and the future of the Inheritance series.
imo Tenga might be referring to these "northern peoples", and Bachel might be one of them
My theory is that there are potentially a few of the freyfolk still out there. Tenga and Angela are greyfolk
What about the 2 women who Eragon blessed in the 3rd book that show up with a little boy in the last battle
Eragon is Luke Skywalker in middle earth and I absolutely love it haha.
We need a dwarf rider, urgal rider....or both
What about Eragon never returning to alagaesia? When his fortune was read by Angela, everything she told him came true. And he already left the continent. I believe he will never return and explore new lands once establishing the riders
