THE RACES OF ALAGAESIA
HUMANS
Most of the known world of Alagaësia seems to be populated by humans. Despite the dominance, they are not a native race; only recently did they come to Alagaësia from across the sea. A group of twenty humans traveled to Alagaësia three hundred years after the formation of the Dragon Riders, roughly three thousand years from the present. They landed in Surda from unknown lands far south of Alagaësia...

ELVES
The elves arrived in Alagaësia thousands of years ago on ships from the land of Alalëa. They inhabited much of the land and lived in peace for some years. However, peace for the elfish race was not destined to last...

DWARVES
The race of the dwarves were a strong, powerful race that have ruled in Alagaësia for eight millennia’s from Farthen Dûr without any opposition from the elves or the humans. The dwarves are stout, powerful warriors. Since their reign in Alagaësia in Eragon's time there had been forty-two kings, with Hrothgar as the forty-second, and Korgan as the first.

DRAGONS
Dragons have an air of mystery surrounding them. No one knows where they come from, though they were one of the first inhabitants of Alagaësia. They have abilities that even they sometimes cannot explain as they are magical creatures. This can be seen when dragons breathe fire as they do not have to speak the ancient language to produce the deadly flames.

DRAGON RIDERS
Dragon Riders play a vital role in the Inheritance series. The main protagonist, Eragon, becomes a Rider early on in the cycle, and this changes his fate, along with the fate of all those around him, and on a larger scale, the fate of all the inhabitants of the Empire.

URGALS
Urgals. The very sound of the word brings an impression of churlishness, brute force, and negativity. Like bullies claiming a school yard, the Urgals staked their adversarial role in Eragon with hostility and intimidation. The Urgals are not native to Alagaësia; they followed the Elves' migration from Alalea.

WERECATS
Werecats are mysterious creatures with the ability to shape shift. Little is known about them but it seems that they can shift into either a cat or human form at will. However, it may be possible for them to adopt other shapes.

THE RA'ZAC
The Ra'zac are formidable foes. Darkness surrounds their existence, and even their origin is unknown. However, they are definitely not human or native to Alagaësia.
