ABOUT SHURTUGAL.COM

Shurtugal.com is the world's largest and most comprehensive website for the Inheritance Cycle book and movies on the internet. Founded in late 2003 (though officially released on March 5th, 2004) by Mike Macauley, Shur'tugal surpassed all of its competition to become the leading provider of news and information, nearly entirely exclusive. The staff work closely the with Paolini family, Random House (publisher), 20th Century Fox (movie), and Vivendi Universal Games (game developers) to bring the best possible content to site visitors. In 2005, Shurtugal.com was named the official destination fan website for members after the closing of Random House's official Eragon fan website.

Started as a small-scale fan website and side project of its owner, Mike Macauley, the site quickly evolved into the most practical destination for Inheritance fans all over the world. With a staff of over fifty volunteers, Shur'tugal provides a constant supply of news and up-to-date content for millions of visitors. The site is accessed by fans from over one hundred countries across the world.
