==Discussion==\\\ I think that the rider for the green dragon could be eragon. I know it sounds crazy but here is why I think that. In the third book saphira may die in a battle with murtagh and thorn wich drives eragon to steal the third egg and after stealing th egg it will hatch for eragon and after the war the green dragon and eragon leave looking for a wild female dragon.-me
I believe that C.P. is a very intelligent guy ,. Even though it is just his third book ,he knows how to create the climax to such a beautiful storyline . I think that he must have purposely created the aura of making to the reader believe that Arya will become the next rider , but there is another character that I believe who is more suitable for this role. The character is Vanir . In the book , Vanir is one of the youngest elves and the best among them. He starts off as an arch rival and then becomes a friend of Eragon. The author portrays him as if he is another rider under Oromis . even he has a green aura. -ash I dont think that Arya will get the egg because she already has a lot of power and, I think, has a different role in this story. It could be Roran, who knows? It would tie in with the whole "family" deal that already is happening between Murtagh and Eragon. But, of course, it would give him way too much power. Nasuada COULD get the egg, butttt she doesnt really seem like she will and she would have way to much power as well. I HOPE that CP introduces a slightly new character into the story so that we can have a little more drama and we dont have the expected outcome. -bjartskulars
I'm pretty sure that Arya will get the green egg because, first of all, Eragon had a dream with two people (him and Arya) getting on a boat with two dragons (Saphira and Greeny) circling above. Second of all, the color of a rider's magic is the same as their dragon, and Arya's magic is green. -Ben
HOLD IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT SAYS TWO RIDERS ON A SHIP WITH TWO DRAGONS OVERHEAD AND A PERSON ON SHORE. WHERE DO U ASSUME ITS ARYA AND ERAGON. AND ANOTHER THING CP SAID THAT IF SOMEONES MAGIC WAS ONE COLOR AND A DIFFERENT COLOR DRAGON HACHED THEN THIER MAGIC WOULD CHANGE COLORS!! PLEASE STICK WITH THE BOOK AND NOT UR IMAGINATION. CP PROBBLLY READING ALL THESE BY THE WAY LAGHING AND THINK WAT AN IDOIT U ARE FOR NOT READING HIS BOOKS CORRECTLY-corrector of idiots
I think Roran will be the next rider. I think this because of the way the Ra'zac came after him. They wanted to capture him not kill him. I think they came to take him to Galbatorix to hatch the dragon egg to him and force him to swear allegiance to Galbatorix like they did to Murtagh. The Ra'zac could have killed Roran but instead took his wife to be, Katrina, hoping that Roran would follow them leading him straight to Galbatorix. -Matt
I think that the next rider will be Arya. This makes perfect sense if Arya is the next rider. You see, if Saphira falls for the green dragon, so will Eragon for Arya. Things will clear and the relationship will deepen between each other and Angela's fortune telling will come true. But that is not the only reason. Remember the time when Saphira and Glaedr got into a fight and Eragon had to go fetch for her? Remember he found a green egg shell there? That gives me the thought that someone had an egg and it hatched in Ellesmera. Maybe Arya hatched a dragon and is raising it in secret. How she got the dragon egg is a question though. There are holes in this theory but it is just a theory. - Brightscales
It could possibly be Orik. The main reason that dwarves were historically not Riders is because they were not part of the original spell. However, at Eragon's changing, Orik was present. Later on, Oromis mentions that they had reperformed the bonding ceremony, the same one they had done to form the Riders. Since Orik was present, he might had inadverdently included the Dwarves in the spell... That being said, it could be him, or Arya, or Roran, or any of a multitude of other characters that we have encountered. Or, it could just be a new character. -Tim
Ok I'm going to give my opinion on this. Now lets look at the facts; the dragon is green. It would just make sense that Arya is the next rider, it just fits. The next dragon is male, so that would make it 2-1 male to female, and there are two male riders, so it would just make sense that a female is the next rider. Now if we look at the past two riders they came in view in the first book because of the complex character depth that they would have, so that rules out anyone from Eldest and the new book cause they wont have as much depth to them. Now me, like the rest of you out there, hope its Arya but in all reality it kind of has to be, because she's the only female that has evolved from the first book. Now Katrina was is a thought' but it doesnt really fit. Orik is another one, what are you people thinking? He's the next dwarf king, he can't be a rider too (way to much power). Although I agree it would be kind of cool, more then likely the next rider will be Arya just because it has to be. If not, it's someone that all of us have overlooked, but it has to be a female rider. Now for those that think Roran, you're mad cause he's going to be the next king and Katrina will be his queen.--Eragon_man
Who said it had to be a female?! Even though that is the most likely, it could be a dude. I think Roran will turn out to be king of Alagaesia and Arya will be the rider of the green dragon because her magic is GREEN anyway and she knows how to work magic and she has been through multiple years of training. -- Murtagh_Lover
The whole rider thing, lets recap; first you have Eragon and Saphira, then Murtag and Thorn. Now, what are we missing here? There are two male riders, two male dragons, and one female dragon. Now the only way to balance it all out would be a female rider, and second of all Roran will be king because CP wouldnt have developed his character as much as he has unless he was important.--Eragon man 05:04, 22 February 2007 (EST)
There are 4 male riders, 4 male dragons, and one female dragon. You can't make it even with a female rider, and even if there were 2 male riders and 2 male dragons, 1 female rider and 1 female dragon would not make it even or symmetric, so what is the point of that theory? -Leon
Was it ever really stated that the last of Galbatorix's egg was green? Just because the third book is green dosen't mean the new dragon is green. Though I'm probally wrong and the third dragon is green, it's still a possibility the egg could hatch a purple dragon, or another blue one. Its color was never mentioned in the books, so possibly the green dragon could be like Glaedr, an old dragon who was able to escape Galbatorix, or a wild dragon. Everyone seems to assume Arya will be the Rider because of the color of her magic. Arya probably is the next Rider, though I hope it's not, but the next dragon could really be any color. Well I'm probably wrong and Galbatorix's egg hatches a green dragon, but I'm just throwing out the possibility that it might not be green. - Silverstar
I don't think that Roran will be the next rider because riders live longer than normal humans, and I think if he gets a choice to touch the egg he won't because: 1. He wouldn't want to live longer than Katrina, and 2. If he does become the king, they won't want another king that is immortal. Arya is not already the next rider because when Murtagh was talking to Eragon, he said that Galbatorix wants Saphira because, "The dragon inside Galbatorix's last egg, the last dragon in the world, is male." Read the books properly; if your going to start theories have the right information. 125.255.27.90 18:31, 31 January 2007 (EST)--Daniel
To tell you the truth it could be anyone. The third rider is going to be a girl of that I'm pretty sure. And just a question, was Brom's magic blue? Because his own dragon was blue (I would say almost like Saphira for he is melancholic when he sees her). If so then Arya is the most likely third rider even if it will be too easy for an Arya/Eragon relationship. Elva, even if she has grown from an infant to a young child, is still too young. Besides, she already has a role and Angela would let her be a rider. Roran? Maybe but do you think that after however many years of Galbatorix's rule (a Dragon Rider) the people of Alagaësa would be overjoyed with another Dragon Rider ruling the country? No, I think that the third rider will be a still unknown character. And the confrontation between Galbatorix and Eragon is not so far. Any third rider will be less skilled than Eragon unless they got an extreme training, or unless they are elves. (Oh my god, not matter how much I don't want Arya to be the third rider it seems that she is going be. Ahhhhhh!) Du evarìnya ono varda un sé mor'ranr ono finna, Adrastea.
I think the rider of the green dragon will be most definitely Arya. Right now, the scale of Riders is very unbalanced, as all existing riders are male and they are human. It will add variety if we have a female elf, like Arya. Also, something supporting her is that she has been introduced earlier in the trilogy. -E
See, I know that all of the evidence points to Arya, but I just feel like it couldn't be because all evidence points to it. At least, I hope that the books aren't that predictable. I'm not so sure who will be the next Rider, though. And I also don't feel like it has to be someone from Book One, mainly because it was in the first chapter that Eragon found the egg. That means he had a chapter of development before hand. And, since Arya can already do magic an all, wouldn't it be better if she wasn't the Rider? She'd be another magic-user and warrior in the battle, which I feel like the Varden need. -D
I think that the new rider is Katrina. Since the whole symmetry thing, it should be a female rider. Also, the Ra'zac captured her to their lair, which is where the egg is held. Since she will be where the egg is, there is a good chance it may hatch in her presence. -Meg
I'm not sure if the rider will be Arya or Roran, but nobody else makes sense. They're the most-developed characters besides Eragon and Saphira. Roran, Eragon, and Murtagh are all related, they're really alike, so that points to Roran. But everything everybody's said about Arya makes sense too. It can't be Orik because the magic pact thing between the dragons, elves and humans didn't include dwarves, so dwarves can't ever be truly linked to dragons as a rider. Katrina doesn't make sense because she's barely in the story--we don't really know much about her. It could be Nasuada, but that would give her way too much power. I think Roran will be the next rider because that whole too much power thing would apply to Arya, too, because she's not only an elf, but the daughter of the queen.-Sam
katrina cant be it, she is to weak, she is not developed, and if she is to be Rorans queen she cant be immortal, that is why Roran cant be the new rider either-Leon
i think that it may turn out to be katrina. she went to helgrind with the razac and when eragon and roran go and find the egg in the vault of souls(if that is where it is) then she will come in to contact with it, and it will hatch. then when eragon and katrina leave of course roran will be sad cause katrina loves eragon because of the dragons connection. also roran was never developed till the 2nd book, so the new rider could be developed in the third
We can certainly rule out Orik or any other dwarf being the Rider as there is no pact between dwarves and dragons, and dwarves are definitely too small to get up onto a dragon independently - privsy
OK lets get a few things from all the posts. It's one of two people: Arya or Katrina. If I had to bet money on both, I'd bet a buck on Katrina and the rest on Arya, because Katrina would be in Galbatorix's hands already. I believe it does say something about a blue spark when Brom started the fire on the plain, so I think his magic is blue. Now, the Rasac (can't spell those guys) didn't come to get Roran so he would swear allegiance to Galbatorix. They did it to either bait Eragon in OR if he didn't come, to hurt Eragon as much as possible by killing his last family member. Now Leon, no one has said that Roran will certainly be king, it could easily be someone else. If he (or Katrina) is the rider, my guess is (assuming Roran is the second rider) Roran goes with his "brother in all but blood" since he is destined to leave Alagaesia (can't spell that either). Katrina will marry Roran and go with them, and, since the war is over, Arya may feel differently about Eragon and go too. Everything is possible. However, here's what's likely: Eragon steals egg when kills Rasac; Egg hatches for Arya, a few months, they go, kill Murtagh together, then fight Galbatorix together, Arya get's KOed and Eragon barely wins with his life; Roran becomes king. Simple.-americanfightingman
What's all this about killing murtaghhe rocks man i'd marry him. if you kill him c.p i will hunt you down and get you good with some type of rocket launcher- Hunting Paolini- next wife of murtagh
there are holes all over that theory. there are two dragons in his dream, the way you described it there would be one. Roran is the probable king for two reasons#1.the royal blood line of king palancar in palancar valley, and C.P. never said anything of when garrow or his ancestors entered palancar valley #2.he already controls one town. nothing says the egg is with the razac.now dont jump on me for this, but i think that MAYBE Arya might die, and Eragon brings her back with the A.L. while everyone says its impossible, as Oromis siad, there are many avenue's of magic that have yet to be explored. that means that maybe anything is possible with the right spell. and make up your mind. you said that he would leave algaesia with Eragon, and you said he would be the king, which is it if its so simple.-Leon
I kinda got off on a rant. I meant to say something like Brom says that Garrow's ancestors have only been in Palancar valley for a few generations (I think, in book 1 when Eragon says they've been there forever), which is certainly less of a span than since Palancar ruled. I don't think Arya will die, she'll just get wounded or something so she can't kill Galbatorix with her elvin skills. However, I think that roran will be king... i guess I didn't make that clear enough. -AFM
I have a question... why did everyone overlok Trianna and all of Du Vrangar Gata or however you say that (I can't remember)I mean she already knows a little magic so it would take less time to train her than to train Roran or Katrina. --Mel
Okay right, Arya is obviously the third rider.--Mel
Because there is no foreshadowing to one of them being a rider, because they are all terrible at magic, and because they are not entirely on the side of good. -AFM
ive already suggested Trianna( it was cleared out a while ago). the only thing that goes for her is her knowledge of the ancient language, and that being a rider would instantly make her much more powerful.-Leon
No no no, have you even red the book. trianna, are you kidding me. When does it talk about here, let me first ask you this? then How much does it talk about her? Then truly what do we really know about her? Exactly we dont know anything and CP isnt going to put his book on the shoulders of a character that we know nothing about. The answer is in the first book, the answers to all of these questions are in the first book i believe. Ok maybe a few are in the second but the big ones can be found in the first.--Eragon man 13:24, 10 April 2007 (PDT)
Du Vrang Gata... "most of the spellcasters knew little about the ancient language-- none could truly speak it fluently-- their beliefs were often distorted by religions superstions" She would have a long way to go to become a dragon rider. She would also have to learn how to melee fight. Plus, she has shown no resolution to good intentions, only to what is good for her. AFM
first off, did i say that was who i thought was actually going to be the rider, no. second, it would be a big twist if it were her, and a challenge to get her on their side all the way.also, we wont have to worry about her loyalty. she already swore it to Eragon before the fight.we know that a normal person was stronger than brom in magic after becoming a rider, so she would be of a decent strength after becoming one. it did say that most of the spellcasters did not know the ancient language very well, and that thier veiws of magic were distorted, but trianna is thier leader, so it is presumable that she has the least problems in these areas.-Leon
NO, what are you thinking like i said what do we turely know about her? CP isnt going to make to most important person in the trilogy just some random person, the next rider determins the result of the next book. there for we know its someone thats character is developed and has played an important roll in the fist two books. Someone that is strong and cunning and reserved within themselves. They will hold a secret and dwell on that, thats y a dragon will be there to guid them. Eragon had garrow and brom, Murtag had Morzan, so with that we know that there is some great depth to the up comming character. The next rider is just that a buffer, Someone who represents a race or clan to the others. that being said i think its Arya just for those reasons.--Eragon man 20:31, 12 April 2007 (PDT)
ok for the second time,I DO NOT THINK TRIANNA WILL BECOME THE RIDER. i was just stating a possibility. she is at least more likly than Orik, and Orik has been argued over a lot, so ease off-Leon
NO im not going to. But thanks for atleast asking.--Eragon man 12:06, 13 April 2007 (PDT)
Ok sorry, I was just making a suggestion, I don't believe it myself because I think Du Vrangr Gata suck at magic.--Svits 19:11, 13 April 2007 (PDT)Svits
NOTE: I don't think this will happen, but it is possible, so I'm just throwing it out there. what if the green egg is stolen from Galby and then hidden somewhere or something and when it hatches for someone, they decide they won't fight for either side? What if they just start killing people from both sides? though taht would b like suicide, since both sides have at least 1 rider...-Vanillaface
That is so pesimistic. Possible...--Svits 18:50, 14 April 2007 (PDT)Svits
But if that is to happen then the whole book would have to focus on the act and then the development.--Eragon man 16:02, 15 April 2007 (PDT)
more on the trianna theory: in book 1 we saw that Eragon had a little bit of interest in Trianna and she him, but then Saphira charged in, growled and scared her away. Eragon got mad at her and she had to remind him of the rider-dragon connection and that she did not like Trianna. however, if Trianna were to get the egg, Saphira's emotions would change because of the whole rider-dragon connection. - ai fricai
That doesnt happen untill book 2 and the only reason he even considers her is because arya rejects him again and hes on the rebound. that and just like ive been saying what evidence do we have that says that she could be the next rider? what do we know about her and so you have to concider the character development and that the last rider will be someone from book 1 that we know alot about.--Eragon man 21:08, 16 April 2007 (PDT)
Arya hasn't rejected Eragon at this point, he does not even know he likes her at this point-Leon
Ok, now what! we knew from book one that he liked her and still does just because he said that he wouldnt persue the matter doesnt mean that he still isnt in love with her. and yes she has multiple times, you just have to be paying attention through out the 2 book.--Eragon man 15:23, 17 April 2007 (PDT)
ok, heres my take on things.... the third rider, in all likelyhood, is not nasuada, shes the leader of the varden, to precious to sacrifice on the front lines... roran IS going to be the king of the land, and the people will not want another super long lived all powerful king... arya is very likely, if you remember the vision eragon had of the two people, ship, and two dragons, eragon one of the people, and his girlfriend, arya, at his side, meaning that the dragon above is in fact aryas.... there are no other real possibilities... wap
i dont think it is anyone else, but the book never said who it was that was boarding the boat. Eragon man, it is true that WE knew, but the only thing that matters is when he knew, he would not make advances on her if he did not know that he liked her, so as i said, Arya has not rejected him at this point in the story.-Leon
BULL, i dont know if you've even read eldest but you might want to go read it again. Quite vividly does it say that twice he show his affection towards her and twice does he get r-e-j-e-c-t-e-d. if you dont believe me then go read the book for yourself. it happens right after the cerimony, and the painting thing i dont remember what its called but then to,--Eragon man 14:22, 18 April 2007 (PDT)
They're going to go together. She'll get over Faolin in book 3, and the war will end, so they don't have to worry about Eragon getting "distracted" AFM
But what is the good in a book like that anyway. eragon is a guy right? and since when do we ever do anything right the first time? there has to be drama even if they are together otherwise the book would be a failure.--Eragon man 20:53, 19 April 2007
The only likely possibilities are Arya Vanir or a new character. The oprik theory should be squashed because he would have way to much power. Katrina is just completely unlikely overall. Roran would never want to be a rider because he is going to be king ( what would be the point in overthrowing Galbatorix then?). Anrya and Vanir are more likely because 1) their elves 2) they have green aruas (which makes it all more likely because Eragon has blue and Murtagh has red) 3) they already have great experience in magic and swordsmanship (PDT)
BUT what all of you people seem to be over looking the fact of one small thing. C-H-A-R-A-C-T-E-R D-E-V-E-L-O-P-M-E-N-T you all have to take into acount what we know about each of the canidits. and not just the over all things but the small details. characters that have been there from the begining or atleast the first book will be the next rider.--Eragon man 08:03, 22 April 2007 (PDT)
it could be angela? who am i kiding. i dont even beleve that. it will totaly be arya- anonmus
Well 'bout if Eragon becomes a commander of 2 dragons, this could be possible as he is the main character and one of the strongest in the book(small possibility). Or it could be arya as mentioned before about his dream. - wit
Eragon's definatly not going to get 2 dragons. 1)It would be retarded 2) I doubt that's even possible 3) It would make a horrible book. Like, REALLY, REEEAAAALLLLYYYY horrible. Samuss P.S. Where did you even come up wiht that?
I think it will be Arya because she is already real good at magic and fighting, so Greeny would take less time to train, too, or not hold on, does the skill of the Rider affect the dragon's skill????? Even so if Arya was it she could fight much sooner than a normal Rider even accounting for the dragon's maturing.-Halfelven
I think the third rider will be Arya, because: 1. If Saphira mates, it's most likely that the dragon she will mate with will be the green dragon, therefore, it makes sense that the rider of the green dragon will be female (so that when Eragon is influenced by Saphira's love of the green dragon, he will probably fall in love with the third rider). 2. It makes most sense that the third rider will be an elf, as all elves have some experience in magic and fighting and it would take less time to train an elf to be a dragon rider than a human. 3. As said by Eragon man earlier, the third rider should be someone whom we already know quite a lot about, and has been in the first two books (like Murtagh and Eragon). Although saying that, (ignoring my second point) the rider could be Nasuada if she was forced to give up her position as leader of the Varden, which could happen as it has been hinted at by Christopher Paolini. -Spirit_of_the_Dragons_Lost
But even so we dont know hardly anything about her, ive seem to be saying this alot but its true to all stories, its called character development. even if we want a person to be the next rider they need to be developed and there are not that many charcters that are like that.--Eragon man 14:53, 26 April 2007 (PDT)
I know what you mean, we don't know much about any of the elves' pasts, really. On a certain website though, Christopher Paolini said that in book 3 more of Arya's past would be revealed. -Spirit_of_the_Dragons_Lost
i think that roran, if he becomes the green dragons rider then leaves with eragon on the boat then the person on the beach screaming could be katrina.--eragon1301
I don't really support the Eragon+Roran leaving Alagaesia theory, but, you never know what C.P. might write. -Spirit_of_the_Dragons_Lost
Tall Man and woman holding hands with two dragons in the sky.... Now, please blow my computer up if I'm wrong, but Neither Eraogn nor Roran is a woman, and I don't know if Roran (or heck Eragon for that matter, but we can infer) is that tall. Nor do we really know about Arya...... It's all good and confusing. AFM
I know what you mean. No one really has any idea who the person Eragon leaves with will be. It could be anyone (as long as they're female), even someone we've never met before (though that's very unlikely). -Spirit_of_the_Dragons_Lost
im a little confused where does it says Eragon will leave the land anytime soon? For all we know he could leave in a hundred years- the very very wise
TOO BIG A THING TO LEAVE OUT OF SUCH A BOOK!!!!!!! GOSH!!!!!!!! AFM
No not really. For all we know he could wait to leave after they train the next rider (assuming there is one) and they said a normal training experience would take decades if not a century- the very very wise
It's called skip that (no one wants to sit through the training twice)..... And if it's Arya, she doesn't need much training.... AFM
ok Eagon man, i havent been on in a while . i think you might be a little confused about something that had to do with the timeline. we were talking about when Trianna shows affection twords Eragon in the hallway, but the Saphira busts through a door and scares Trianna away. this causes an argument that makes them sleep apart for the first time since he was imprsoned in Gil'ead.this all happened in FARTHEN DUR. on his trip to Ellesmera Eragon starts to recognise some of his feelings for Arya, and specifically at one point when Saphira and Arya were on a hill and Eragon was admiring how they looked in the morning light. then he climed on the hill, joined them, and when he turned to Arya, he had a "feeling" go through him. this all happend on the BANKS OF THE AZ RAGNI, i.e. after he left Farthen Dur. also, this happened before the fairth and before the Agaeti Blodhren, those were the two instances you were refering to as rejections, and they are, but the point of this argument was whether he talked to Trianna before he was rejected by Arya.he didnt.read the both books at least 8 more times before you tell me to read the book again even once-Leon
Ok when did we take a hard left? AMF I realize a skip could happen but 1. we dont know if Arya will be the next rider. and 2. it could end before a skip. Im not trying to descredit you but im trying to look at all the different angles-- the very very wise
Well, what if it's someone compleately new? Why does everyone search all the characters in the previous books, when Paolini is a great writer, maybe he comes up with a new Rider, which will be a compleately new persone! But yet... I still belive it will be a female. I remember Angela's talk with Eragon when she read his fortune, and that girl she described, well, yes,it mostly fits to Arya's description, but I think there is someone else, someone who will love Eragon too, unlike Arya! It's said that the girl is someone that's a part from his past, and a part of his future. Maybe it's his old friend, some girl he knew when he lived in Carvahal, or someone he just met somewhere, or someone that's a part of his past in a more mysterious and complicated way! It would be perfect if someone like that would be the new Rider! I think it would be pretty boring if the Rider will be someone from the first two books... - Mateya
I don't mean to be rude, but doesn't it state in the book Eragon that Eragon only had feeble attempts at romance? And aren't all the girls from Carvahal who came with Roran undeveloped charaters? Plus, there's his feelings toward Arya, but please continue. It's slightly interesting. -Who else?
sorry if that seemed suden, but its been a while since ive been on and me and Eragon Man were in the middle of a conversation-Leon
NO NO NO, for the umpteenth time, No its not a new person because it called CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT. I swear have you people ever read a book period. the character has to me developed and it takes alot to develope them into a good character. Second of all Leon i get what your saying but dont ever tell me to go read those books again, ive read eragon 6 times and eldest 4 times and i know im a little shaky but i know what your talking about. Oh and for those of you out there saying that it could be someone new look at this idea, sapheria has to approve and that takes alot.--Eragon man 19:35, 4 May 2007 (PDT)
Very Very wise, Arya ALMOST has to be the rider because there is NO fact that contradicts her being the next rider, although there are some for every other candidate. And by skip, I mean something like Arya's dragon hatched.... they began training.... switch to Roran or someone.... Arya and Eragon finish the training, and they say so or something. Arya would need little training, same with Vanir, in my mind the two most likely. So we're not looking at too much training for teh new rider. AFM
ive read Eragon 12 times and Eldest 13 times.-Leon
I'm about 3 and 6, but I remember almost everything.... AFM
the only real reason i read them so much was because i was bord one summer. i can basically read the book in my head now.-Leon
Ok so what the heck is this about and i totally think Roran will be the third rider cause come on do you people not see the family thing going on : its like this Morzan;Murtagh ; Eragon then well all thats left is RORAN so please argue it i love these things like i could type 400 different plot twist that paolini could have done to make Eldest better , maby Murtagh coming back was ok but completly expected. If you think you know he's gonna return way to important to leave out of the third book . But weird things about my mind want Eragon to fake betray the varden then come back after assinating Galbatorix. It would rock . Arya is not even a choice and elf much less a girl paolini is sexist when it comes to rider so please dont waste our time with that crap. Roran could totally be king and rider yet not super power hungry like old gal. But personally i think that wierd little kid Nofalfrel should be king sure whe totally messed up the whole Jeod vs. Roran thing but what can i say hes messed up killing a dude can do that to you when your like 12 so please stop saying Roran should be king unless0 Paolini has said that he is cause he's totally miss fit for- it bbl - )statstil (the name is not funny)
ok dudes im gonna jump on the begining context of eldest when arya says : you speak as if you werent human or something like that and eragon answers something like a mix of two races i'm think paolini will add a new race being half elves super strong magic users whos magic doesnt use strenghth and they rock and eragon is one of em
Call me crazy but im dying waiting for the new book so ill make up plots in my head - statstil
yea, he said he was a mix of two races. DRAGON and human. he said Saphira was living in his head just as much as he was.-Leon
BURNED!!!!!!! and statstil, that was....... interesting (*cough* terrible *cough*). It didn't make too much sense, I could shoot it threw with holes. For example, I was reading interviews with CP off of Wikipedia or somewhere and he said that female riders WERE just as strong as male riders, which means that there were female riders. And if he was sexist, then how come leader of Varden AND Elves are chicks? AFM
CP has never even had a chnace to be sexist stupid (a lil advice, lea rn whata word means before you decide to blurt it out in indeciferable sentences of utter nonsense).- the very very wise
What do u mean learn what it means? I'm saying that IF CP was sexist, he would not place women in any authority figure at all in his books. What teenager doesn't knwo what sexist is??? AFM
1. I was talking to statsil u dunce. 2. CP is NOT sexist (or hasnt got a chance to be) so he would placewomen in authority (proof of his nonsexistness (yes i made that word up) is of Izlanzadi, Nasuada, and Arya). 3. Statsil talks like a senseless retard so I wouldnt be able to tell if he was a teenager or not.- the very very wise
Yay making up words!!!!!!!! And I agree with the first part of number 3 AFM
Eragon_man, I read Eragon and Eldest as much times as you did, I even read Eragon one time more... I understand the character development, but, what if it all just makes us belive that someone who is in the books already will be the next Rider? I myself will find it very boring if it does, really! I see how there are some characters pointed out of the ordinary in the book, most of all Arya( because she is the princess of Ellsmera, and Eragon loves her ), Roran ( because he is mentioned a lot in Eldest and has saved and brought all of the Carvahall village to Surda ), and even Elva ( because Eragon's magic made her the way she is, and that makes her special in some points). There are maybe many more, but for example I don't find any dwarf capable to be a Rider... Honestly... What I'm saying is... Maybe Paolini wants us to think it's someone already mentioned... So that we don't brag with ourselves that we know the all third book already! Or it's someone new, or it's some character that has been mentioned, but in a hidden sort of way, that you could never guess it was her, or him, but most likely it will be a girl, and dragon will be a male, so Saphira could fell in love with him. That's my opinion, and if you could just respect the other posibilities! Thanks for atleast reading this, fricai. Se onr sverdar sitja hvass! -Mateya I believe the new dragon rider will be Faolin. I believe that the Arya is already been in love with another elf whom she had known for a while, Faolin. He is persumed KIA when he and Arya tried to steal the dragon eggs from Galbatorix. However, he MAY be still alive and being tortured as it seems that there is no REAL proof that Faolin is dead. But the real question is that IF he is alive, why is Galbatorix keeping him alive. There are two awnsers i can think of.1.Galbatorix is trying to gain information about the elven lands from Faolin, or 2. is that the green dragon hatched for him before Galbatorix killed him. Seeing that the elf can be of use to him, Galbatorix probably is torturing Faolin to serve him. This is only a hypothesis, since Murtagh already knew the gender of the 3rd egg (which would mean that it would of had to hatch). But what would really cuase problems if Faolin ends up serving Galbotrix, since then Eragon would have to deal with three dragon riders at once. I only have 2 ways for Faolin to end up joining Galbotrix: a. he can't stand the torture anymore b.when Arya gets captured by Durza, Faolin willingly pledges his fealty to the mad king for the safety of the elf he loves. However, IF(since this whole thing is only a geuss, if Faolin is even a live or a dragon rider is still questionalbe, but if everything until now is true, then he can simply escape like Murtagh did) he does end up serving Galbotrix, it would be very bad for Eragon, since his dragon would be the eldest of the three eggs(being born roughly 30 years before Saphira if my giuesses are right) and presumably the most powerful and experienced of the current riders(next to Galbotrix himself or Oromis in his prime).But that would make him TOO strong, infact the only way for him to be free of Galbotrix(and defeated) is to kill himself. The only way I think that this will happens is if he sees what a monster he has become under Galbotrix and begs Eragon to kill him(since death is the only way to escape servitude in the ancient langauge, however Murtagh scoffed at the idea of dieing for the sake of others, this may or may not be an effect of the spell, for Murtagh was born cold and sadistic, yet Foalin's character may be different. Yet, in the end, as most books, the hero(Eragon) always gets what he wants (in this case Arya) so Foalin will HAVE to die, either by the Varden or the Empire (depending on which side he fights for). That is a cruel joke by Christopher Paolini...................
Well, I would think that the new Rider would probably have to be an elf, because there are only human Riders around at the moment. And, I'm guessing that this new Rider must be Arya, Vanir, or even the two elves who accompanied Eragon to Ellesmera, Lifaen and Nari. In Angela's prophecy, it says that Eragon will love one of noble birth. It is very clear that he loves Arya. But, the prophecy also mentions that the romance may not succeed. I think the new Rider may be Vanir, as he is an elf, and he does seem to have some kind of magical power already, even though he is so young, for an elf. Now I come to think of it, it could also be Lifaen or Nari because of the way that they interacted with Saphira on the trip to Ellesmera. - privsy
That was a long rant that went no where at all, except to state that Faolin may not be dead. If he was one of the guards for Arya, he is dead. Get over it. However, I took a very quick glance at my Eragon and it never mentioned him my name. I didn't look that long though. And there is still that mind inside the egg, and any trained person could probably talk to it or even determine what gender it is. Also, magic could have played some role in revealing it. And if Faolin was one of Saphira's guards and somehow managed to survive that many Urgal arrows, his dragon would be only a few hours older than Eragon's. There has to be character development, otherwise we get bored with the book, hate it, and then spread negative publicity among our friends who may be undecided to get the book, which hurts him and lessens his sells on later books also. It never said that Murtagh was necessarilly sadistic or even cold..... he has seen a lot, and a death like Brom's wouldn't be too special for him. He has lacked care throughout his life, and this probably spreads into his current character. AFM
i dont think there will be 1, I mean it doesnt hint at all that there will be 1. every thing else in these books if you take some time, put in some commen sense and think about it you figure out what big things r gonna happen and if u read page 449 first paagraph eragon finds a fragment of a green dragon egg, im guessing it was a random dragon that survived the fall while pregnent and had a green baby dragon and the mommy died i kno its farfetched but its quite plasuable think about it a possiable mate for sapphire with no rider for eragon to get attached 2 its perfect--Patteh
But WHEN (for some of you IF) Arya is the rider.... most of us want Eragon to work that out right.... I personally think that's the most logical choice. Besides, theirs no evidence that the shell wasn't hundreds of years old and just reinforced the broken egg story from saphira. But at least it's not directly impossible because of what he's written. As long as it doesn't do that.... It's trully a (most of the time) reasonable theory. AFM
Heres the deal. In Eragon, it never did mention Foalin's name. It said the guards were killed by Urgal archers. However, in Eldest somewhere around the time when Eragon and Arya were on there way the Ellesmera, and they had just met the two elves, Eragon asked Arya about the two guards. She said that one liked to listen to birds sing to him. He would then sing the songs to the elves. Then she mentioned Foalin was a guard. Eragon noticed that Arya did not saying anything else about him.- the very very wise
If Foalin was alive and a rider, it would really piss of Eragon. That'll be funny, since Eragon had always thought of himself as the only rider who has a chance of gianing Arya's heart, throw Foalin into the mix and you got one really heartbroken Eragon, lol. That'll really suck for him i'm sure, lol, lol, lol, lol.
Thx wise. That means Faolin is DEAD. People don't survive that many arrows, a nasty fall from a galloping horse, and then a forest fire. (it says "They fell from the noble horses, blood pooling in the dirt. The Urgals rushed towards the SLAIN elves." (Eragon 3) AFM
wasnt it obvious that faolin was dead... and sign ur name ppls!! -Patteh
made even more obvious by the books making a big deal about how Arya was the only elf to be captured alive and that was why galbatorix was desparate-Leon
Oh watde heck.I wanna point out a few things negative to the characters people had suggested, first of all Trianna might be killed by the twins.Roran is a guy, unless he's transexual later in the book.Even if he's transexual, do u think dat eragon would turn homosexual?And roran's like his bro! Faolin's dead.Katrina is not of noble birth.And I don't get wat the heck some people's thinking of!For example:"Katrina would become noble if she becomes roran's queen."Still, as I said before she is married to roran, she is not of noble birth.Even so, she's married to roran, y the hell would she betray roran and love Eragon?The thing about katrina is rubbish.Nasuada doesn't know a thing about magic.elva is a baby,she wouldn't be able to fight,orik is also a guy, unless he's transexual as roran,also, the third rider is tall, but orik is a dwarf. Angela would be too old, as she could have been a rider earlier,before the fall.Same with arya.The whole time she was carrying saphira,but she didn't hatch for her.If she's suitable, arya would have been a rider ages ago!-Eragon ShadeHunter
.....Roight.... y do u want roran to be gay? and how do u kno katrinas not of nobel birth? -Patteh
Okay here we go..... A male dragon doesn't get a female rider.... the whole gender thing was that it reinforced the Eragon/Arya thing with a very logical explanation..... Look at murtagh and thorn.... Galby and Shruikan.... Eragon (1) and whatever his name was (his dragon). The last rider doesn't necessarily have to be the one Eragon falls in love with (only a dipstick would ignore all the prominent clues), and Saphira was destined to choose Eragon..... however, Greeny may choose Arya. Another dragon's rejection has no bearing on a future dragon's choice. AFM
I didnt say that katrinas a nobel women i just mean that the original blood line from king Palacenar(spelt wrong) went into carvahall and since theres only about 300 people in carvahall its quite plausable that she has royal blood in her. -Patteh
Hey patteh, i checked the book again and angela actually said "noble birth and heritage" noble birth actually meant dat parents r nobles not about de wretched bloodline!also heritage meant a person who's a heir or a heiress.Some who's could inherit a position, possesion or even privilege.-Eragon ShadeHunter
Hey shade hunter, good point i didnt read that part that closly thx for the info-Patteh
So assuming that Ajihad or his wife/lover (choose one, we don't know) weren't royal, it couldn't be Nasuada. Only person known to us now is ARYA. AFM
Anyway, during this interview, Chris Paolini said dat de third rider might be a new character,but do u think this might happen? if so wat kind of character do u people think would be? I reackon dat if this happens, the new rider would probrably be from one of those elvish royal houses and is a female that hads de characteristics from de prophecy about eragon's lover.Eragon finally forgets arya and fall in love with her instead!by de way Patteh u're a bloody emo!-Eragon ShadeHunter
The third rider doesn't HAVE to be Eragon's lover.... Eragon may save Arya or something and greatly risk his life doing it (moreso than Gilead) and she may fall in love and say wth and go for it after the war..... and then they head off to Alalea (spellling) and the third rider goes off with Saphira.... his mate..... and the rider.... probably an elf.... comes along and everyone lives (except for guy screaming on beach) happily ever after..... Or Arya becomes rider and no lengthy explanation needed. AFM
HOW AN I EMO?! lol ur messed up dude and just because 2 dragons r in love doesnt mean the riders will automatically pair up... so yeah ur whole roran cant be the rider cause hed be gay is not true -Patteh
God I HOPE Paolini brings in a new character for the third rider... that would help the story's plot progress, I found that as I read nearer and nearer to the climax (during the battle, around there), the book was just plain tedious... it needed some ZING! If Christopher knows anything.... he'll put in at least ONE new character!
Editor
There will probably be knew characters..... but there won't be enough character development for them to be the rider and for the majority of us to not scream our heads off and rush at CP with torches and medeival flails in hand......... Roran probably wouldn't be the rider b/c he is kinda the number one choice right now for King of alagaesia....... they would NEVER allow another rider as the king..... I bet almost anything that Nasuada dies and Eragon becomes leader of the Varden and the leader of the Varden aka Eragon picks the next king..... gotta go my radio station is finally playing music again..... Heck yeah Country!!!!!!! AFM
I really hope that Paoline has a new character as the third rider... someone younger, like Eragon was when he started out. Except not a clique : ). Or maybe not younger, but someone like Katrina, who has never dealt or even imagined dealing with this sort of thing. Actually, I think I'd like Katrina as the third rider. - Cate
Again just like AFM said unless this book is longer then the bible then it just wouldnt work. Maybe as a suporting lead character, but not as a lead roll. especialy as the last rider. no its someone that we already know, someone that has been developed under our very own nose. its someone that has been mentioned alot. And you can cross off a few people because of their lack of roll in the books, their expendable. Arya or Katrina are the only possible choices. Now seeing as this will be the last book CP can kill off almost anyone he wants, well except eragon of corse. so just think which will be a better rider and more of a shock, not to us, but to eragon himself?--Eragon man 10:41, 16 July 2007 (PDT)
Well lets see.... we have somewhat decent character development from Roarn, Arya, Orik, Vanir and Nasuada......... Katrina barely has any development and she'll be the queen (with Roran as King) of the new order so she (and he) can't be the rider........ Now Orik can't because of the dwarf thing. So unless CP makes a boring non-developed third rider, it will be Arya, Nasuada, or Vanir. AFM
How can be even be sure that Roran will be king. It could be one of the other villagers like Horst or Loring or Gedric - privsy
Now your somewhat right but you can cross off nasuada because shes expendable. its the last book and so far in the past two books cp has killed off one of the main leaders of the rebellion, so we can infer that he will keep up the trend. my thought is she wont make it through half of the last book. Also it has to be an elf, hints eragons vission. So which leaves us with only two choices right? Arya and Vanir.--Eragon man 20:06, 18 July 2007 (PDT)
I disagree. Nasuada is not expendable - her father was. I mean, she might die at the very end, but only then. She is the character CP meant to lead the Varden. But that's just my opinion : ). Roran and Nasuada are both strong leaders - but I can't see either of them as the next rider, I think they're meant to remain leaders of their people. Nasuada has too much invested in the Varden to be the third rider, too much of it is part of her. Roran and Roran are very unlikely, because having five men as the only surviving riders wouldn't be politically correct on CP's part. Katrina, I think, would be an interesting rider : ). But that's, again, just my opinion. - Cate
But you see she is expendable, and there for cant be a rider. more then likely shes is going to die, i think in the first part of the book cause think about it. that would leave the varden without a leader right in the middle of the war, there for putting eragon in a situation. its just the kinda twist CP i know for throughing at us. Katrina wont be a rider, we know almost nothing about her, and there for would make the last rider someone that the readers couldnt completley connect to. Im sure each of you have a character from book one or two that you feel close to well she just isnt developed to be a main roll. also to ballance everything out we need an elf. i know what about eragon, but hes not completly elf remember all the cerimonie did was heal and speed the effects of a rider on humans. so hes just part, half and half. so we need an elf. which just leaves us with two possible characters, Arya and Vanir. --Eragon man 14:23, 19 July 2007 (PDT)
Okay, Nasuada has to be included as a possibility. However, her telling Eragon that she wants him to lead the Varden if she should die foreshadows that she will die and Eragon is meant to lead the Varden. It doesn't have to be an elf..... just a tall human (if u strecth y they're going to Alalaea). However, I don't recall Nasuada being tall. And anyway, I firmly believe and always have believed (since book 2 was over) that Arya would be the third rider. AFM
NO she doesnt have to be a possibility. But you are right in the fact of the foreshadowing. Um and it does have to be an elf, taller then a human, in the vision. And your right that it more then likely will be Arya.--Eragon man 19:43, 23 July 2007 (PDT)
Well if you say that Roran can't be the rider because no one will want another king who's a rider.... won't the same have to be with Arya? She's a princess... but then again... do elves pass on the crown thru blood making Arya the next Queen? And would the elves WANT a rider as their Queen? They too could be afraid she'll turn evil ..... although with Arya I wouldn't be worried.
I just had a look at the list of known Dragon Riders and noticed that all (as far as I can tell) were male. None of the names sound female. This could either mean the next Rider will be male, because only males are part of this magic, or the next Rider will be female because there has not been one (at least named) before. I think it will be Katrina; but I think, because it would be easier from a writer's point of view, that it would be Arya. She would not need to be trained in magic, whereas any other would need to be. I would like to see Katrina become the next Rider, she is afterall trapped in the Raz'ac lair on Helgrind, where I think the last egg is hidden. It's been several months since her kidnapping and she has probably been exposed to the egg whether on purpose or by accident. Maybe it hatched for her, where then Galby would have found this out, messed with her mind so she would work for him, and then train her as a Rider. --Medwyn
Oh, my god! I relize that noone is talking on this anymore but, just for future preferences, NO ONE WILL ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT CP WILL DO!!! Yes, It is very likley that Roran will become king. But, (for somewhere in the middle of the debate) It does state that Eragon will leave and NEVER RETURN to Alegaisa(or how ever you spell that). Its possible that Murtagh will stay on Galbitorixes side but also posible for Eragon to overcome the magic of the Ancient Language. Galbitorixes dragon could also be turned back to the good side. If dispelled by the black magic cast over him over the centuries. Saphira could mate with any dragon right now. since we don't know how Thorn feels about everything yet.~~Teardrop195
Editor
Katrina's going to be the queen... she won't be. Arya could easily choose not to take the thrown as is the elf custom.... besides she's going to Aelala with Eragon anyway. AFM
Dude,you are so right!If Arya loves Eragon and will go with him to Alalea,than she may decide not to rule.Also if she becomes the third rider,she may not accept added responsabilities.The people may also not to have a ruler who will live a long life,like her and Eragon.-Eragonshadeslayer
Elves are already immortal. They just wouldn't want someone with that kind of power in complete control. AFM
But I wasn't talking about the Elves,I was talking about the humans! So the king/queen would have somone who has allredy been trusted with power like...Nasuada,Roran and Murtagh(Besides being the coolest charachter yet,he is able to take big decisions,with successdul results._Eragonshadeslayer
Thought by "people" u meant the elves not wanting Arya as their queen... my bad. AFM

I think that the Third rider will be female. The reason for thinking this is that whichever dragon Saphira mates with, Eragon and the other rider will develop feelings for. If saphira mates with Thorn, Shruikan, or the third dragon also has a male rider, it would make eragorn gay or at least bi, which i don't believe C.P. would do. Therefore, the 3 charcters i belive most likely to be rider are Arya, Angela and Katrina. (I also belive that roran will be king because thats why CP developed his character so much). Arya) Already powerful in magic, has a good knowledge of AL, and is a skilled fighter, Arya would need less time to develop into a strong rider Also, her magic is green. Angela) Very unlikely but possible, due to the fact that she can use basic magic and has solembum for help. Main reason is that this is and interpretation of C.P.'s sister. Katrina) Again very unlikely, but has acces to the egg due to the fact that she is currently imprisoned in helgrind (which, by popular belief, is where the 3rd egg is). Also she enters early into the 3rd book (chapter 3 ---Its in the exerpt ---read it) which means she would have time to grow. Overall i think it would be arya because she is the most powerful, will have acces to the egg later in the book, and will fall in love with eragon ----English Eragon fan
Just because 2 guys dragons fall in love does not mean they will. Most likely they would just be good friends not companions. Feelings do not neccesarily mean romantic feelings. (darksmith)
i think that the next rider will be roran because the trio or as the case maybe four books is called the inheritance and murtagh is a rider and eragon is too and they are brothers so it may be roran because he is related to them too. i think it makes sense really but i may be wrong, you never know really until the book comes out -james
of course he's related to them, he is there cousin-Leon
It's been a while since I've been on here, so I'm sorry if someone's already written something like this (because there's just so many theories to remember!), but has anyone else ever pondered this: who will be the dragons on the next two book covers? It sounds stupid (and irrelevant, I'll get to the point eventually though),but it really makes you think because: 1. On the first two books it has been Thorn and Saphira, two of the three dragons from the surviving eggs. 2. There is only one egg left to hatch, and two books left. (Therefore there must be another dragon) 3. Paolini stated that the dragon on the 3rd book will be a green one facing the left, but not that it will hatch from the remaining egg. 4. Therefore the egg may not hatch in the 3rd book, and the green dragon will be hatched from the green egg Eragon stepped on during his training, and so the dragon will already have a rider, will be several months/years old (we can presume), its rider will already have some experience/training, and will probably be an elf (because the egg fragment was found in du weldenvarden). And if this is all true, the last egg will hatch in the 4th book and will be shown on its cover. Just a theory, but it does make sense (sort of). (and if my theory works out: the rider will not take as long to train -elf, and could be female) -Spirit_of_the_Dragons_Lost
Ya i think arya or katrina is going to be the next dragon riders. But it would be easier if it was arya b/c arya dosent need training and katrina does. I guess we will all just have to wait. =[[[ -shruikan356
Ok, let me try to give you my crazy, wild idea. In Eragon's dream, two dragons are circling overhead, and two people (male and female) are going off in a ship, and someone cries out in anguish. What if the person crying out is Eragon? Somehow he uses Brom's last seven words to kill Galbatorix, and as such he is banished (Exiled, which could be the name of the next book) to a shore, and Nausada and Murtagh are the two people going on the ship (or Arya, the other dragon would be the next riders') Eragon would then have fulfilled the prophecy, and there he could find a wild dragon for Saphira to mate with (could) -Solembaumfan
I think Roran could be the next rider. As family Roran and Eragon love eachother and if the next dragon were to be Roran's it would make the dragons of Roran and Eragon love eachother, only in a different kind of way. Just a thought
Oh, my god! I relize that noone is talking on this anymore but, just for future preferences, NO ONE WILL ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT CP WILL DO!!! Yes, It is very likley that Roran will become king. But, (for somewhere in the middle of the debate) It does state that Eragon will leave and NEVER RETURN to Alegaisa(or how ever you spell that). Its possible that Murtagh will stay on Galbitorixes side but also posible for Eragon to overcome the magic of the Ancient Language. Galbitorixes dragon could also be turned back to the good side. If dispelled by the black magic cast over him over the centuries. Saphira could mate with any dragon right now. since we don't know how Thorn feels about everything yet.- [[Teardrop19)
Believe me, I would LOVE a female dragon rider, but I would also LOVE Roran to be one. Maybe, theres another one. A new twist to the story. I dare you, try to prove me wrong! - Person
I cant prove you wrong cause that is very true...but then he might also have to bring in a new charater. Arya could as well be the next rider. But I dont think there will be anymore unless CP introduces a new charater in the next book and (if theres another book) makes him/her a rider in that one~~Teardrop
I think the third rider will be Roran or Arya. - Durza99
Roran is out of the question because he's most likley to become King. Arya, maybe, for me, shes The most likley candidate.~~Teardrop 5/28/08
Hey isn't their magic the color of the dragon when it hatches?-Brisngr Rules
And guys,Arya thinks Eragon is way to young for her, so it's not possible for them to be lovers-Green Dragon
What if, just IF mind, Katrina was the green dragon's rider? The egg might be kept at Helgrind and the Ra'zac made it hatch for her? Insult me all you want- Square'ead
Yes, the color matters, its going to be a green cover (if i remembered right) and Aryas magic is green. Aryas actions are a little suspicious to me though. It seems like she does like him, but I think shes afraid of what would happen if they started a relationship well, if predicted right, then Roran is going to be King, and when/if that happens he will more then likly take Katrina as his Queen. So thats not posible. ~~Teardrop 7/17/08
I totally think Arya cause of the next-dragon-green;her-magic-green thing, and cause if Saphira mated with Greeny(totally gonna be evandar after her dad) then Eragon's gonna be connected to them deeply, and if it was Arya then that would totally work! Plus she wouldn't need training.-Halfelven
