Ok, I'm almost positive that it takes place in the middle ages because of princesses and castles and there isn't any cars or technology but remember this is just a guess.
;)
present day Alagaesia if you are talking about the books the movies I have now idea
Well Murtagh thinks Eragon is his little brother.Murtagh is the son of Morzan and so gets his sword. Eragon gets a new sword in the 3rd book.
The setting of Eragon, along with the rest of the Inheritance Cycle, is Algaesia. It is a land that is inhabited my humans, elves, dwarves, and urgals. It is a fictional place.
She is the elf ambassador and princess. She traveled with Sapphira's egg for a time before giving it to Eragon. Her and Eragon become close.
In the first book he his held in Gil'ead
We're not quite sure, even Eragon doesn't know, but I guess we'll all find out in the fourth book!
Eragon first meets Brom in the town of Carvahall, where Eragon seeks his guidance after discovering a mysterious dragon egg. Brom becomes Eragon's mentor and teaches him about magic, dragon-riding, and the ways of the Dragon Riders.
Of all that we know so far, the Menoa tree knows eragon wants to kill Galbatorix, so like he other woman who made Eragon's new sword Brisingr, she takes the fact in Eragon will defeat Galbatorix.
While Eragon does draw certain elements from the Fantasy genre as a whole, the similarities between Eragon and The Wheel of Time are no more prominent than comparisons from any other Fantasy series.
many people are saying that Eragon will kill Galbatoricks and by not wanting to take command over Alagaesia leaves the land forever.
Brom is only alive for a period of time in the first book, Eragon. He passes away after a fatal wound from the Shade he and Eragon fought. Eragon and Saphira built a tomb for him atop a mountain.
