Is the ancient language from 'Eragon' a real language?
If you're talking about the 'ancient language' mentioned in the series of books written by Christopher Paolini, then no. He uses a mixture of old Norse and Swedish words and then throws in a bunch of accents and apostrophes to break the words up and make them look authentic.
However, these are not just a bunch of random words. Every word has a meaning, for example, Waise Heill means Be Healed. Waise means 'Be'. The cunning Paolini uses Waise in different prases like Be Gone.
An onc is a type of ancient cushion-like musical instrument that was commonly used in cultures of the Middle East and Asia. It is a percussive instrument played by tapping or striking its surface to produce sounds.
First when he was little, Eragon believed Garrow and Marian were his parents, but then they turned out to be his aunt and uncle. On the Burning Planes, Murtagh told Eragon that they were both the sons of Morzan. Then Oromis confirmed that Murtagh was wrong and Brom was actually Eragon's father.
So far, throughout the first three books, he has not yet perished.
What is the contrast of the movie and book Eragon?
- The movie looks like a Star Wars Rip-off
- In the book Roran was much more of a leader. He stood up to people and only left home so he could secure a job and save up to start a family. In the movie he fled town to avoid basically being drafted.
- Saphira's growth process was carried out in the book over a period of time while she was hidden in the woods. During this time she bonded with Eragon and they figured out a name for her together. In the movie she instantly grew after flying through a storm and told Eragon her name.
- The chain of events with the discovery and rescue of Arya was changed considerably. Murtagh's character was also minimized.
- Saphira was much different than described. In the book she was blue, had more of the European style shape, and translucent wings. In the movie she was grey, had more of an Asian shape, and had feathered bird like wings.
- There were several scenes missing, such as getting help from Joed. Solembum, Nasuada, Orik, and other major characters also do not make an appearance.
- The Ra'zac, who are described as bird like were more like ringwraiths or dementors. Also the movie minimizes the Ra'zac's role because in the book he only kills them in the third one and in the movie he kills them before he gets any training.
- In the book Arya is a fierce raven haired elf, in the movie she is shown a human and not as much of a fighter
- They change the location of Broms death
- In the book the Varden is composed of about 50% dwarves
As much as I enjoyed the book, the movie seemed like a cliffnotes version and had some major plot changes. It seemed very rushed. I did not personally enjoy it.
Will they remake Eragon the movie?
No. There is no evidence there will be a remake of the movie Eragon. Considering how poorly received the first one was, financially & critically, there is no expectation any studio would want to invest in the Eragon series of books again.
The book has around 204408 words in it. This is not including Acknowledgements Glossary pronunciation guide so on. This is a close estimate but may be off by a few hundred words.
What are the Seven Promises of Eragon Shadeslayer and Saphira Bjartskular?
- Fix the dwarves' Star Rose
- Free Murtagh of his loyalty oath
- Return to Oromis
- Return to Nasuada
- Overthrow Galbatorix
- Free the dragons from the vault of souls
- Heal Elva of the curse he put on her
Will there be a sequel to the eragon movie?
There will not be a second movie, as far as the public knows. First of all, if there was it would have come out a while ago. Second, they left out way too many charactors to continue. For example they left out Orik, who plays and important role in Brisingr and also Katrina, who plays equally important roles in Eldest and Brisingr. In my opinion they should have spent less money on Saphira and the location and hired at least two more actors/actresses to fill in important roles, like Angela (I <3 Her)
However the movie did earn a profit. Foreign box office was 174 million while the U.S. box office came in at 75 million. Not bad for a movie that could have been much better. I think an almost 300 million dollar world wide take is not bad for a 100 million dollar film based on a book by a kid who was a first time author.
I think a second movie should be considered; at least.

Who played murtagh in the movie eragon?
the boy who's playing Eragon is Edward speelers...he is soo cute!!
Eragon is Brom's son. Eragon and Murtagh are brothers through their mother Selena. Morzan is Murtagh's father, but Brom is Eragons so that makes Murtagh Eragon's half brother. It was revealed in the third book Brisingr that Eragon's real father is Brom, not Morzan as it was told in the second book Eldest.

Saphira1
The Arya-siddhanta, a lot work on astronomical computations, is known through the writings of Aryabhata's contemporary, Varahamihira, and later mathematicians and commentators, including Brahmagupta and Bhaskara I. This work appears to be based on the older Surya Siddhanta and uses the midnight-day reckoning, as opposed to sunrise in Aryabhatiya. It also contained a description of several astronomical instruments: the gnomon (shanku-yantra), a shadow instrument (chhAyA-yantra), possibly angle-measuring devices, semicircular and circular (dhanur-yantra / chakra-yantra), a cylindrical stick yasti-yantra, an umbrella-shaped device called the chhatra-yantra, and water clocks of at least two types, bow-shaped and cylindrical.
By reading the story below can you tell me if she likes me?
== == Alright, I'm having some trouble with a girl I've known for about 6 months now. We met through friends basically, and we scarcely knew each other. After awhile we gave each other our Myspaces, and we began to talk...alot! Over time I developed a little crush on her, nothing serious at first, and we quickly developed into best friends as she puts it, as we had a lot in common and I was really "honest and understanding". Well eventually, this crush of mine began to develop into stronger feelings, and I was always thinking about her and worrying about her when something happened to her. She then admitted she had a slight crush on me. Well this came as a shock as I thought she would never like me, but thing was, she was already talking to someone else, and I didn't know the full situation YET. So one day she invited me to the movies with some friends of ours and we went to watch the Strangers, a thriller, and during the movie, and a jumpy scene, she grabbed my arm and at the same time linked hands. Now she smiled and giggled and leaned into the rest of the movie, and she'd look into my eyes and giggle like crazy, and at one part she gently placed my hand near her thigh. As the movie ended and the lights came on, she suddenly disconnected hands and arms and stretched as our friends looked over. After when I asked her about it, she said it may have been a mistake and we shouldn't let it happen again. Yet she was so happy when we were holding hands, and although she is a little flirtatious, she continued to flirt with me in a different more affectionate manner than other guys (Although she said a little while after the movies sdhe din't like me like that anymore). Then, about a month after this, as my feelings developed into love and (unfortunately) she began talking to some other guy and preparing to go out with him, she told me in a message that everytime someone mentioned love or the perfect guy, she pictured me, and she didn't know why. She said I was the best guy, almost like her dream guy, and she even said if she were to marry any of her friends, it would be me. Yet she went out with this guy cuz she didn't "want to wait" and there relationship ended up with her being cheated on, which I warned her of before. I truly do love this girl, even though I'm only 16, and most people believe teens cannot know true love, I love her for her, looks aside, I don't care about kissing her, or having sex, I am just happy being with her and holding her. I want to know from an unbiased opinion if she likes me or not due to these signs, and if I should make a move. (Btw, she knows I love her, I told her when she asked me, and sometimes I catch her staring into my eyes quite frequently and she'll just smile with this little shimmer in them, and then when I smile and ask what, she'll say "nothing" and smile and look down and away) Please help me, I don't want to lose her, and I want to be with her, but I want to know if she likes me. - Thanks
She flat out told you, your her dream guy. She KNOWS she likes you, she is just to shy to admit it. YOU have to be the one to lead her in and ask her out. Remember, she might be wondering the same thing you are right now, and just to afraid to ask you out. So just give it a shot, if she says no. You tried, besides all girls like to be complimented and it would be a compliment, so just do it. And find out...

What is the conflict for eldest?
The conflict is when Murtagh comes to the battle between the varden and the empire - he is not dead - he is a dragon rider sworn to King Galbatorix. His dragon's name is Thorn. He kills King Hrothgar and battles Eragon and Saphira and defeats them, but Eragon sees the heart in Murtagh and convinces him to let Eragon and Saphira go. Before Murtagh leaves, he tells Eragon that he is his half brother, making Eragon Morzan's son. He then takes Eragon's sword and retuns to Uru'baen. Roran kills the twins - also alive and evil - and the Varden defeats the empire. Read on in Brisingr, the third book, for more.
