What happens in Book 4 of the Inheritance Cycle?

Answer 1

The only revealed facts:

• The last dragon egg will hatch.
• The last dragon will be green.
• A dwarf CANNOT be the last rider because of the spell placed upon the dragon riders.
• Eragon will leave Alagaesia forever (whether that is in physical form or not - we do not know).
• (To add something to the above writer) Eragon had a dream that 2 people, one taller than the other, leaves Alagaesia on a boat over the sea.. and he sees 2 dragons over head.. so i think he will leave forever, physically and alive..

There are a lot of people who think that Murtagh and Thorn will change their names by rescuing the last green dragon egg and that this egg will be the mate of saphira.

I honestly think that either Roran or Arya will be the new dragon rider. Roran b/c he is related to Eragon and Murtagh and also b/c the wound he got from the Raz'ak healed really quick which suggests that he could be a descendant from the Grey Folk (which these people are said to play a big part the the 4th book).

Arya is a prospective Rider b/c Oromis said in the 2nd book that half of the dragon riders were female and theres already 3 Male Humans as dragon Riders. And if Arya became the new dragon rider then that could make it so that Eragon and Arya finally are together.

I think that Arya and Eragon will be together b/c in the third book before Eragon battles murtagh for the 2nd time she says she doesnt want to see Eragon broken by Murtagh and she starts to say something else, then stops herself. And i dont think Eragon will fall in love with Nasuada b/c in the 1st book, there seems to be an attraction between murtagh and nasuada.

Also people are saying that the name "Galbatorix has almost found" (when Eragon is talking to the Razac) is the true name for the ancient language. In the 1st book, Brom says that anyone who finds the true name would have power over everyone who uses it.

Tenga will also play a big part in the 4th book, as its possible that he could also be one of the supposedly extinct Grey Folk b/c he was able to use magic without using the ancient language. Also the question Tenga is seeking could be a way to harvest energy from fire and water as Oromis says that if anyone could find a way to do this, Galbatorix could be killled in an instant.

Right now its said that the 4th book will come out in January of 2010.

Different names that people are contemplating are Empire (which was the original name of the 3rd book before it was split), Bromsson (b/c it suggests an inheritance and b/c the 1st two books started with E and the last two could start with B), Emerald (b/c of the last green dragon egg), Eldunari (b/c of the role the eldunari will likely play in the last book as it could be the downfall of Galbatorix), and also Shurtugal (b/c it also hints at inheritance and Eragon's inheritance of the Riders legacy)

It is likely that Nasuada and Murtagh could become the new king and queen of Alagaseia.

Also just because the prophecy from Angela says Eragon will leave Alagaseia forever doesn't mean that he actually leaves the land. It could mean that Alagaseia is renamed or something, but this is unlikely b/c of Eragon's dream in the 1st book.

Obviously, Sloan will play a big part in this book as will Solembum's advice from the first book. He says to Eragon to go to the rock of Kuthian and speak his name to open the vault of souls when his power is insufficient. It is contemplated that Eragon will have to speak his true name to open this vault of souls and that when he does, he will find some more eldunari from dragons which were put there in the Fall to protect them, or it could be spirits like the ones from the 3rd book, and it could also be possible that Eragon will be able to bring back someone to help him like Brom, Oromis, Eragon I, etc. but this is unlikely.

It is unsure what the Rock of Kuthian is. It could be Brom's ring, or it could be somewhere on the Vroengard. Also before Brom dies in the 1st book, he gives Eragon a spell that in his hour of greatest need he should use this. Eragon has yet to use this spell, so it is possible that this will come into play in the last book.

I think that the rock might be where the dragons kept their eldunari before the the elves came, it is possible that eragon will find this and convince those eldunari to help him kill Galbatorix. If the rock was where the dragons kept their eggs before the elves then there would be much more there than galbatorix has ever dreamed of, also it would be very challenging for eragon snd saphira to to convince the dragons, so if this was in the book it would surely be a big part of the book.

I will bet that either Roran, Katrina, or their child will be killed by Brigit, most likely Katrina will die because it was Roran's fault that Brigit's husband died, so she will take away Roran's love, and then Brigit will be hanged, and Roran will go mad with grief, and strike out against Eragon because it was actually his fault in the first place because he brought the stone home.

Answer 2

We do not know for certain yet what happens in the fourth book however, we assume that Eragon will battle Galbatorix in it.

The "Inheritance" could possibly be one of Brom's possessions like his sword.

I think the last book will end like this:

1) Eragon killing Galbatorix (as said above).

2) Murtagh turning good and sacrificing his life for Eragon.

3) Arya becoming the Rider of the last green dragon.

4) Arya's dragon mating Saphira and Arya falling in love with Eragon.

Of course it could end differently. On another site I've read that Brom will somehow be brought back to life in a very unexpected way and that Eragon's prophecy will come true. It also said that Eragon will kill a captive (he says he would not do that in book 3) and that more wil be revealed about Angela.

Solembum, the werecat told Eragon "When all seems lost, and your power is insufficient, go to the rock of Kuthian and speak your name to the Vault of Souls." I think there may be Eldunarí inside there.

Before Brom died he whispered seven words in the ancient language into Eragon's ear and explained there meaning. He said to use it in times of great need. Since Eragon never used this and it wasn't mentioned again, I'm guessing that he will use it when defeating Galbatorix.

Answer 3

In Book 4 of the Inheritance Cycle, titled "Inheritance," Eragon must face the evil King Galbatorix in a final confrontation to defeat him and bring peace to Alagaësia. The novel explores Eragon's growth as a dragon rider and his struggle to find his place in the world. The book also delves into the fate of the dragons and the future of the land after the war against Galbatorix.

Answer 4

No ones kmows for sure what will happen in book 4. But it is assumed that since it is the last book it the series, galabatorix will die. Then the varden may take over his command.

Answer 5

If you mean, What does Inheritance mean, it means to Inherit Something. Like when Some one in your Family dies, Some one in you family Inherits that persons stuff.
