How many of the eldunari do you think Eragon is going to use in the upcomming books when he is forced to leave Mount Arngor? I know that Eragon deeply cares about their well being and wants them to recover but what if a big threat appears? Will he only bring with him the eldunari of Glaedr and Umaroth and leave the other eldunari in safety or will he bring many of them with him in order to defeat the next threat if he feels that he has to partly rely on them?

Just my own personal theory. The menoa tree didn't actually take anything from eragon or saphira. She just wanted to fuck with them for waking her up.

Inheritance is filled with a ton of awesome moments. There’s a lot of intensity and lore in it and I think it’s one of the best “final books” ever. But there is one moment that I just find myself randomly remembering:

“The world is round, and the sky is hollow”

Something about that line just always stuck with me. The awe in Eragon and Saphira at their realization is written so well. I remember when I first read the book in high school I finished that chapter and then just read that section over and over again.

Paolini did such an amazing job conveying the overwhelming sense of wonder that someone would have upon discovering those two facts. And Gerard Doyle does an equally fantastic job in his delivery in the audiobook.

Idk why exactly this moment struck me so hard back then and has stuck with me for so long, but it genuinely might be my favorite single line in the entirety of the Inheritance Cycle. Just imaging how my perspective on life might change if, in the middle of such important events, I learned something so momentous. Something I take for granted as common knowledge because I learned it so young is actually this grand and profound piece of hidden knowledge for Eragon.

And he learns it not just in the middle of a war, but right after a harrowing and life-threatening incident on a perilous and necessary journey. And it’s not even the most profound thing he learns in that book. He later gets centuries-worth of knowledge poured into his brain by the Eldunari. But because this one is his knowledge, his realization, it holds so much more weight.

I just love it so much.

The world is round, and the sky is hollow

So I recently got a copy of the Eragon & Eldest combo books secondhand, and seeing as Brisingr & Inheritance never got the same treatment, I am SERIOUSLY considering taking my copies and making them into one copy (after I understand how to properly book bind). Am I insane for considering to attempt this, or am I a genius?

Dragonsteel Nexus

Christopher has just confirmed via his socials that he will be at Dragonsteel Nexus this year.

Panels

All TBA, but based on Christopher's tweet, he's expected to share a panel with Ryan Cahill again.

Grimoire

He's also added that he has already submitted stories, and so may be included in the Grimoire convention anthology again.

> Will you contribute to Grimoire this year?
> Possibly. Shawn has two of my stories sitting on his desk at the moment. (source)

Shawn Speakman posted the list of contributors two weeks ago, but has said that more names can still be added.

(Christopher contributed to the anthology last year. Last year's version is still available for purchase, though there seems to only be five copies left in stock.)

Badges

Badges for the convention have long since sold out, but there is a waitlist.

This post will be updated as more news becomes available.

Just reread all the Eragon books to my wife (helps her sleep), and I can't help but be excited for future additions to the series. I have been reading some threads and posts from various users in the community to try and get an idea of where the series is and I am not getting a clear idea. Apparently, Paolini has been making comments as far back as the mid 2000's when he was touring the original titles about content he would like to write. And more recently since the 2020's there have been various comments that he has already plotted several book ideas and yet some other quotes where he claimed he has made little to no progress. Many of his comments/quotes often conflict with each other and the only activity I have seen recently are various kick starters.

Is there anyone in community that can take this bag of snakes and lay them out straight for me?

• What are likely titles that Paolini is working on in the Eragon franchise and when are we likely to see them?

Because my current take based on various quotes taken out of context is that he is pinballing from one idea to the next and working on a tv series so we are unlikely to see anything soon. I want to have reasonable expectations. Is all this talk just hype to sell more versions of his books and should we be expecting little to nothing from Paolini? Or is there a pattern of Paolini delivering on projects he has discussed on a timely basis, and can we have reasonable hope for new titles soon?

(Edited for clarity)

Update: Yes, I read to my wife. We book club.

Conclusion:
As of August 2026, it appears that Tales from Alagaësia Volume 2 (Book of Remembrance + new short stories) is nearing completion and set for publishing next year (2027) with Murtagh Volume 2 on the agenda for some years after that with only a teaser chapter completed so far. Some musing about a new trilogy after that. Books are seemingly secondary to his work on the Eragon TV show for now.

Thanks for the feedback, it's good to have a reasonable understanding of where the series is and what to expect. Hope this also helps others who are checking in to see what is going in the series.

I dont know how she got them but I'm certain they're Glaedr's missing claw knuckles.

I’m trying to finally finish the series since I’ve owned the entire thing for about 10 years and never did. I’m in Brisingr right now, which was as far as I ever got when it was first coming out but hadn’t finished it and never touched Inheritance. This crazy man in a tower with so many ancient scrolls just pops up and Eragon realizes he’s nuts, so he leaves.

Is that it? Surely not? All these compendiums of ancient language that even the elves would probably find useful, just… off on the side because Eragon couldn’t be bothered to deal with a crazy?

Don’t worry about spoiling things for me, I never minded spoilers, otherwise I wouldn’t be on this subreddit before I finished the books lol
