![]() Kvetha Fricäya! Greetings, Friends! I am pleased to tell you that the title of Book Three in the Inheritance cycle is Brisingr. Sometimes one’s first thought is best, and so it was with naming this book. After many months of trying to sum up a complex story in a single word, it struck me that I had had the name all along. For reasons that will become clear when you read Brisingr, this title is perfect. Brisingr is an Old Norse word for “fire.” As you may remember, in Eragon, Brom uses the word brisingr to start a fire. This is the first time Eragon hears an ancient language word, a word of magic. Later, when Eragon is cornered by Urgals in Yazuac, he shouts “Brisingr!” to great effect (see Eragon—chapters "Revelation at Yazuac" and "Admonishments"). Both elements of the cover, the gold dragon Glaedr and the title, touch on Eragon’s inheritance. With his painting, John Jude Palencar has captured the dignity and wisdom of Glaedr, and Random House has again designed an awesome book cover. More exciting news is on the horizon . . . May your swords stay sharp! Christopher Paolini. Well, isn't that original? <_< |

Wow...for a second there I thought at first you wrote that, and then I thought CP came to this forum. Thank goodness he didn't. What anger he would have with Post's comments. |

Well, I can't belive he did that! It's fairly obvious that he either couldn't or wouldnt pay for a new cover painting or couldnt think of a new more interesting title! Argh! |

It's the Inheritance Cycle now. Eh. I'm with him on what he said about length. Accoding to him, if a book gets around or over 900 pages, it's clearly a little big. That's why he split it up. |

Sounds better; the Inheritance Cycle. And my friend doesn't know how CP plagiarized. Please list the things that he copied. I got: 1. Eragon and Aragon difference. |

Aragorn, or misspelling of dragon? BTW, see the other topics in the Inheritance subforum. |

Ugh... Who cares if he's drawn from Tolkien? Who hasn't? I've read the Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings series1,and The Inheritance Cycle, yet I still like all of them. Paolini took a world he liked and read about as a child and made it his own. I see it as an original work, drawing upon old masters for help. |

Refer to the Fountainhead to how that can be dangerous of being too dependent on the true talented people (i.e. Peter Keating[sp]). |

Eragon's High Fantasy. High fantasy can never be original. The only innovation in the genre the past decade has been the Chainmail Bikini. Woo. |

Why must people keep changing their Avatars? He hasn't just drawn upon old masters, he borders upon plaigarizing them. |

Of course you would like the Inheritance Cycle, it's basically a collection of old classics. Only without the rights. And under a different author. Basically plagiarized work. But WELCOME!
