1. New Carvahall

Chapter: 1 new Carvahall

Griffon sat on the edge of the bed in the inn of new Carvahall built on top of the ruins of the original town from 20 years ago in Palancar valley by Earl Roran Stronghammer.

Griffon yawned and stretched, he was a young boy barely 13, and had apprenticed himself to the blacksmith in town Baldor Horstson. He had left his home in Dras-Leona to start a living for himself. He scratched his Brownish/ gold hair and rubbed his Green eyes and yawned before dressing in a simple blue tunic and white trousers and hunting boots before strapping on his belt and hunting knife. Then proceeded downstairs to the first floor of the Shining palm inn, a tribute to Eragon Shadeslayer. The innkeeper, a man named Edward grunted and continued to wash the countertop. Griffon nodded back casually back and considered breakfast, but decided against it when he saw that he was going to be late. Pulling on his overcoat from the peg he left it on last night, he hurried out the door to the blacksmiths forge. When Griffon arrived, Baldor was at the grinding wheel. The smith nodded and pointed to a pile of weapons. Griffon nodded and walked over; weapons damaged by sparring soldiers had been brought in that morning. Griffon inspected each and mentally noted which they could repair and set them into 2 piles, those he could fix, and those were beyond repair (seldom ever had he came across one in the pile) And then set to repairing those he could, sharpening blades, replacing pommels, and similar.

2 hours later Baldor put his hand on Griffons shoulder "you've came far boy, and I've got a proposition for you." Griffon raised an eyebrow, curious. "I'm heading off to Gil'lead to visit a friend of mine in a month or so and I thought you might like to come along and see how other smiths make items unique to thier region so you can get more experience for yourself." Griffon's response was immediate "Yes!" He could already assume the rugged smiths "friend" might be someone famous, he had fought with Roran Stronghammer and Eragon shadeslayer for God's sake! And as Baldor said, he did have to see some various forging techniques if he was to be a blacksmith.

A month and half later the 2 set out for Gil'lead. He was right too. Baldor eventually revealed his "friend was a dragon rider called Doarc ShadowBlade. He had damged his bracers in a skirmish with some killers and sent them to Baldor for repair, and the smith had decided to deliver the items in question himself.
