Prologue

Five and Twenty years had passed since Eragon Shadeslayer vanquished the Black King and the people of Alagaesia lived in a prolonged period of peace and prosperity. During this time Eragon reunited with his half brother Murtagh and together they set about the restoration of the Island of Vroengard. It was a long arduous process but by the twenty second year together with the help of the Eldunari they used their vast knowledge of magic to establish a huge breathtaking city upon the southern shores of the island. The brothers named the city Selenia after their late mother and from there they set up base of the New Rider Capital.

A new system was introduced where upon every year on the day of the Anniversary of the Black Kings downfall , Murtagh and Thorn would scour a region of Alagaesia. In their posession they would carry three dragon eggs of the Eldunari's choosing from Vault of Souls. On their travels they would stop at every town and village they came across, be it Human, Elven, Dwarven or Urgal. Their first venture to Surda had proved sucessful, Murtagh had returned to Selenia accompanied by a young lowborn Human girl by the name of Raiana astride the beautiful female purple Dragon, Enae. However the second years visit to Du Weldenvarden had been quite the opposite. Murtagh visited countless Elven towns and villages and thousands of Men,Women and Children both high born and low had been presented to the chosen eggs but they had remained stubborn, deeming none of them worthy so Murtagh was forced to returned to the Capital empty handed.

So the Brothers focused their attentions purely on Raiana and Enae and under there instruction the two flourished, quickly growing into a formidable partnership. Selenia was not only home to the Riders and their Dragons, The entire population of Werecats had also taken up residence. They too had flourished there and the city had become densely populated with the strange shape shifting beings that Eragon held in high esteem.

The twenty fifth Anniversary of the Fall of the Empire soon came around and Murtagh and Thorn had taken to the wind once again, Towards the Beor Mountains this time and the many Dwarven cities that lay concealed within.
