Eragon and Saphira chose to leave voluntary and can return anytime they wish? Nothing is preventing their return? The wording of prophesy is often open to many interpretations. Has nothing to do with the true name of the land although that would have been a clever way to get around this little obstacle. DestinyWielder: Did Galbatorix know about wordless magic and he was just too arrogant to guard against it? It was a combination of arrogance and ignorance. Galbatorix did know of some wordless magic.
He was aware, for example, that dragons could sometimes work magic without words and the same for spirits. It was the effect of the spells he had to guard against, not the cause. On top of that, Galbatorix never thought to protect himself against a spell worded or otherwise that sought to help him, not harm him.
Hopefully this answers your question! There have been debates about whether or not this action really helped Eragon at all in defeating Galbatorix. I think it did and allowed Eragon to actually pull off a victory. Not even close. We never did find out for sure, did we? The obvious answer would be the Twins and Galbatorix was bluffing later on about his sources in the Varden. The idea of doing a dragon in the old sense, as the force of nature and all-consuming vengeful creature that comes down out of the north, is very archetypal and strangely enough something I had never written before.
I really wanted to! Of course, we always see ourselves differently from other people see us. In so many fantasy novels we have the big scary monsters who show up and kill people and disappear into the wilderness, but the question is: How do they see themselves? Do they have the capacity to change? Since the book has come out, one of the most gratifying and interesting things for me has been seeing the reactions of people who grew up with them.
Christian Holub. As interesting a plot twist as this concept would have been, this theory was shot down almost immediately. Angela is over years old, and for her to be Selena, Selena would be a century old, which would likely make her brother, Garrow, also ancient. I mean, come on. We know that Brom and Angela encountered each other more than once. Comparatively, Oromis also met Angela, and when he was shown a fairth of Selena, he did not recognize the woman as Angela.
If the women were one in the same, Oromis would not be so daft so as not to notice, nor would any others, for that matter. Just reading that idea drained me of my energy. I find myself wanting to believe it, despite the fact that it is purely speculation. This concept pushes Angela beyond the realm of normal men, and turns her into something ancient, frightening, and endlessly wise. In a way, looking at playful Angela in this light makes her seem far more foreboding. They bound magic, in its entirety, so that it could be tied to their language- the ancient language.
So great was their feat that the Grey Folk exhausted their power. The race was left as a shallow remnant of their previous existence as they slowly faded into oblivion. How, then, does Angela come into play? We know very little about the Grey Folk, and Paolini did not elaborate following his brief introduction- thus, this theory is not so easily debunked. Because of our lack of information, we can only associate the Grey Folk with their basic traits: they were strong, wise, and mysterious. In a vague way, this matches Angela perfectly.
The herbalist is strange, strong, wise, and very mysterious; she seems to be a human, but she is old, possibly ancient. A fellow researcher closes this theory with this thought:. As I was researching, another theory popped up on my computer screen that I initially ignored- Angela used to be a Dragon Rider. This was one of those theories that I quickly scanned and dismissed with an eye roll, until I read some of the proof.
In a few ways, it makes sense. Before the Fall of the Riders, Angela may have been a Rider herself. According to the theory, Angela lost her dragon and, like Brom, lived on alone. This theory is satisfying enough, and it helps us to understand the matter of her impossible age, her importance in the Varden and among the elves, and her first hand commentary on important events of old.
Likewise, the matter of her friendship with Solembum may be resolved by Angela being a fallen Rider- such a person would get along well with a werecat. Oromis especially, as an Elder, would certainly recognize a living Rider who had learned on Vroengard before the Fall.
There was no recognition between the two when they encountered each other in Teirm, so this theory remains unresolved and unlikely. Are you still with me?
There are so many possibilities, it seems endless. This next theory is almost proven fact, as it is widely believed by many fans following the release of Inheritance. It is theorized that Angela the herbalist is actually an oracle and seer, or otherwise known as the Soothsayer.
It is also possible that she is a half-elf or even a werecat. Some speculate that she is a hybrid of all the races or perhaps an unknown race altogether. This theory is supported by the fact that she knows the customs of most of the races.
In Brisingr, Arya said "if we judge by years and not wisdom, no human would be considered an adult among my kind. Except Galbatorix". Angela implies that she is human by responding "And me", however this comment could have been due to her being aware of the other characters' assumption that Angela is human or due to Angela possibly being partly human rather than actually being fully human.
Angela owned a shop next to Jeod's house in Teirm. She first encountered Eragon there, when he and Brom asked directions to Jeod's house. She told them how she was trying to prove that the toad in her hand was really a frog , since there was no such thing as toads, only frogs, therefore concluding that toads cannot be used for anything bad, for example; making teeth fall out, causing warts, poisoning or killing people, as well as also preventing witches from using them in any spells.
Using a dragon's knucklebones, she read Eragon's fortune. Although she was able to discern almost everything, she claimed that it was the most complicated fortune that she had ever seen. Later on, in Eldest , Gertrude says that she has heard of Angela as "a remarkable herbalist, Angela by name, who lives here and is supposed to work the most amazing cures, perhaps a touch of magic". Eragon saw Angela with the Varden when he first arrived there.
Angela accompanied the Varden when Nasuada led them to Surda, becoming Nasuada's unofficial adviser. This act, though rebuked by Orik , greatly aided the Varden in their victory. Angela did not seem to be proud of her tactics though.
Also, Orik said that she had been welcomed in the Varden "for decades ". She was one of the very few who were allowed to stay with the Varden without their mind being inspected by the Twins. She met the Werecat King Grimrr Halfpaw , though there was some animosity between the two. Angela reveals her name, although not necessarily her true name, to the High Priest of Helgrind who was horrified, showing she was known among some as being powerful.
However, it is notable that Angela was never under the command of any monarch or faction. She refused to allow the Varden to inspect her thoughts, as she had been with them long before they started the practice.
However, she was certainly in favour of the idea of Galbatorix being overthrown and supported the Varden, albeit somewhat half-heartedly at times. Rather than submit to Nasuada's plans for the regulation of magic, Angela again disappeared, though Jeod advised other members of the Arcaena to keep watch for her.
She claimed to Eragon that she would likely settle in the Beor Mountains. While not directly said, there is some speculation that Angela could be the oracle that lived in the Hall of the Soothsayer mentioned by King Galbatorix while he was torturing Nasuada. He explained she was neither human, dwarf, nor elf. In book three, she is referred to as "seer.
