  Eragon (character) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eragon (pronounced EHR-uh-gahn, or dragon with an E) is the main protagonist of the Inheritance trilogy, written by Christopher Paolini.
Eragon also meets Angela's werecat, Solembum, who speaks to him and tells him that when he is in need of a weapon, he should look under the Menoa Tree, and to speak his name at the Rock of Kuthian to open the Vault of Souls when his power is insignificant.
Eragon respects Nasuada and she is fond of him, but as of the second book in the trilogy they have not shown romantic interest in each other, even when Murtagh was captured and supposedly killed, and later when he betrayed them.

This character set is used for most printing in Mainland China, Malaysia and Singapore whereas traditional characters are used in Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan.
Partly because of this association, a third round of character simplifications, drafted in 1977, never reached the public, and the authorities formally rescinded it in 1986.
For instance, the character 鬆(loose) was simplified as 松(pines), with the semantic element taken away (the upper part of the character).

When Eragon finds a polished blue stone in the forest, he thinks it is the lucky discovery of a poor farm boy; perhaps it will buy his family meat for the winter.

The reader is told what a spectacular fighter Eragon is, but almost every fight ends up with him being knocked unconscious and waking up in captivity.

While Eragon does not have the epic scale of LOTR, it compares favorably to LOTR in several ways.
In writing a single-focus story with the title character Eragon in every scene, Paolini puts an equal emphasis on character and plot development, often delving into Eragon's thoughts.
Eragon's one negative is actually another similarity to LOTR: an unsatisfying end to book one, which may, suggest the trilogy may be like LOTR, one long, continuous story rather than three standalone books.
