#and murtagh always feels vaguely guilty about it but lets eragon babysit her all the time to make up for it

Asdfghjk okay listen I don’t think he’d have a ton of kids but the mental image of “any other kids [named] after tornac” is just bringing to mind a slew of children all named some variation of tornac. “Tor.” “Nack.” “Tora.” “Nora.” Everyone is confused and bewildered as he tearfully names a child Canrot.

Aiedail Base: Moon Base, the Sequel

First of all, incredibly rude of the Inheriwiki not to have even a stub page for Aiedail, the Morning Star.

Second of all, HEY. Astronomy time. Y'all know what a morning star is?

IT'S A PLANET.

Now I know a base/outpost/whatever on another planet is much much MUCH less feasible than a moon base but honestly this post is less about "ha ha what if the Dragon Riders had a moon base" and more "hey there's a whole planet with a whole name given linguistically significant attention despite not having any plot focus at all, and also Angela is in the sci-fi book, mr Paolini is either Alagaësia or Aiedail a COLONY PLANET?"

anyway I don't have time to like. write an essay about it or anything but Aiedail is one of the first words Brom teaches to Eragon and a morning star is usually a planet (Venus is our IRL morning star, for the record) and we know at least that spells to travel in super high altitudes are established so. hey. yeah. think about it.
