I’d love to know Rhünon’s thoughts on how Riders name their swords. Does she have a no-judgement policy? Did Vrael have to sit her down for a chat when her bluntness reduced twelve new Riders into tears because of their terrible name choices? I mean, just look at Brom and Morzan:

Morzan: I name this blade Misery, for misery it shall bring to all my enemies!

Brom: And I’ll name mine Void-biter, for its edge carries the bite of death!

Rhünon, bribed copiously by Vrael to keep her thoughts to herself: Who let these edgelords have dragons—

#inheritance cycle #brom (inheritance cycle)#morzan (inheritance cycle)#rhünon (inheritance cycle)#rhunon (inheritance cycle)#yeah in case you didn’t know undbitr means void-biter. if i’d known this at 12 years old i’d have been much more obsessed with brom.#hmmmm i could write something about that actually #how eragon and murtagh name/rename their blades to be positive #while their fathers named their swords so negatively #and how eragon never even SEES undbitr because it’s lost #while murtagh has to/chooses to carry that legacy of misery and make something better of it #something something eragon was sheltered from the darkness of his own history while murtagh is almost smothered by it #it’s little things like this that remind me why i’m obsessed with these books
