The Influence of Power

Before becoming a dragon rider Eragon was just a poor farm boy in the village of Carvahall. Once he inherits the power of the dragon he becomes so much more, he becomes a beacon of hope for the Varden and all those who wish to be free of Galbatorix. All those people put their faith in what was once a simple farm boy

Galbatorix was once a noble Dragon Rider who fought to protect everyone. When his dragon died he snapped, he took control of another one and forced it to be his, driving that dragon insane. After gaining this power and the power of all the other dragons he kept Algaesia enslaved under his rule, while the power of the dragons kept him alive forever, non aging.
