Early Life

Eragon spent his early life living on his Uncle's farm. The farm was located in the town of Carvahall. Eragon never knew his true father and was left motherless when his mother, Selena, vanished after he was born. Eragon was left in the care of his Uncle Garrow and his Aunt Marian. Marian also soon died and was left to be raised by Garrow and Garrow's son, Roran. The family earned their money by doing farming and hunting. Eragon was a skilled hunter. He was brave enough to hunt in the Spire, which few ever went into. Eragon's life would change in the Spire when he found a strange blue "stone".

Life as a Dragon Rider

Eragon took  this blue stone home with him to Carvahall. After a few days Eragon is surprised to see a creature hatch from this egg. The creature was a rare creature, a dragon.

Eragon and Saphira escape from Carvahall by fleeing to the Spine. Once Eragon returns, he is welcomed with his only home destroyed and his only father-figure Garrow dead.
