Encyclopedia Alagaësia: Menoa Tree
Follow Me, by Marek Okon, © 2008, courtesy Deviant Art.
Before Du Fyrn Skulblaka and before the Fair Folk were effectively immortal, the Menoa tree was created when the master plant singer Linnëa melded herself with the oldest tree in Du Weldenvarden. It was an unusual reaction to an age old problem: she had fallen in love with a much younger man, but over time he lost interest.

Encyclopedia Alagaësia: Arya
Born in 7899 AC, one year before the Fall of the Riders, Arya grew up in Ellesméra, residing in Tialdarí Hall with her mother Queen Islanzadí. Her father, Evandar, had been killed while trying to defend Ilirea from Galbatorix and the Forsworn, so she likely didn’t have many memories of their time together. Some of her favorite pastimes included writing poetry, singing, and caring for bonsai.
Arya’s childhood and early adulthood were saturated with troubling times—Galbatorix’s influence was f...

If the former, how rare are they in comparison to humans (and werecats)? If the latter, which was it before the magic affecte...
