Íorûnn

“She might make an excellent queen, but she’s so devious, it’s impossible to know whether she would support the Varden once she was enthroned.”
~ Eragon

Íorûnn was chief of dwarven clan Vrenshrrgn and considered a great beauty. She excelled at politics, using her cleverness and cunning to manipulate her way to the top of the heap. Readers first meet her during deliberations to elect the next dwarf monarch following King Hrothgar’s death.
