when Eragon leaves alagasia, he might just go to vrongaurd, after all, that isn't in alagasia, it's nearby.. and i have to many ideas to put to electronic ink ;)
i think eragon's sword is awsome, and I think that if Galbatorix's sword wasn't black, it proably would be blood red, like Zar'oc (is that spelled right?) what do you think happened to Brom's sword?
