Dear favorite writer. I read the Inheritance cycle a few years ago and I have to confess it quickly became my favorite readings of my entire life. I think that you've heard and asked this question like a hundred times but I just really have to know: ¿Are you going to continue Alagësia's Story? and my other question is ¿Am I going to know something else about Murtagh and Nasuada's story too? :3

Glad to hear you enjoy the series! Yes, I do plan to write Book Five, another story set in Alagaësia. You can read more about it here: https://www.paolini.net/stuff/article.... It'll feature many familiar characters and introduce some new ones as well!
I'm currently working on the second draft of my new science fiction novel (https://www.paolini.net/books/sci-fi-...) and plan to write a few other stories I've been dreaming about for many years before jumping into Book Five. Hopefully you will enjoy them as much as or more than the Inheritance Cycle!

Dear Christopher Paolini, I am currently writing a fan-fiction of Eragon (I say this hesitantly not knowing your stance) and I realized that I might need some more words in the ancient language. It might just be me who writes (or tries to) full on dictionaries for her stories that have made up languages, but you wouldn't happen to have written a full dictionary of the ancient language? Thanks! -Michelle

Christopher Paolini:
This is an aspiring writer distress call: How does one write a diabolical villain that isn't cliche?? That's probably a bit of a loaded question without context. I have ideas for a betrayal between characters that could make a great villain later, but I need an actual mastermind/group of baddies. The main plot point hinges on foul play going on behind the scenes. Any advice or books about writing villains? Thanks!

I could not fit in my last question in the previous message, which is why I am writing this. I want to ask which languages you borrow from to create the various languages of Alagäesia? I know for a fact that Tolkien took some things from Finnish for his elven language, and seeing that you must have taken some inspiration from him, I would like to study what you drew inspiration from for your language.
