Well then, there has to be a reason why the elves hold 2 riders' swords, not counting Naegling. |

The book says as follows; "So far as I knew, only four examples of my art still existed. His sword, Oromis's and two others guarded by families who managed to rescue them from the Wyrdfell." Eldest, 302. As I understand it the swords were rescued, I am asumming after the Wyrdfell died. Otherwise how could have they rescued them? Nowhere I can see a connection with Linnea. We simply are not told anything about them OR for that matter, of the identities of the families who are guarding the other two swords. |

true, but my guess is that the families are outside the empire. and remember how Eragon was revolted by having one of the Forsworn's swords? I don't think he wants one again. |

Your guess can go either way; they could have been salvaged by humans or elven folks. We don't know that, so it is not correct to state that Linnea's family or family tree has anything to do with the fabled "weapon in the roots of the Menoa tree." We can only guess or speculate that Eragon MAY receive Brom's sword. The only fact which CP has given us is the following: "Brom? " She hefted Zar'roc. "Brom... I remember Brom. He begged me to replace the sword he had lost. Truly, I wished to help him but I had already taken my oath." Eldest, 302 We do not know what CP's implication or connotation meant when he wrote this and many others lines. |

I am not bursting bubbles here, I am simply stating what I concluded based on what the book says. At this point there is a lot of speculating, guessing and wishing. People can interpret the passages to their liking and perception. I shared my interpretation and no one has to agree with it. I do not have the habit of forcing my views on anyone, nor subjecting them to ridicule because they disagree. I simply declare them, explain them but that's about it. How Brom's sword would come to Eragon is a mystery. Would it fit perfectly if we finally had some type of assurance that Brom is truly his father, absolutely. I believe he would be honored to know it belonged to him even if at the end it turns out they're not father and son. We see how awed and greatful he felt when he received Brom's ring from Ajihad. Much more would it be if he received Brom's Rider sword. And bigger would be his impact if they would be of kin. |
