While driving to a nearby town, Ann-Marie and I were listening to Eldest again, when it hit us. Brom was a "seer". He had the gift of foresight and so does Eragon. Herein lies the relationship of "son and father alike, both blind as bats. Evidence to back it up; "So it starts again. But how and where it will end? My sight is veiled; I cannot tell if this be tragedy or farce, for the elements of both are here.... However it may be, my station is unchaned, and I..." Brom-Eragon 98 Then we are told by Oromis: "Brom came from a family of illuminators in Kuasta. His mother was Nelda and his father Halcomb." Oromis-Eldest 280 This means the Eragons dreams are not scrying or premonitions, they are visions. It also means that we have more evidence to support that Brom is Eragon's father and not Morzan! * Twirls and does the happy dance* Any thoughts! |

Wow, awesome theorie! I just don't get why the first quote is an evidence?
:blink: Anyway, I hope his gift will help him to fight against Galbatorix. It already helped him with finding Arya. Do you think he'll have to be trained a second time? |

"Blind as bats" refers to the fact that they can have visions into the future and not interpret them correctly. Same thing with Eragon, he "sees" Ayra in the cell but cannot understand the vision even if it troubles him for some time. "So it starts again. But how and where it will end? My sight is veiled; I cannot tell if this be tragedy or farce, for the elements of both are here.... However it may be, my station is unchaned, and I..." Brom-Eragon 98 As I see it, Brom cannot understand where his future will take him in the trainning of his son as a Rider. I may be wrong, but so far that's my interpretation! :huh: |

You cannot imagine the joy we felt when we made the connection. I was so angry, shock and broken hearted thinking of the possibility of Morazan being Eragon's father. This connection lifted our spirits!!!! Yey! |

Hihi, that must have looked funny, though... ^^ Anyway, I'm not that satisfied with it... Eragon loses one dark side deep inside him... And it would have been interesting to see how he would have dealt with the fact that Morzan was his father... And it supports the thesis of "der Apfel fällt nicht weit vom Stamm" (he's a chip off the old block) *coughDictionarysuckscough* Murtagh (if he should reall turn out to be evil) is very much like his father. Eragon on theother hand would be like Brom was - a rebell and rider. I don't like the idea that one is bound to the familie's fate. I like Brom, though. Good for Eragon. |

"So it starts again. But how and where it will end? My sight is veiled; I cannot tell if this be tragedy or farce, for the elements of both are here.... However it may be, my station is unchaned, and I..." Brom-Eragon 98 I am referring to this specific excerpt. |

he can't guess what will come. it has nothing to do with him being able to see the future. Eragon can't turn on the visions; what makes you think that Brom can? |

What I am saying is that they both have the ability to have the "VISIONS", and not be able to interpret them correctly, not even adequately! |

I thought what Blagden meant, was maybe in their choice of friendship? Eragon trusted Murtagh, he turned evil, Brom trusted Morzan, he turned evil- see where I'm going? lol. Anyway, that was what I thought originally, but I agree with your idea too Lady Phoenix. |

You are right as to the first and most important comparison of the riddle and the connection to them as father and son. I just found it curious as how this one can fit in the theory too! Not as revealing, to a lesser extent, but nevertheless an indication. |

Another Except which can be used to back the Paternity link! This excerpt is during the conversation Brom and Joed have while Eragon is "eavesdropping" on them: Brom grunted. After a long silence he said, "We'd better go out and join Eragon. I get worried when he's alone. That boy has a natural propensity for being whereever there's trouble." "Are you surprised?" "Not really." Eragon, 187 Joed makes the comment. I am assuming since Brom was one to stir trouble, (as we learned in Eldest,) then it seems natural Eragon would follow in his footsteps. Brom, to my understanding, affirms it when he answers, "Not really." |
