The Battle of Carvahall occurred when Imperial troops were sent to question Roran as to the location of his cousin, Eragon Shadeslayer. The loyal townspeople refused to give Roran up, and a battle ensued.

[edit] Imperial Occupation
One day Roran was hunting and stumbled upon an Imperial camp. When he went back to Carvahall, he learned they were looking for him, so Roran fled into the Spine. The Imperial army set up base directly outside Carvahall while searching for him. The army did not treat the people well. Quimby, the husband of Birgit and father of Nolfavrell, was killed by a drunken soldier. The Ra'zac, who were commanding the army, gave the drunk no punishment. In fact, they ate Quimby's body and returned only his bones.
[edit] The Attack
This act greatly angered the people, so Roran was spirited back into the village, where he led an attack against the Imperial troops. Sloan, however, betrayed the men of Carvahall, and murdered Byrd in the process. This act was apparently meant to help Katrina Ismirasdaughter. The men of Carvahall were able to push the enemy out, at first, but the Empire continued to attack causing irreplacable losses on the Carvahall militia, while the Imperial troops began to receive reinforcements.
[edit] Casualties
[edit] The Escape
Roran convinced most of Carvahall to leave the town because of the conflict. He then led the people in a mass exodus down the coast of Alagaësia to Teirm where several of the village elders died with the bitter weather, where they commandeered the Dragon Wing and sailed to Surda. They arrived in time to aid the Varden in the Battle of The Burning Plains.
