Doru Araeba

From Inheriwiki, the ever-growing Inheritance database

Doru Araeba was the capital of Vroengard, where the Dragon Riders once lived and trained.

[edit] Facts

Little is known about Doru Araeba except the fact that it was once the base and headquarters of the Dragon Riders before The Fall. It is presumed to be desolate although there could still be structures or debris from when Galbatorix overran it.

It is known that the epic battle between Galbatorix and the last Dragon Rider Vrael was set there.

It is also known that Brom's dragon Saphira was killed there by the Forsworn.

[edit] Location

Doru Araeba was situated in the far corner of Alagaësia on the island of Vroengard. This may be because of the fact that it is separated from the land, and therefore only easy to reach by Dragon Riders.

[edit] Theories

Doru Araeba might have a bigger role to play in Book IV. It could be where Eragon retires, although this is unlikely seeing as it has been foretold he will leave Alagaësia forever but because it's an island that could count as leaving Alagaësia, the problem is, that Vroengard is still within Alaegasia's boundaries

The Riders could be re-established and it could become a homing ground for them once again, restored to its old magnificence, or it might not get a mention at all.

Also it may harbor wild dragons who hid in The Fall. Or at the very least there may be a former Riders who lost their dragons or perhaps dragon eggs and Eldunari.

Doru Araeba may also be the location for the possible battle between Eragon and Galbatorix. If Eragon and Galbatorix do fight then this is likely because with the wards placed on Galbatorix's black citadel it would be hard for Eragon to simply march to his doorstep.

Doru Araeba may house the Vault of Souls.
