[edit] History
Utgard Mountain was the mountain to which Vrael fled after being wounded by Galbatorix. The tower was built after the Palancar Crisis. Utgard has a small role in the book Eragon after Eragon and Brom get horses from Therinsfold. Eragon and Brom have to round the base of Utgard and descend out of Palancar Valley. At this point in the book, Eragon has a small revelation realizing he himself has become part of the ancient order of Dragon Riders.
