Vroengard was an island located off the coast of northern Alagaësia. It was home to Doru Araeba, the city of the Dragon Riders. Among the ruins of Doru Araeba the Rock of Kuthian, the magically sealed entrance to the Vault of Souls, was located.

History Edit

Before the Fall, the island was the home of the Dragon Riders. The city of Doru Araeba, located in the east of Vroengard, was their capital.

It was also the site of the last battle of the fight between Galbatorix and the Forsworn and the Riders where Vrael, the leader of the Dragon Riders, made his last stand in battle against Galbatorix, before his flight to Utgard Mountain. During this battle, a Dragon Rider named Thuviel performed a spell on himself, apparently as a last-ditch attempt to destroy the attackers, in which he converted every atom in his body into pure energy, most likely by the process of nuclear fission. The spell killed Thuviel and resulted in a blast of cataclysmic proportions, decimating the island but failing to kill Galbatorix and the Forsworn, who shielded themselves. The explosion also resulted in the entire island being contaminated with an "invisible poison," which is probably radiation, given the nature of the effects caused by it, such as skin lesions. Glaedr, however, did not know this word to describe it (the concept being beyond the understanding of the science of the time), and so simply stated it to be an "invisible poison."

Wildlife Edit

The island was home to several varieties of unique wildlife. Notable among these were the snalglí, a species of gigantic snail that the dragons enjoyed eating for food. After the blast of energy, caused by a rider splitting the atoms of his body, the poison (a.k.a. radiation) in the island corrupted much of the wildlife, causing them to adopt unusual physical and magical characteristics, such as burrow grubs.
