Warchief

From Inheriwiki, the ever-growing Inheritance database

A warchief was a Urgal tribe leader, who, like most Urgals, was skilled in warfare. Garzhvog was a great warchief from the Spine.

In the Urgal tongue, it was signified by the title "Nar".

Garzhvog rose to warchief when others didn't because of the difficult challenges he put himself in, and successfully completed. In Urgal culture, war and contention were used as a platform to increase one's status. The females would not consider any Urgal who hadn't bested at least three opponents. We learned in "Brisingr" that Garzhvog went out and confronted a massive cave bear when he first got his horns. He killed it, and used the bears stomach to cook the deer stew he shared with Eragon.
