Chapter 19 Summary: “Gifts of Gold”

After the meeting, Saphira leaves for a solo hunt and to bathe in the Jiet River. Eragon performs a spell to extract gold from the ground into three orbs, which takes a big toll on his energy levels. Eragon uses one of the spheres to repay three hides he stole to make a saddle for Saphira. Eragon visits Jeod and his wife, Helen; Jeod is searching to find hidden ways into the Empire, as Eragon was able to do with Galbatorix’s castle. Eragon has come to tell him how Brom died; Jeod had been his best friend before Brom disappeared for 17 years. They spend some time together discussing Morzan (the first powerful dragon-rider for Galbatorix who died long before the story takes place), Selena (known as the Black Hand), and their son Murtagh. Selena’s true identity was a secret that Brom discovered and shared with a small group. She died soon after Morzan, but not before betraying him to save Eragon’s life.

 

Jeod has a book for Eragon called Domia abr Wyrda (Dominance of Fate), a complete history of Alagaësia that Jeod brought from his library in Teirm; Eragon knows this book, as Brom identified it as Jeod’s most rare and valuable tome—although Galbatorix has accumulated six.
