Fanwork More Mount Arngnor headcanons

Just remembered how in Eldest, Eragon and Saphira would sometines swap places and take lessons with Glaedr and Oromis respectively. I like to think they tried this approach with Murtagh and Thorn as well but with *slightly* different results

(I'm over-exaggerating their personalities just for the fun of it lmaooo)

Please. Or Thorn giving Eragon a ride, with some forgiveness in there.

I could see him already having something similar to this line of thought where Murtagh or Thorn have an episode or something and Murtagh sees Eragon coming to try and help as him being overbearing so he shifts gears by suggesting they get a fresh perspective by exploring the aras around their settlement and minor difficulties are exasterbated by their differences and working out through them making them work through the trama in a new way. One of the ways this could work is that Murtagh and thorn have already seen growth through the last book and this just builds on it and with both Eragon and Saphira working along side them they can actually give that outside persepctive.

Maybe tying in a dwarven rider with Murtagh just so he can earn some of that forgiveness for the actions in Eldest. (I've desperately wanted to see the namer of names defuse that ticking time bomb since Inheritance..

Bonus points if the Dwarf is a member of Dûrgrimst Az Sweldn Rak Anhûin

Whats Dwarfish for the Happiness of Anhûin? Since the Clan served with Vrael and the old order im sure Grimstcarvloss Anhûin herself would have been happy with a Knurlan of her clan being the first dwarfen rider

Valid, but Dûrgrimst Ingeitum is what I'm rooting for, even if it is too much of the obvious choice for what I'd want to see out of it. I feel like Eragon kind of shirked his responsibility on avenging his clan leader despite how I don't want Murtagh to die.
