Murtagh: Yeah, sure, my stupid kid brother is the leader of the Riders. But am I going to acknowledge that? F*ck no. I hate authority, and I am not giving him that ego boost. Now let’s go hunt down this witch and her cult.
Meanwhile, Eragon: *gets nervous when someone says he’s in charge* *literally could not sleep in a bed because Vrael used to sleep there* *turns down positions of authority almost every chance he gets* *is just a goofy little guy who would like to see his big bro every once in a while*

AND ANOTHER THING
Murtagh spends like 200 pages being said lonely and disenfranchised from humans elves and dwarves due to some war crimes (he didn't mean it! Couldn't help it! Enslaved against his will! But he still carries guilt and everyone blames him anyway!)
But then he earns the loyalty and support of werecats, a race that's powerful and cool but sorta on the fringes, and becomes blood Brothers with an urgal (Uvek Windtalker, absolute GOAT), a race that's pretty much universally despised and mistrusted by most of alagaesia for the front half of the series.
Like yes yes yes give me the most patchwork random assortment of a found family for my blorbo. I want dinner at Naduada's table with urgals and werecats and dragons and a random child with an enchanted fork and taste for blood. It's perfect.
Also I want someone to give Uvek a dragon if eragon said urgals could be riders 👏 GIVE 👏 UVEK👏 DRAGONNNN👏👏👏👏

So ever since the news Murtagh and Thorn were getting thier own book I’ve been morphing back into the feral 13 year old baby fangirl with her first book boyfriend.
Only this time, I’m 31 with the yarn skills to make a cardigan to snuggle in when I binge it! It’s so big and so cozy and 😍🥰. I am OBSESSED with it!

The cardigan was knit flat seamlessly from the bottom up with increases to make the wing silhouette. The fronts and back were worked separately with short row shoulder shaping and joined with Kitchener Stitch. Stitches were then picked up for the buttonband and sleeve cuffs.
The pattern is mine, but I haven’t released it because it’s only written in one size and not tech edited. I haven’t done much size grading but if there’s a lot of interest I’ll consider it! Yarn is Knit Picks Swish Bulky on US 10.5/6.5mm needles.

What is fascinating about Murtagh's use of magic, beyond his obvious lack of education compared to Eragon, is how much he relies on intent to direct his spells.
During his studies under Oromis, Eragon learnt to always use precise wording to get the results he wants. And due to his prior unintentional cursing of Elva, this is sth he remains very conscious of through for the rest of the series. It, of course, helps that he is basically fluent in the Ancient Language after his stay in Ellesmera.
But Murtagh knows only a handful of words (at least before he finds the dictionary), so throughout most of the book, he mainly uses short simple phrases and sometimes straight-up single word spells. And outside a couple of times in which other magic users' wards interfere with his spells, they turn out to be surprisingly reliable despite being incredibly vague.
While Murtagh is obviously behind Eragon in terms of magic, I think it is fascinating to see how much use he is able to get out his very limited knowledge of magic theory and the Ancient Language through his own creativity.
In a way, his lack of a formal education in magic really allows him to try new things (which is not always good due to the obvious danger of magic experiments ).
It also makes me think back to Brom starting to teach magic to Eragon. He explains that a true master would be able to create a gemstone just with the use of the singular word "water".

Your honour, I accept that my client has committed war crimes, but have you considered that he was bullied as a child?

Something I realized about Murtagh, a factor of why he got into fights in or behind a bar, is because he’s flaunting his coin!!!
Dude! I expected you to be smarter about this!
Yes, you need information, and gold payments (Fulsome Feast in Ceunon), and offering to pay for a bar-wide round (Gil’ead) is a good way to get to people talking. However, it’s signifies how much coin you have in your purse and makes you a target of possible attempted murder and robbery! You know this! You grew up among the young couriers in a capital city! You. Know. This!
Lack of a decent information network as an excuse, only works for so long.
(Also, it is not good to distress your dragon! He gets worried about you and he will break a town for you.)

I love love loveeee Murtagh Morzansson from Christopher Paolini's Inheritance Cycle 😭😭 he's just such a neat character? And when Paolini announced that a whole new sequel series based on Murtagh was starting this fall? (I preordered immediately) I absolutely had to draw the guy and capture his whole character as soon as I heard the news. But of course, I was just starting out my new style on a new drawing tablet and application, so I lost faith in it for awhile before finally coming back. I love this piece a lot <3 ☆☆ I'm going over on how I rendered this piece in a future video coming soon! I also talk about Murtagh and trash the Eragon movie, lol ☆☆

My last Murtagh book post had me thinking....
What song would you sing to taunt Murtagh into wanting to throw a boot at you?
