Ask Christopher Paolini your questions
Shur’tugal.com is currently accepting submissions for their monthly questions and answer session with Christopher Paolini, the young bestselling fantasy author.
To ask Christopher a question, or to see his answers from the two prior sessions, visit http://www.shurtugal.com/?news=697.
Here are the questions, that will answered soon, during the second Q&A:
- Was Vrael an elf or human?
- Were all of the Forsworn humans? Were they all males?
- If a dragon hatches for a person, what happens if someone else touches it before that person?
- If you cast a spell that expends too much energy you die. Does this apply to a dragon inside an Eldunari?
- On page 530 in Brisingr, Saphira refers to Thorn as “stunted-thoughts-red-scales-Thorn.” Is she simply insulting him, or does she mean that his actual mind has been harmed by his magically rapid growth? And, if that is the case, how would Saphira know? Has she communicated with Thorn?
- In Eldest, Oromis said something about how it’s not speaking the words that matters for magic, but thinking them. Why then is Eragon so shocked at Tenga using unspoken magic?
- Did Galbatorix allow Morzan and the other members of the Forsworn access to some Eldunari as he did with Murtagh?
- How does Galbatorix know that the last dragon egg contains a male?
- You mentioned in your last Q&A that it was Eragon, not Oromis that inspired the Dragons at the Blood Oath Celebration to use their magic. Also Eragon did the same for Saphira during the Dwarves’s Coronation with Isidar Mithrim, is it possible that Eragons Character, what defines him allows him to help the Dragons work their magic? by that I mean, somehow, does something about him help the Dragons – inspire if you will – to use their magic, when they would otherwise be unable to?
- Will the two elven children play any role in the last book? We know that elven children are significantly more powerful than adult elves – they could be useful assets in war. Do the elves allow their children to go to war?

Dust of Dreams by Steven Erikson
On the Letherii continent the exiled Malazan army commanded by Adjunct Tavore begins its march into the eastern Wastelands, to fight for an unknown cause against an enemy it has never seen. The fate awaiting the Bonehunters is one no soldier can prepare for, and one no mortal soul can withstand - the foe is uncertainty and the only weapon worth wielding is stubborn courage.
