If you have ever read another blogpost of mine you know that I am a diehard Eragon stan and have been since I was nine. I have reread the series over and over and may or may not have a signed copy of the witch and the worm which is my very prized possession and so when I saw that Wraithmarked was doing a kickstarter for new Eragon content of course I had to take the opportunity to intertwine myself even deeper into Alaegasia.
The Book of Remembrance allows you to put your own name (or one of an OC or DnD character) into the lists of the dead from seven of the major battles that happen over the course of Alaegaeia’s history. And I am a little stuck on which name to pick because of course I want my own name, but then I also want something more Alaegaeian as well.
As any one would do I went on Reddit and began researching on sub threads what people were doing and the collective genius has offered up some of my favourite ideas.
- your real name + mums name and then daughter. Eg: Eleanor Fernsdaughter.
- A title + your name. Eg: Dragonrider Anna Carthright.
- Just your name (good for bragging rights)
- Trying to Eragonify your name yourself! While only the dragonrider tier will actually get their names as alaegaeian names if you really want to delve deep into the linguistics of the realm then why not make your name something closer to a Spine dweller?
NB: must be under 50 characters, but this gives you LOTS of space so you can still play with it!
Here are the links to Reddit if you want to read some ideas yourself!
