6. The Choosing
The Dragon Riders
The Dragon Riders are a
group of powerful
warriors that help
ensure the peace and
health of the country
called Alagaesia. Many
times throughout the
years, children of all
ages are ushered to the
hold of the dragon eggs
and encouraged to touch
the eggs. The Riders do
this so that the dragons
within the eggs can
choose their Rider.
7. King Galbatorix was once a
Dragon Rider that sought great power.
While in a epic battle, Galbatorix lost
his dragon. Galbatorix pleaded with
the elders of the Riders to get a new
dragon. They denied his request. What
came next became know as The Fall of
The Dragon Riders. Galbatorix stole a
dragon egg and forced it to hatch for
him with dark magic. He then
recruited some of his fellow young
Riders to his cause. Next, he slew many
Riders in order to get his revenge.
After destroying all of the dragons and
their Riders, Galbatorix took control of
all of Alagaesia; and thus, The Fall of
The Dragon Riders.

Dragon Riders from a storyteller named Brom,

meet with mysterious Varden.
