Information About

Carvahall





GENERAL

Carvahall is a small village where Eragon grows up. It is located in the north-western corner of Alagësia on the fringe of The Spine . It sits on the bank of the Anora River, not far from the town of Therinsford. The village is small enough that they're unable to create most of the items needed in everyday life and rely upon nomadic traders for their small amenities.


Carvahall in ''Eragon''

Eragon lives on a farm not to far from the village. Eragon raises Saphira while living on his farm. He leaves the village at fifteen with Brom after the Ra'zac attack his uncle's house and leave his uncle mortally wounded; wounds which later lead to his death.


Carvahall in ''Eldest''

After the events of '' Eragon '', The Ra'zac return to Carvahall to collect Roran for information on the whereabouts of his cousin. Along with the Ra'zac, King Galbatorix sends a small group of soldiers to the town. Roran takes refuge on the edge of The Spine while the soldiers cause a disruption in the village. After hearing the news of a death in Carvahall, Roran returns to his town and is joined by some prominent residents to start a retaliation. Garrow's son takes the villagers into battle causing the unexpecting soldiers to retreat, along with The Ra'zac. Showing his prowess in battle, Roran is given the name Stronghammer and the duty to defend Carvahall. The town is eventually forced to abandon their homes in search of support from Surda.
