Oromis is also called Osthato Chetowä - The Mourning Sage, and Togira Ikonoka - The Cripple Who Is Whole. He is a Shur'tugal (a Dragon Rider ) and an elven prince descended of a royal house (although that house is not the ruling one). Oromis is the last Dragon Rider of old, besides Galbatorix . His gold dragon's name is Glaedr . Oromis and Glaedr reside in Du Weldenvarden , living on the brink of the Crags of Tel'naeír. Like all Riders, Oromis carries a sword with a blade matching his dragon's scales, Oromis' blade bearing the name Naegling. Oromis was born some centuries ago in the city of Luthivíra, located in Du Weldenvarden , which stood in the woods by Lake Tüdosten. At twenty years of age, he was presented to the eggs that the Dragons had given to the Dragon Riders, at which Glaedr hatched for him. They trained together as dragon and rider, and for nearly a century they travelled together doing Vrael 's will. After time, Oromis and Glaedr deemed it was appropriate to retire and pass on their experience at which they took up a position in Ilirea and taught new Riders, normally one or two at a time. His known students were Morzan and Brom . He also was one of the Dragon Rider Elders who denied Galbatorix a new dragon egg. Oromis is injured in a way, hence the name Togira Ikonoka - The Cripple Who Is Whole. The Forsworn broke something within him when he was captured, and though he is still able to teach and learn, he can no longer control magic, except for the smallest of spells. His sickness is not contagious, but neither can he rid himself of it. Thus, he is unable to enter battle, as he could easily be captured and controlled. Oromis has spent decades binding himself with hundereds of small, weak spells, that, layered upon another, are able to double the effect of enchantments that are now beyond his reach. He had bound himself with them so that he could live long enough to witness the birth of the last Dragons and to foster the Riders' resurrection. Oromis' role is now to help educate Eragon and Saphira with the secrets of the Dragon Riders . He knows the secret of how Galbatorix grows ever stronger, but isn't ready to reveal this until later in Eragon's training. Unfortunately, Oromis does not have much longer to live. |
