You travel by ship to a large island off the eastern coast of Alagaësia, setting out towards Mount Arngor, Stronghold of the Dragon Rider Academy.

As you arrive you are greeted by the sight of many varied races, fair elves and strong men, stout dwarves and towering urgals.

At the entrance stands Eragon, leader of the riders, and beside him Saphira, her brilliant blue eyes fixed on you with interest.

Eragon approaches you, bowing politely. Greetings and well met.
