His ruthlessness and cruelty earned him the enmity of many places, such as Palancar Valley and its village of Carvahall, Eragon's place of childhood, although most of the Empire remained loyal to him, if only through fear.
After finally subjugating the spirits of the dragons confined in the Eldunarí he had captured, Galbatorix then embarked on a vicious and brutal military campaign to restore order in the Empire. During this time, his Empire fell into chaos. He spent forty years there, gaining power, enslaving his horde of Eldunarí, and never venturing beyond the walls of the capital. Even so, he spent most of his time in his black castle in Urû'baen, formerly Ilirea. His rule, though, was ruthless and cruel, and although much of the Empire stayed loyal to Galbatorix, there was a small rebel group called the Varden.Īfter naming himself king of Alagaësia, he took an active role among the Empire. Most of those under Galbatorix's rule never even knew it existed. It should be noted that despite this, the Broddring Kingdom still officially existed, though by the time of the Rider War it was little more than a name upon royal decrees and became obsolete. From then on, his domain became known as simply the Empire. With this act, he proclaimed himself the new king of Alagaësia. Galbatorix then captured Ilirea with the Forsworn, where he deposed and murdered King Angrenost, the rightful ruler of the Broddring Kingdom. Galbatorix and his followers defeated both the elves and the dwarves, both of whom afterward went into hiding. Galbatorix in the Inheritance Cycle book series. He proceeded to create a kingdom of his own that most of all Alagaësia's people called The Empire through which he ruled most of Alagaësia. He formed the Forsworn, a group of thirteen dragon riders and their dragons loyal only to him, and killed all the other dragons and riders in existence, or so he thought. Then, he forced this dragon, Shruikan, to serve him by dark magic. He convinced a Dragon Rider named Morzan to leave the gates open to the place where the eggs were stored. With his request denied, Galbatorix took it upon himself to steal another dragon egg. Galbatorix, mad with grief and hatred, asked the Dragon Rider council to grant him another dragon, but they refused, sensing his mental instability. His dragon Jarnunvösk was killed by Urgals some years later. He was chosen by a dragon and became a Rider in his early years. Although some of his fellow Riders were wary of his swift rise to power, the majority of the order neglected caution, ultimately leading to their downfall. He quickly excelled in all areas of combat and spellcasting, which filled him with pride, arrogance, and vanity. 1.3 The Varden and the Death of the Forswornīorn in the ancient province of Inzilbêth, and one of several siblings (all of whom were dead throughout the books), Galbatorix was accepted into the ranks of the Dragon Riders at the age of ten, after being traditionally tested for great potential.Familiar faces, such as Eragon, Saphira, and Murtagh will make a return!
