Later, the stone cracks open and a baby dragon emerges. When Eragon touches her, a silvery mark appears on his palm, and in irrevocable bond is forged between their minds, making Eragon one of the legendary Dragon Riders. He names the Dragon Sapphira, after a dragon mentioned by the village storyteller, Brom.
The Dragon Riders were created thousands of years earlier in the aftermathof devasting war between the elves and the dragons, in order to prevent two races from ever again fighting each other. The Riders became peacekeepers, educaters, healers, natural philosophers, and the greatest of all magicians --- since being joined with a dragon makes one a spellcaster. Under their guidance and protection, the land enjoyed the golden age.
When humans arrived in Alagaesia, they too were added to this elite order. After many years of peace, the warlike Urgals killed the dragon of a young human Rider named Galbatorix. The loss drove him mad, and when his elders refused to privide him with another dragon, Galbatorix set out to topple the Riders.
He stole another dragon--- whom he named Shruikan and forced hjm to serve him throught certain black spells---- and gathered around himself a group of thirteen traitors: the forsworn. With the help of those cruel deciples, Galbatorix threw down the Riders; killed their leader, Vreal; and declared himself king over Alagaesia. His actions forced the elves to retreat deep within their pinewood forest and the dwarves to hide in their tunnels and caves, and neither race now venture forth and from its secret places. The stalemate between Galbatorix and the other races has endured for over a hundred years, during which all the forsworn have died from various causes. It is into this tense political situation that Eragon finds himself thrust.
