Morzan was full of self-importance and Brom idolized him. Eventually they took on Brom and Saphira I, Morzan and Morzan's dragon. The length of time that they tutored other dragons and Riders is unknown. When Oromis and Glaedr moved to Ilirea, they took on one or two apprentices at a time. For nearly a century they traveled the world, carrying out missions and errands set for them by Vrael, the leader of the Dragon Riders.Īfter a century of service to Vrael, Glaedr and Oromis were allowed to retire to Vroengard to begin to instruct young Dragons and Riders, passing on their knowledge. They trained together as Rider and dragon. Glaedr hatched for Oromis when Oromis was twenty years old. He was a vital aid to Eragon during the closing days of the war. He was also able to break Galbatorix's powerful holding spell in a desperate attempt to save his Rider in the climax of their battle.Īs an Eldunarí, Glaedr retained his vast knowledge and mental power. He dwarfed Saphira in size and was more than a match for Thorn in their battle at Gil'ead, though he was hampered by his dismembered left foreleg which allowed Thorn to wound Glaedr several times on his left side. He also proved swift enough to distract and flee from their many assailants, at the loss of his left foreleg.Īfter the Riders' Fall, Glaedr would remain in relative seclusion with his rider, though he was still extremely formidable. In his prime during the betrayal of Galbatorix, he was powerful enough to fight off two of the Forsworn's feral dragons as well as their riders and the assistance of another dragon's Eldunari (It is in this battle that Kialandí casts the spell that severely lessened Oromis’ ability to use magic), managing to severely wound Kialandí and his dragon.
Prior to the conclusion of the Siege of Gil'ead, Glaedr was the oldest and largest (not counting Shruikan's artificial size) of the remaining dragons. Their existence was a heavily guarded secret amongst the Elves, for if Glaedr or Oromis were to die before one of the remaining dragon eggs had hatched, then there would have been no one left to pass on the knowledge of the Dragon Riders to the new Rider.Īlthough Glaedr was a strong and rather large dragon ( Saphira said herself that he was three times bigger than she was) he was disabled-his left foreleg was severed by a terrible blow, leaving a white stump in place. Both Glaedr and Oromis remained in hiding in Du Weldenvarden long after the conflict, living on the brink of the Crags of Tel'naeír for safety.
He was the only dragon besides Shruikan known to have survived the Fall of the Dragon Riders, without taking into account the Eldunarí and eggs secretly hidden away in the Vault of Souls. Glaedr was a male dragon who was bonded to the elf Rider Oromis and the son of Nithring. If you have a quarrel with us, Eragon, then give voice to it and do not gnaw on your anger like a dry old bone.
