on fiction. The estimated year if it were actual reality would probably be somewhere between 1000 to 1100 A.D.

Characters• While the main antagonist is Galbotorix, he is

rarely heard of and never actually seen. For the most of the book Eragon is more concerned of killing the Ra’zak, and not the king.
