Ep. 41 - Eragon: The Glory of Tronjheim & Ajihad

Ajihad is one cool dude.

Darien and Lucy get some answers in Eragon chapter 51, “The Glory of Tronjheim,” and chapter 52, “Ajihad.”

NOTE: In this episode, Darien draws incorrect conclusions about the inspiration of that city name Tronjheim. Listeners have since informed us that the name is a reference to a real world city in Norway! How cool!!

Talking points include Darien’s steadfast refusal correctly pronounce the name of the dwarven city, how cool Ajihad is, how very suspicious these creepy nameless twins are, mixing up the plot of the wedding episode of Monk with the plot of the wedding episode of Sherlock, avoiding [blank] as default when writing character descriptions, referencing the map, a brief AU where Arya successfully sent Saphira’s egg to Brom, filling in the details of Brom’s mysterious conversation 500 pages later, and figuring who does or doesn’t like Eragon.
