While they travel, Eragon and Saphira learn as much as they can from the Dragons. They finally reach Urû’baen and signal their arrival. Eragon and Saphira land away from the Varden camp, hidden from view, and wait until Arya, Orik, Roran, Jörmundur, King Orrin, and Queen Islanzadí, and Blödhgarm secretly join them. After a brief reunion, Eragon tells them about the Eldunarí and lays out a plan of attack.

After everyone has left, Arya stays behind to speak with Eragon. The young Rider reveals that he and Saphira have learned their true names, and he offers to tell Arya his own. Arya is honored but refuses to hear it, arguing that Galbatorix could extract it from her and use it against Eragon during the upcoming battle.

After nightfall, Eragon visits Roran and Katrina’s tent and places protective wards on them in preparation for the battle. He then traverses the camp to meet some of his men and spread misinformation about the upcoming battle in the hopes of confusing Galbatorix’s spies.
