Against Eragon’s advice, Nasuada agrees to meet with a Urgal envoy. Despite his prejudice, Eragon’s new knowledge allows him to explain to the Varden the meaning behind the Urgal’s aggressive-seeming gestures of friendship. The envoy states that the Urgal feel betrayed by their former ally Galbatorix and want revenge on him; for that reason, they want to fight alongside the human rebels. Nasuada agrees to the temporary alliance.
Then an envoy from the empire appears, responding to the rebels’ refusal to surrender with a declaration of war. As he gallops back to his camp, Saphira lets out a roar that causes his horse to throw him into the fires of the Burning Plains.
