It had been many years since the mad king had been cast down from his throne by the Master Rider Eragon Shadeslayer. Eragons plans to unite the races of Alagaesia had been implemented and were making good progress. The Urgals and Dwarfs both were accepted into the ranks of the Dragon Riders. The Games between the races he started were held every four years so far. The first was held by the humans in the capitals city Ilirea the same year Galbatorix was killed. The Urgals had raided a few villages once the turmoil from the kings death had calmed down. Once the Games started in earnest they ceased their raiding and conformed to the new way of life opened to them by Firesword and Flame tongue.
Nasuadas new laws on magic went into effect not long after Eragon had left to find a new home for the Dragons. People who were abused magic or practiced dark magic soon became a rare occurrence, but when they did her group of magicians that she tasked with enforcing the laws would quickly find the trouble makers and punish them for their crimes. At long last peace found its way to Alagaesia. The races finally stopped quarreling with each other and reach a level of co-operation before unheard of. They started trading with each other and learning the customs and traditions of each other. The fear of elves the humans had soon was replaced with a budding feeling of camaraderie, even if they did not understand how they thought or what they believed. They had fought together long enough that their differences did not matter. The Dwarfs opened the doors to the cities they had hidden from the world. The elves lifted the wards they had placed on the forest of Du Weldenvarden. A new golden age was born into the land of Alagaesia.
Alagaesia wasn't the only land to see great change. Eragon left Alagaesia to create the Dragon Riders. He took with him the eggs and eldunari that were placed in the Vault of Souls for safe keeping with him to the east. They left Hedarth on the ship Talita with them traveled Blodhgarm and the elves assigned to guard Eragon. They traveled east on the river Edda for many days. On the twenty seventh day they came to a fork in the river. The river split in to directions one fork traveled to the north east, the other moved off to the east with a slight shift to the south. On the inside of the fork a peak with a cliff face on its northern side rose out of the north. The land around the peak was perfect for farming and had plenty of game for the Dragons. It was a perfect place to raise Dragons and teach the new Riders. Eragon looked down from Saphira on the land below. "This is where we will build anew, this is where the Dragons and Dragon Riders will be born again". Saphira hummed in content the idea pleased her very much. They built their new hall for dragons on the top of the peak it was made from marble and shaped by magic, they built it large enough to house many dragons. The elves and Eragon used their magic to carve caves in the cliff face under the Hall to house any other dragons that should stay with them. As the years past the eggs left in Alagaesia hatched. The elves would charm a ship made from grass, much like the one Queen Arya made on her escape from the empire with Eragon after he killed the Ra'Zac, to take the news to Eragon. Each time they sent a ship one would come back with news that a ship would arrive to take the new rider east. The Queen of the elves would escort the new rider to Hedarth to meet the ship. Why she would do this is unknown, but she would always return saddened.
The time was fast approaching for the Twenty fifth Games of Wydra, and with that the hundredth anniversary of the Triumph over Galbatorix by the Master Rider Eragon Shadeslayer. The leaders of every race would be their to attend. Someone from the Dragon Riders Hall was always their to represent the Riders but never the Master Rider. This year the Master Rider was expected to attend in honor of the hundredth year of freedom and peace from under the reign of the Mad King.
