As dwarfs show Eragon and Saphira their new home in the city of Tronjheim they are each introduced to orik. orik is their guide who basiclally shows them around the city all of the back passages and tunnels because Tronjheim is like and underground maze similar to a ant hill. When i try to imagine the city I see something similar to the picture on the top. Any ways as Orik leaves them to rest for the night a young lady with a child shows up. Eragon is confused and is wondering what she wants. After wards he realizes that she wants his blessings for her young child. Not knowing what to do Saphira tells him to say prayer and touch the babies head and then afterward saphira kisses the baby on the head leaving a small star shaped mark on the babies head. At that point in time he understands the amount of responsibility that comes withe the amount of power he possess when he says"Eragon had never blessed anyone. It was not something done lightly in AlagaĆ«sia, as a blessing could easily go awry and prove to be more curse than boon—especially if it was
spoken with ill intent or lack of conviction.Do I dare take that responsibility? he
wondered." Which is similar to what peter Parker was told when uncle Ben was killed in the movie/storyline of spider man. The link leads to a biography page which explains where Stan Lee the original Writer of Spiderman got the quote from and what it really means.

This place reminds me of the book City of Amber, where there was an entire city that is underground. It must have been very different for Eragon to go to this place, it must have been very different from the life he is used to.
