[[spoiler: He's not going to see anyone he loves ever again, and he's got the arduous task of rebuilding an organization of Dragon Riders in an unexplored continent totally isolated from civilized life. He's not going to get with Arya and he's not going to see his baby-niece or his brother or any of his people ever again. ]]
** [[spoiler: Not exactly. Earlier comments reveal that he will still be able to keep in contact... seeing them and being seen through scrying, and keeping in contact through Magical Mirror Vid Phone Calls, and theoretically all those people could visit him... [[YouCantGoHomeAgain he's just never going back to his home continent himself]].]]

* The description of the pile of bodies at Yazuac is both [[NightmareFuel horrifying]] and depressing, considering the true emotion and sentimentality Paolini packs into that one paragraph. No wonder Eragon was so distressed by the sight of it.
-->"Slaughtered men lay over the women they had tried to protect, mothers still clasped their children, and lovers who had tried to shield each other rested in death's cold embrace. Black arrows stuck out of them all. Neither young nor old had been spared. But worst of all was the barbed spear that rose out of the peak of the pile, impaling the white body of a baby."
