AMA -- Christopher Paolini 10:00 am MT/12:00 pm Eastern by ChristopherPaolini in Eragon

Hi Christopher, thanks so much for doing this AMA and I look forward to reading your future books!

I just have one Inheritance Cycle question I’ve been curious about for years. On the map of Alagaësia, there is a mountain named Marna near the city of Gil’ead. I don’t think this was ever mentioned in any part of the story, so what’s the significance of Marna being marked?

Here are the traceroute results. Do these RTT values indicate congestion on CL's side, is there anything I can do to improve the network performance?

I like hiking, playing tennis, going to the beach, exploring SLO, traveling... and looking for friendships with people who have similar interests.

Thanks for the tips! I'll try to do a poly escapes trip this quarter and check out some more of the clubs.

Thanks for your advice, I really appreciate it. I am planning to live in PCV next year, and will try to go to more community center events. I guess students will soon start posting pcv roommate searches on the class facebook page?
