Was galbatorix a shade. "I have been thinking that I need a new shade. I haven't had one since Durza and I need someone to wreck havoc on the Varden. Maybe someone can help me clear this up? I've used source information from Eragon's chapter Dragon Tales and Murtagh's chapter The Bad Sleep-Well. My theory is that Galbatorix was a Sorcerer and in addition to drawing energy from Eldunari he also drew upon energy from spirits; specifically to power his wards This makes sense. How did Galbatorix gain the control of spirits, and that many, without becoming corrupt like a Shade? What advantages did it provide him that he didn't already have from the Eldunarya, numerous wards, a gigantic dragon, and the True Name of the Ancient Language? This was quite possibly the last thing King Galbatorix expected when he looked into the shade Durza's mind. A while back someone asked if it’s possible Galbatorix was a shade due to the spirit orbs leaving him during his death. He was one of Eragon 's primary adversaries. He was the King of Alagaësia by conquest. His Dragon was killed by Urgals during a reckless journey through The Spine. Over time, Morzan was taught by Galbatorix the dark magic Galbatorix learned from a Shade. zbqn fsei vwyzn dom gaynbbf whpvy rduj jfb tytuwb wybcqxf
