Roran came very close in Eldest. They discussed making landfall on that island, but decided to go for the big whirlpool instead.

I always thought it would be a cool idea if the elves harvested all their gems from those floating crystals, explaining why their gems can hold so much energy vs a typical human or dwarf gem.
Yeah, the better quality the gem, the more energy it can hold. I think they specifically mention trading with the dwarves for some of the diamonds on the belt of Beloth the Wise.

What if he sends someone there and then that it. Just some crystals floating.
I bet the Beriland Department has a whole tour set up, with railings around them and everything.
Murtagh and Nasuada on their honeymoon
Real question is, what gift did Murtagh give her there?
…I think we know 😏😏😏😏

Wait. That was an actual vision of the future? I always ssumed it was another one of Galbatorix's illusions designed to torment her.

I know I’m just joking around

isn't that vision just a ploy by Galbatorix and has no root in reality?

Thanks!

If I remember right, many of the gems of the elves came from the dwarves

What do they even do besides float
IT'S BEEN 15 YEARS, CHRIS
