[@BurningCold] I'm fine with any number, the ones who've shown interest are certainly enough for me to start, but I'm fine with more additions.

The sudden appearance of more dragon riders is going to attract the attention from all the people that eragon attracted, so we're going to be intertwining with them quite heavily. If anyone wants to play one of those people (Murtagh, Eragon, Thorn, Saphira, Arya, Nasuada, Islanzadi, Brom, others..) then please pm me a short audition for the role. Just a short paragraph or two to prove a grasp of the character's reactions, traits, and motivations. If no one wants to play them I can fill the role myself, though that is a bit of a hefty load if people start splitting up.

Gallywix- I mean Galbatorix- is one badass OP SOB, but even he would be overwhelmed by so many new riders if they're allowed to grow. I have plans in place to even the odds however, both new additions to the enemies' ranks and Galbatorix himself. The king may have piddled about unconcerned with news of one lowly untrained rider parading about and gathering his enemies in one place where he can slaughter them all in one go, but with so many? Expect him to make a personal appearance instead of plotting in his palace.
