Brom: [narrating] There was a time when the fierce and beautiful land
  of Alagaësia was ruled by men astride mighty dragons. To protect
  and serve was their mission, and for thousands of years, the people
  prospered. But the riders grew arrogant, and began to fight among
  themselves for power. Sensing their weakness, a young rider named
  Galbatorix betrayed them, and in a single bloody battle, believed
  he had killed them all, riders and dragons alike. Since then, our
  land has been ruled by Galbatorix. He crushed all rebellion,
  including the freedom fighters known as the Varden. Those that
  survived fled to the mountains. There, they hoped for a miracle
  that might even their odds against the king. Our story begins one
  night, as Arya, an ally of the Varden, rides for her life, carrying
  a stone stolen from the king himself.
