The Name of Names has been lost for hundreds of years. Galbatorix spent 40 years trying to discover its name. He found it on a tablet written in another land and in another age. It was not written by elf, dwarf, human, or urgal hands. It is likely that the tablet was of Grey Folk origin, as they were the first users of the language, even before it was bonded to magic. Eragon mentioned it in conversation with Brom, who dismissed it as a forgotten word. The name of names was first uttered in the books by Galbatorix. When Eragon, Saphira, Arya. and Elva tried to attack him, he shouted it along with other spells and they were all frozen in place, unable to move and unable to cast spells using the Ancient Language, though later Eragon cast a wordless Empathy Spell. Almost as soon as Galbatorix uttered the word, Eragon forgot what it was. >Murtagh used it to combat Galbatorix and remove his wards. After Eragon learned it from him, he used it to alter and remove spells, as well as create names for the mutated species of Vroengard. Later, he used the name along with other spells from a Rider's book and re-worked the magical bond between the Dragons and Dragon Riders to include both the Urgals and Dwarves, along with the Elves and Humans.<
