The only surviving Riders and their dragons were The Forsworn, Brom, Galbatorix and Galbatorix's new dragon, Shruikan, which he stole with the help of Morzan, one of the thirteen members of the Forsworn. She found one last horde in the forests of Ellesmera and with that steel, she made Zar'roc for Morzan, Undbitr for Brom, and five other unknown blades. Over time, the brightsteel became harder and harder to find. Rhunön took the brightsteel and constructed the first Rider's blade for Eragon I. When she began molding the steel into new blades, she discovered the steel was extremely strong and flexible. ![]() She later christened the steel "brightsteel", for the unusual brilliance of the metal. The elf smith, Rhunön, discovered a new type of steel that she found in a meteorite. ![]() In Brisingr, Oromis said to Eragon that Rhunön-elda is one of the oldest living elves, even elder than the dragon riders themselves, and that she made all dragon riders' blade. When Eragon I first established the Riders, they may not have used swords forged by Rhunön, for at that time they were merely ambassadors between the elves and dragons: however Rhunön mentioned, "when Queen Tarmunora asked me to forge the first of the Riders' swords, it was brightsteel I used", so perhaps the elf-smith did indeed make the swords for the entire order of the Riders. ![]()
