He is killed by Arya. The Menoa Tree is one of the oldest and largest trees in Du Weldenvarden. The tree is the spirit of the elf Linnëa, who imbued her consciousness into the tree after being jilted by a lover. Linnëa was an elf who lived before the war between elves and dragons, when they first migrated to the new land. Blagden is a raven blessed by Evandar for pecking out an Urgal's eyes when the elf king stumbled during a fight, allowing him to recover and defeat the Urgal. The magic gave Blagden the ability to speak (though he primarily speaks in riddles) and see the future, but also unintentionally turned his feathers pure white. Blagden's name is an Old English name meaning "the dark/black valley". The five creatures of the Beor mountains are five unique species living only in the mountain range, for which five dwarf clans are named. Feldûnost are large goat-like creatures used as mounts and to produce dairy. Their name means "frostbeard" in the dwarf language. Nagra are giant boars hunted by the dwarves. Fanghur are rare creatures that resemble dragons, though not as large or intelligent as their cousins, and are unable to breathe fire. They are considered to be the most deadly of the native Beor creatures through the way they hunt, by letting out piercing screams or to attack their victim's minds to paralyze them while they go in for the kill. Three attack Saphira in the second novel. Shrrg are giant wolves. Urzhad (called Beorn by the elves) are massive cave bears that grow to a large size. Urzhad are larger than most Beor creatures, about as big as a small house. References Inheritance
