The second Inheritance book is called "Eldest" because it focuses on Eragon's training and growth as a dragon rider, making him the oldest and most experienced rider among the new generation. The title also refers to Eragon's internal struggles with his identity and destiny, as he grapples with the responsibilities placed upon him.

Paolini called the second book Eldest because Murtagh was the eldest of Selena's two children, Eragon being the younger.
