Awesome! It's great to see Murtagh again. The discussion Murtagh and Vanora have is also really good. We couldn't have that kind of moral greyness in the Cycle, could we?
Some notes: Vanora reacts to the changed the Riders undergo like a normal person should, luckily.
Arrows are indeed much more sensible for fighting from dragonback than swords, of all things.
Seeing how the world is round is done much nicer in this way, and there's thankfully no OMG So Deep comments.
The true name is indeed quite unsettling, especially in how it binds someone to a certain identity.
The way Eragon and Galbatorix treated Murtagh is portrayed a lot better than in canon.
And I also love how you've made the dialogue fit in with the time.
