...I've never heard of that before, and I note those things were silver, not brass, so I really doubt that that's the case. Could you maybe point me to where you've heard it? I can't find anything.

Question: Is the ring of brass sockets at Ristvak'baen a torque gate (or the equivalent)?
Answer: Brass sockets: not a torque gate as-such, but you're in the ballpark. Think back to the ring of amethyst in Inheritance
Question: 11) In Inheritance, during the escape from the chambers under Dras Leona, Eragon sees devices of brass and crystal. During Murtagh, we see another reference to Brass devices in Rist'Vak Bean.
Is there any connection between the devices of brass and crystal depicted under Dras Leona, and the brass indents at the tower at Ristvak’Baen?
Answer: The more important question is: Is there a connection between the brass sockets on Rist'vak Baen and the ring of amethyst in Inheritance.
