Will this be used for Brother Hern? Or for one of the other authors quoted from in the book?
Christopher Paolini @paolini
Nope. It's literally my author portrait for the book.

Are you canon in the WoE? Are we breaking the fourth wall?

I am the Namer of Names. It is impossible for me NOT to be canon.

How would you say that in the ancient language?

Honestly, in fantasy series, it just feels right for the author to be 'canon' in some way. Now the interesting question is if anyone in WoE is aware of the nature of the Namer of Names, and what such knowledge might imply for them.
Meme:
Black Knight and King Arthur from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The Black Knight says "I am the Namer of Names"; Arthur says "You're a looney".
Well, I don't have much to say to this, other to echo your reaction.
