Formora

Formora was a female elf Dragon Rider who was a member of the Riders before the Fall, and was paired with a brown dragon. She and Kialandí, another elf Rider who had studied under the same master, joined the human Rider Galbatorix and became members of the Thirteen Forsworn. During the early stages of Galbatorix's rebellion, Kialandí and Formora convinced the Elder Oromis and his dragon Glaedr to visit the watchtower Edur Naroch in Silverwood Forest. However, the two Forsworn had already traveled to Edur Naroch and killed the three elven rangers there, and they set up a trap that ensorcelled Oromis and Glaedr upon their arrival. The Forsworn layered many more spells upon the two before releasing them, and then&mdash;with the help of Agaravel, a dragon whose Eldunarí they had taken after slaying her Rider&mdash;fought the two in a mental battle. They intended to force the pair help Galbatorix and the Forsworn enter Iliriea, but Oromis used magic to free him and Glaedr in order to provoke the two.

Oromis managed to break the spells trapping them, but Formora managed to cast a spell to kill the pair that was stopped by Oromis's wards. She and her dragon attempted to attack, but Glaedr fled with his Rider&mdash;who had been grievously afflicted by Kialandí's spell&mdash;causing Formora to pursue them. Formora sought to cut Glaedr's right leg and make him drop Oromis, but Glaedr shifted so that the blow instead sliced off the dragon's left foreleg. Later, during the Fall, all of the other dragons joined together and stripped the Forsworn's dragons of their names, destroying Formora's dragon's sense of identity. Formora was eventually killed along with the rest of the Forsworn, whether through internal strife or machinations of the former Rider Brom Holcombsson.
