Forna

"Some five hundred years ago, Queen Forna sent Ernst Graybeard to Dras-Leona, or rather what was to become Dras-Leona."

- Jeod

Forna was a female dwarf who served as queen of her people some five hundred years before the end of King Galbatorix's reign. During Forna's rule, the dwarves were embroiled in a clan war, and Forna sent Erst Graybeard to help with the construction of the city of Dras-Leona in hopes of securing the support of the Broddring Kingdom. Around the same time, the dwarves also aided King Radgar with the planning and fortification of the city of Aroughs as well. Forna was killed by Dolgrath Halfstave not long afterwards, prompting Graybeard to return to the Beor Mountains to protect his clan.

Behind the scenes
Queen Forna was first mentioned in "Decisions," chapter twenty-seven of the novel Inheritance by Christopher Paolini.
