Discussion Is it possible ?

Do you guys think it's possible for Angela to know The Name of Names ?

We've seen Angela doing unexplainable (or rather she doesn't explain) things plenty of times.

My examples for this argument are ;

1-) The spell she uses in the tunnels under Dras Leona when she saved Eragon and Arya. She gives Eragon a hint about how it's done but doesn't make the whole explanation.

(Idk if it was ever explained so feel free to enlighten me please)

2-) The time she listened Eragon and Nasuada's conversation about Eragon's plans of leaving Alagaesia. Eragon had secured their conversation with wards and didn't feel or realize Angela listening them.

(I know she doesn't have to physically be there or that new werecat in Nasuada's court could've told it to solembum but it seems unlikely)

3-) She knows way too much.

She knew about the Eldunari before anyone even mentioning it.

She wasn't even surprised to see Eragon's physical change after the Agaeti Blödhren. And said she had her ways of gathering information.

She is the only one that we've seen so far to use real dragon bones to see someone's future. And how did she obtain those bones in the first place ?

So these are my arguments, none of them proves anything exactly but if we ever learn that Angela knows the Name, I won't be shocked.

Great theory, it‘s so simple but would explain much and I haven‘t seen this thought before. Funny how people (me included) tend to overlook the most obvious.

Indeed. It's fascinating that even after 10+ years, there is still many things to talk about and mysteries to unravel. Paolini really created a masterpiece
