'''Urû baen''' is a large city near the middle of  the fictional world of [[Alagaësia]]. It is the capital of the Broddring Kingdom which King [[Galbatorix]] has forcibly taken over; before his rule, many Riders lived there and were tutored there, and it was called Ilirea. The king and and his army of dark Riders, the "Thirteen Forsworn", resided together in the capital until one by one the Forsworn were killed, most by the Varden. The King, a [[Dragon Riders|Dragon Rider]] who destroyed the original order of Riders, now resides in his palace with his powerful black dragon [[Shruikan]]. 

The city is between the western edge of the desert wasteland, the Hadarac Desert and the eastern edge of the Ramr River. This city is also the capital of most of [[Alagaësia]], although the exact borders of the Empire have not been explained. The city and palace is heavily guarded. Morzan, the most powerful of the Forsworn, lived in Urû baen and had two sons, [[Murtagh]] and [[Eragon]]. While their mother managed to hide Eragon with her brother, Murtagh grew up in Morzan's castle under his abusive father, and when Morzan died he was moved to the king's palace, where he was raised and educated, although his life was always under threat. When he was around 18 years old, Murtagh ran away, only to be later captured, tortured and imprisoned in the palace. Then a ruby dragon hatched for him, a dragon he named Thorn. Both Murtagh and Thorn were forced to swear allegiance to Galbatorix in magical oaths, which means they are now enslaved by powerful magic unless Galbatorix releases them. Now Urû baen is home to two immensely powerful Riders, Galbatorix and Murtagh. In the third book [[Eragon]] will end up facing the biggest challenge of his life in this city. That challenge will be to destroy Galbatorix, who is very powerful, and so free Murtagh and Murtagh's dragon from their oat Urû baen. ⏎
