Q3 Post8

A book that has a really different kind of culture than us is Eragon. A major difference is that its military is very archaic and apparently has been so for thousands of years. They rely on important beings known as Dragon Riders that are considered neutral, peace-keepers to their continent of Alagasia. These Riders, and a few other lucky humans plus all the elves in the book, can wield magic that can be used to simulate modern machines that could be just as devastating. Elves also add a twist to the book by being almost a completely different species although they are very human-like. This is very different from our culture in that we live with many more material good than they could ever realize in the book. They also would notbe able to match the population and exploration that our world has acheived within the past 800 years pobably.
