'''Roran "Stronghammer" Garrowsson''' is a character in [[Christopher Paolini]]'s ''[[Inheritance (trilogy)|Inheritance Trilogy]]''. He is [[Eragon (character)|Eragon]]'s cousin and most trusted friend. Both resided in the village of [[Carvahall]] until the events in ''[[Eragon]]'' and ''[[Eldest]]'' unfolded, after which Roran became the unofficial leader of the people of Carvahall.

==Role in ''Eragon''==
== Empty articles ==
Roran is [[Garrow]]'s son and [[Eragon]] and Murtagh's cousin. He does not play a major role in ''[[Eragon]]'', but it is revealed that he is in love with [[Katrina(Inheritance)|Katrina]], the daughter of the village smith [[Sloan (Inheritance)|Sloan]]. Early in Eragon, he leaves Carvahall to work as a miller's assistant in the neighboring town of [[The Empire (Inheritance)#Therinsford|Therinsford]]. He is not seen throughout the rest of ''Eragon''. With the exception of a brief scrying scene when Eragon is alone after him breaking/spraining his wrist.
 
==Role in ''Eldest''==

Upon receiving word that his father and farm are destroyed, and that his cousin, [[Eragon]], has fled, Roran returns to [[Carvahall]]. He had left the village intent upon earning enough money to support his forced love [[Katrina (Inheritance)|Katrina ]] so that he would have a better chance at winning her hand in [[marriage]]. Brought back by the disastrous events, Roran is faced with many choices. His options are greatly limited, however, when the [[Ra'zac]] and a unit of Imperial soldiers occupy the village, searching for him.
:Heh, no problem. we were all new once. Please keep in mind that just because a link is red, doesn't mean you should fill it with just anything :-) try to write a new article!

Initially, Roran tries to hide, seeking refuge in the supposedly perilous [[mountain]] passage of the [[The Spine (Inheritance)|Spine]]. When a fellow villager, Quimby, is murdered by one of the soldiers, however, Roran decides that he must take action. He returns to the village, where he then helps to lead the villagers of Carvahall in a revolt. Roran and a group of men from the village, including Nolfavrell, Quimby's son, raid the Ra'zac and soldier's camp. Afterwards the village spends time bulding up its defenses and fighting the soldiers.
== The PJs ==
 
In the process, Roran asks Katrina to marry him, and she accepts despite never having asked permission of her father Sloan. Soon after, Sloan discovers Katrina doing the right thing to avoid the Spine and Roran reveals that they are engaged. Roran Stonghammer renounces Katrina and storms off, leaving her devastated. The following night, Katrina is kidnapped when the Ra'zac attack Roran's temporary home while Katrina is sleeping in the guest room ''by herself''. Following the Ra'zac back to their camp, Roran discovers that Sloan betrayed them, and sees Sloan and Katrina carried off by the Ra'zac, learning that reinforcements from the Empire are on their way to Carvahall, and the village will be destroyed. Roran is reminded that it is his fault the [[village]] is being attacked in the first place.
I noted your request for expansion on [[The PJ's]]. The article at that ___location was indeed criminally short; it's because the actual article was over at [[The PJs]]. I merged the former into the latter, added a photo and a little more info, and removed the expand tag; feel free to re-add it if you think it's warranted. Thanks - [[User:Tempshill|Tempshill]] 00:01, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
 
Roran learns to counter-balance his love for Katrina with his [[commitment]] to the villagers, many of whom blame him for the loss of their village. In a charismatic speech, Roran sways them, and most decide to follow him on an [[exodus]] to [[Surda]], the only nation of Humans to openly stand against [[Galbatorix]] and his Empire.
== How quaint ==
Just wandered in here off the street (well from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:User_piano-2 Category:User piano-2] in truth). Couldn't help noticing you're an advocate of the spin-off from English that arose as a result of the high cost of mailing dictionaries to the colonies. Just how do you spell culur, anyway?

Roran and the villagers successfully arrive in the city of [[Teirm]] after a laborious journey through the Spine and then on the ship [[Dragon Wing (ship)|Dragon Wing]], and encounter the merchant, [[Jeod]], whom Eragon and [[Brom (Inheritance)|Brom]] met when they passed through the [[city]]. Jeod tells Roran that Eragon, Brom and Saphira also came to him. When Roran questions Jeod on who Saphira is, Jeod explains that Eragon is a Dragon Rider. Roran is skeptical at first, but gradually becomes convinced. Upon meeting Jeod and determining that he is [[trust]]worthy, Roran and the villagers decide to commandeer the largest vessel in the harbor and sail to Surda.

As they sail upon the commandeered vessel, The [[Dragon Wing (ship)|Dragon Wing]], they are followed soon by [[sloop]]s issued by the Empire. Roran persuades Jeod and the captain to sail past the [[Eye of the Boar]], a gigantic [[whirlpool]] that sucks in almost any [[ship]] that dares to pass it. The ship struggles, but with the villagers aiding in rowing the ship belowdecks and the crew working above, they manage to pull free and continue on their way, almost to Surda.
I neutered some tags here and on your user page to prevent these pages from being listed as needing attention as if they were articles. Sorry if I accidentally took out anything inappropriately...-- [[User:Beland|Beland]] 02:00, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
 
Roran is greeted by [[war]] at the end of his long voyage. The Battle of the Burning Plains is raging between the combined forces of [[Surda]] and the [[Varden]], and the forces of Galbatorix. As he approaches, he is met by his cousin, Eragon, who almost destroys the ship before realizing his [[cousin]] and his village are aboard. Although Eragon orders him to stay put, Roran leaves the ship, using his [[hammer]] to destroy [[The Twins (Inheritance)|The Twins]] , two nasty magicians who betrayed the [[Varden]]. He is met by Eragon, and the two are properly reunited at last. When they meet Roran punches Eragon in the face, hating and loving him at the same time. After consulting with Nasuada and Arya, Eragon takes Roran back to his tent where they discuss what has been going on in each other's absence, and Roran then demands a pledge from [[Eragon]] to help rescue [[Katrina (Inheritance)|Katrina]](because he is just that nice, with a sweet heart that cares for all people, even the wickedest) from the [[Ra'zac]]. Eragon promises to help Roran find her, ending the novel.

I have left some comments on the talk page of [[Mistakes Microsoft Made in the Xbox Security System]]. Please review them and edit as appropriate -- it's extremely POV and not exactly Wikipedia material as it is. --[[User:Crazycomputers|Chris]] [[User talk:Crazycomputers|(talk)]] 23:28, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
Brom told a story to Carvahall's residents about a great warrior who made a pledge to lay down his [[sword]] forever. When his home was attacked, however, he retaliated; bound by his oath, he did not use a sword. Instead, he fought with a hammer. Roran thought of this story as he was choosing his weapon for fighting against the Ra'zac, and so he selected a blacksmith's hammer. He was the most proficient of the villagers when it came to fighting, and they christened him "Roran Stronghammer". He later used the second name as a [[euphemism]] for his own, when traveling in disguise.
 
==Role in Film==
== Patcham High School ==
Roran left Garrow's house early in the film in order to escape conscription by the king's soldiers. He seemed to have a preordained future and has been considered attractive by movie fans. He is played by [[Christopher Egan]], who bears a remarkable resemblence to [[Edward Speleers]] (who plays [[Eragon]]). It has been noted by many that Roran wears [[jeans]] during his scenes in the movie.

I noticed your edits to [[Patcham High School]] and its talk page, and thank you for your efforts. To request for an article to be speedy deleted, I would suggest browing through the templates located at [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion]] underneath "Speedy". {{[[Template:db-empty|db-empty]]}} might be what you are looking for here - just add the template to the top of the article in question. In addition, I am reverting your edit to the talk page because that isn't the appropriate way to request the speedy deletion of an article.

Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:Deidara-manga.jpg]]'''. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the [[copyright]] status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.
 
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{tl|GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the [[GFDL]]. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]], and then use a tag such as {{tlp|fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use]]. See [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags]] for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
 
If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "[[Special:Contributions/{{PAGENAME}}|my contributions]]" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Your entire pitch consisted of how many units its sold. Now, I shall suggest something to you - bear with me - [[Marks and Spencers]] have been very successful in selling their latest womens styles. Would you think I was mad if I suggested you buy one of their light summer dresses, without making the slightest effort to work out if you were someone who would like to wear a nice summery dress? So why on earth would you suggest a game with mickey mouse in it to someone who has said they've never heard of it? Did you not for one moment consider that I might not be the sort of person who likes that sort of game? Or even that I may be a balding university researcher who likes cricket and Akira Kurosawa films rather than some teenager who likes playing computer games?Please don't assume that if you like something, everyone else in the world would if only they heard of it (I'd never try to inflict cricket on an American). Frankly, from the description of this computer game on the Wikipedia article, I'd rather poke my eyes out with forks than play the thing.
