Dramatis Personae: E

Elgon

Legendary Asturian hero. Held a hillock, later known as Elgon's tor, in central Arendia for a month against a Mimbrate army.

Elgon, Count

Tolnedran merchant, involved in the disputes over the succession to the Tolnedran throne after Ran Borune XXIII. His soldiers were responsible for the murder of Lembor.

Elteg

Cherek sailor, paid by Grinneg to take Garion and his companions from the mouth of the River of the Woods to Sthiss Tor while on the quest for the Orb, but replaced (somewhat against his will) by Greldik.

Elvar

Archpriest of Belar in Algaria, and member of the Bear-Cult.

Embrig, Sir

Distant nephew and heir of the Baron of Vo Ebor. Sir Embrig attempted to take immediate possession of his distant uncle's estates after the Baron's death, with complete disregard for the feelings of the Baron's widow, Nerina. Mandorallen and Lelldorin stepped in rather quickly on hearing that Embrig had promised Nerina's hand to one of his cronies, and King Korodullin eventually asked Garion to step in. Garion's rather spectacular solution to the problem did not exactly meet with Belgarath's approval ...

Eriond
(Errand, The Bearer of the Orb)

Known throughout the Belgariad as Errand, Eriond was the innocent used by Zedar to steal the Orb of Aldur from its resting place in the throne room at Riva. His birthplace is unknown. After the death of Torak, he returned to the Vale of Aldur to be fostered by Polgara and Durnik, where he spent most of his time with his equine friend Horse. Renamed Eriond by UL, he became one of Garion's companions on the quest for his son, at the end of which he became the Child of Light for the final EVENT and replaced Torak as the God of the Angaraks.
