Welcome to Fantasy Fan!

For those of you who don't know the address of the official Eragon website, here it is: Alagaesia, http://www.alagaesia.com . Among many other things you will find there Christopher Paolini biography, Inheritance news, book excerpts, Eragon newsletter and many other things.

Recently I've been looking around for new fantasy websites to gather news from and I stumbled upon a number of great sites in languages different than English. I thought to myself then that there should be a place on Fantasy Fan dedicated to local language websites. And now there is. :-)

If you are running a fantasy website in any language - feel free to register on Fantasy Fan and submit the link to your website into our Fantasy Directory . All we ask for in return is the link back to Fantasy Fan.

If your website is in a language that doesn't have a specific category in our Directory put appropriate information in link description: new category will be created for it.

In case you didn't manage to get the Wheel Of Time Wallpapers when they were available on the TOR website, you can take a look at them here: Wheel Of Time Wallpapers .

First wallpaper has a Snake-wheel symbol from Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time series, designed by Matthew C. Nielsen. The second one is Darrell K. Sweet’s painting: The Dragon Reborn.
