The story seems a bit... pretentious. It's seems slightly extreme, but I guess it's probable... First, a few things.
Though I'm not exactly 100% certain, I feel like it's implied that Durza was Galbatorix's right hand man for many many years, and certainly more than 15 or so years (with the assumption that you'd be placed into training no younger than 14).
The search for the Varden seemed rather Eragon-esque (ignoring the fact that your name is about 2 letters away from Eragon), though I understand that it's difficult to think up another passage to the Varden outside such a story.
The collection of the weapon is a bit much, especially since we only allow colored blades for Riders (no stealing from riders, etc. etc.). Not only this, but the runes and diamonds on the blade plus the Elven belt, Elven bow, and swan feathered arrows is way over top.
Lastly, the password... good try going into someone else's profile and looking at the password, but that is not the password. I could be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure I didn't change the password from what it was to "Admin Edit", which is what I do by the way, since you created this char sheet at 1am and I haven't really viewed the forum since then. If that unlikely situation is true, please repeat the password.

I know the name looks like Eragon, but the name is actually from Lord Of The Rings, the region of Eregion outside of Rivendell. (I Know, I know, but the name sounded cool and I couldn't think up a name). As for the weapons, I got the idea of the runes from Aragorn's blade, Anduril, which had the runes of Eregion written on it. The elven belt, I admit is a little much, and I will change it, as I will the color of the blade and the swan feathered arrows. For the bit on Durza, according to what I wrote, Durza was in Galbatorix's court for about six years, due to the fact that Eregion was twenty when Durza killed his father. I probably messed up and implied that Durza was there for twenty years, when I wrote that Eregion grew up under the watchful eye of Galbatorix and Durza, but that's not true. From the time Eregion was twenty to the time he left Uru'baen a few months later, he was watched over by both Galbatorix and Durza. The bow, was a gift from his father, but if you think it's too much, then I will change it. And finally, as for the password, before I deleted it, I had a character titled Ereinion Celebrindor, and for the longest time, I had "Witch Of Teirm" as the password, and then recently, I found Witch Of Teirm deleted and "Admin Edit" in it's place. I think that covers all the issues.

Okay, if you're going to keep these runes, I need to know what they stand for and what additional abilities they give the sword. Also, the belt "show(s) both the power and beauty of the dragon". Is this a symbolic power, or a literal power? And how Eregion received the sword wasn't really mentioned either.

On the belt, I mean both physical and spiritual power. The dragon is a fierce being, but it is also smart, cunning, and brave. Eregion's belt, while not giving him any special abilities, symbolizes all those elements of the dragon in just one picture.
THIS CHARACTER IS NOW DELETED AND INACTIVE, EXCEPT TO KILL HIM OFF IN A RP I STARTED. OTHERWISE HE WILL NOT BE USED.

Alright, seems a bit like a... "main character" in a literature, but I'll accept it.
