MAJOR SPOILER WARNING
*******************
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.
