Nalgask was a mixture of beeswax and hazelnut oil, used to moisten the skin. It could be stored in a soapstone container. A jar of nalgask was given to Eragon by Oromis in Eldest along with a scroll of his poem. This took place at the abrupt end of his training before the Battle of The Burning Plains. Eragon used nalgask on several occasions, including his return to the Varden in Eldest.
