This is pretty much answered in Belgarath The Sorceror, but as you've
only just had the Bel published there, you might have a bit of a wait.
Basically, the idea that only heirs of Iron Grip can hold the orb is
wrong - it's something that the inhabitants of the world think to be
true but actually isn't. At least two people touch the Orb who aren't
descended from Riva. Errand is the obvious one.
Brand didn't put the orb on his ****eld, however. That was done by
someone else, and I won't Spoil it for you!
