The clouds have become especially moody, we've never seen this nightmare before! Strange metal objects have been falling from the sky! A fakir was crushed just days ago!
It’s pretty clear from these quotations that the Moody Clouds is supposed to be a recent phenomenon, and the purpose of Rayman’s journey there is to find out why it happened and what’s going on. The only thing close to a revelation in this regard is The Reveal. We know the Magician built the mechas, so it’s pretty safe to assume that he built the Moody Clouds itself – who else could have? His wall has a diagram showing Lums being fed into a machine – throughout the Moodly Clouds, we see plenty of Lums trapped in bulbs which are connected to machinery or simply feeding into metal walls. What I’m getting at is the game’s implication that the Magician’s designs permeate the whole city.The ways of the dreamer have revealed themselves! You may seek out the missing royalty now... The royals may fallen into the abysal depths of the troubled Dreamer!The fakirs worship them blindly! They welcome the end of magic and chant myopic mantras for a new world of reason and order! We have to get up there, but the Dreamer's Door is shut tight... We must find the members of the royal house of each land of the Glade of Dreams. Only they know the secret songs to opening them!Some dark force has captured them and we haven't seen them since. They haven't raided my fridges for weeks! Not even a single call for room service; that's not like the festive royals! Finally, we can return to the Dreamer's Door and attain the Moody Clouds... At last, we will discover the origins of the strange mechanisms that fall from the sky! We must delve into the depths of the dream, there where our Maker's moods reveal themselves...
I really hate the idea that there are two characters called ‘the Magician’ who take Rayman’s collectibles, wear the same clothes, have the same voice and never appear at the same time. We wouldn’t even be discussing this if they’d left his damn hair blonde.
