Heart of the World: Difference between revisions

Line 11:

In [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], a mystical orb named [[the Great Protoon]] appears. Like the Heart of the World, it maintains the harmony and balance of the world. When it is stolen by the villainous [[Mr Dark]], the world is plunged into chaos, and unpleasant creatures begin to appear and multiply. After this game, the Great Protoon is never mentioned, and its position in the story is subsequently filled by the Heart of the World. Since the Heart largely has the same function as the Protoon (and even resembles it in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]''), it has been speculated that they are in fact the same object.

In ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', [[Rayman]] can unlock a number of cosmic secrets relating to the nature of his world by gathering the [[Yellow Lum]]s. This information is collectively known as [[the Knowledge of the World]]. The Knowledge contains a number of statements relating to the Heart of the World. It says that the Yellow Lums are ‘the most important ones’, and that ‘one day, the Lums focused their energy into thought, and their consciousness brought to life a strange and marvellous creature: [[Polokus]]’. This shows that the Yellow Lums – which are synonymous ~~withthe~~ Heart – had a significant hand in the birth of Polokus, the [[god]] who dreamt [[the Crossroads of Dreams]] into existence. In ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'', [[Murfy]] states that ‘the Heart is where all the world’s energy comes from’ – if [[Lum]]s are counted as ‘energy’, this implies that the Heart is wholly responsible for the creation of Polokus, and thus the entire universe. The Knowledge of the World also mentions that ‘the universe is made of energy’.
