Rayman (series): Difference between revisions

In the beginning, there were only the [[Lum]]s – little beings of pure energy. They came in several coloured varieties, each with their own attributes, but the most important were the one-thousand [[Yellow Lum]]s. One day, the Lums focused their energy into thought, and created a god named [[Polokus]] (also known as the Bubble Dreamer). Polokus's power was such that his smallest thought or desire became reality. Through his dreams (which were composed of friendly creatures called [[Electoon]]s), he created [[the Glade of Dreams]], the world in which the ''Rayman'' series takes place.

The Glade of Dreams is a rich and magical world, featuring many diverse environments, from relatively realistic forests and mountains to surreal landscapes of music and art supplies. It has two [[Moons]] and two [[Suns]]. Polokus populated his world with [[fairy|fairies]], [[Teensie]]s, [[glute]]s, and a plethora of other fantasical creatures. The balance of the Glade is maintained by [[the Heart of the World]], a glowing core of energy composed of the original one-thousand [[Yellow Lum]]s. However, Polokus's nightmares could also take on a life of their own. When Polokus had his [[First Bad Dream]], a monstrous being known as [[Jano]] was created. Jano launched an invasion on the Glade with his spawn, the [[Darktoon]]s, which were the antithesis of the Electoons. In order to combat Jano, [[Betilla the Fairy]] and her sisters – a group of benevolent [[nymph]]s – travelled to [[Pink Plant Woods|the Primordial Forest]] and used their magic to create Rayman, a hero who could help to maintain the balance of the Glade and protect it from evil. However, the nymphs accidentally lost a sack of Lums on their way to the ritual, and as a result, Rayman was born without limbs. In his first adventure – which is referenced but never shown – the young Rayman put an end to Jano's invasion and restored peace to the Glade.

When Polokus had completed his world, one task remained: creating time. In order to accomplish this, Polokus sank into a deep sleep. In his dreams, he left the Glade, and travelled to the place where all the gods of all the worlds meet. Together they set about dreaming up the future. Wise men say that, at the dawn of time, a war broke out between the gods for control of the one-thousand [[Yellow Lum]]s. This is commemorated by [[Globox Disc|the Game of the Gods]]. It is also told that the Glade was originally shaped like a flat disc, and only later became a spherical planet.

For a time following Polokus's departure, the Glade of Dreams was blissful and idyllic. However, Polokus's nightmares could also take on a life of their own.
