The valley: Difference between revisions

==Geography==

In the games, the valley is clearly located beside a sea or ocean, but its exact geography is not clear. However, a magazine article from approximately 1996 containing official information on [[Rayman 2 (2D prototype)|the now-cancelled 2D sequel]] confirmed that the valley where [[Rayman 1|the original game]] took place was indeed located on an island, saying that [[Mr Dark]] had vanished from it prior to the [[Robo-Pirate army]]'s invasion. Rayman's island is not marked on the official map of [[the Glade of Dreams]] that was included with copies of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]''; however, a small group of islands marked ‘[[Archipelago]]’ is shown off the mainland of the Glade, in the bottom-left corner of the map. It has been speculated that one of these islands is Rayman's island, and that the valley is located upon it. Indeed, the perch of earth from which [[Mr Dark]] observes Rayman in [[Rayman 1|the original game]] is across a body of water from him, supporting the notion that Rayman's island is part of an archipelago.
