Glade of Dreams: Difference between revisions
Spiraldoor (talk | contribs) I'm confused by the inconsistency in the form of the Glade; hopefully we can resolve this somehow when the game is released. |
Spiraldoor (talk | contribs) I guess the valley is significant enough to merit an image here; I think this article should feature all the official maps we have, and it's one of the biggest & most important locations in the series |

Most ''Rayman'' games seem to take place on the mainland of the Glade, so very little is known about the rest of Rayman's universe. The map indicates an [[Archipelago]] off the south-east coast of the Glade, but this is never visited in the games. The Glade's planet has two moons, one of which is seen as larger than the other; these can be seen prominently at certain points in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'' and ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]''. However, there are points in both ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'' and ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'' during which there appears to be only one moon; it is unknown what orbital quirk causes this apparent fluctuation. Rayman's planet is part of a binary star system with two yellow suns, one of which is larger than the other; these can both be seen in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'', but not in ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'', and only in some parts of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', making it seem very likely that the smaller sun orbits the larger one. The menu for ''[[Rayman M]]'' shows various parts of the solar system, including a sun, a moon, and two planets. One planet, which is covered in greenish-blue clouds, may be the planet on which the Glade of Dreams is located; the other planet appears to be dry and desert-like. The solar system is part of a universe throughout which [[Admiral Razorbeard]] and his [[Robo-Pirate]]s are known and feared for having reduced over one hundred peaceful planets to cosmic dust after enslaving their extra-terrestrial inhabitants. There are also a great many points in each game in which stars are visible in the sky, and the [[Yellow Lum]]s in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'' inform [[Rayman]] that there are other [[gods]] which exist on other ‘worlds’, all of which suggests that Rayman's universe may be far more vast than that which is shown in the games. | Most ''Rayman'' games seem to take place on the mainland of the Glade, so very little is known about the rest of Rayman's universe.
