'''The Heart of the World''' (also known as '''the Primordial Core''') is a mystical object with a central position in the cosmology of [[the Glade of Dreams]], the world in which the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]] takes place. The Heart is mentioned in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'' and ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', though its only confirmed in-game appearance is in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''. Comprising one thousand [[Yellow Lum]]s, the Heart is a glowing conglomeration of light whose energy sustains the harmony and balance of the Glade of Dreams. It was originally guarded by [[the First Grand Minimus]], whose [[Grand Minimus|descendants]] took over the job when he died.

At the beginning of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', the Heart of the World is destroyed by the [[Robo-Pirate]]s and their leader, [[Admiral Razorbeard]]. The 1000 [[Yellow Lum]]s which formed the Heart (only 800 in the PlayStation version) are scattered about [[the Glade of Dreams]]. This cataclysmic event destroys the natural order, plunging the world into chaos and robbing [[Rayman]] and [[Ly the Fairy|Ly]] of their powers. The shattering of the Heart has serious negative repercussions for the Glade; dangerous creatures such as [[caterpillar]]s, [[spider]]s, [[piranha]]s and [[Zombie Chicken]]s begin to appear and multiply. [[Foutch]], the Guardian of the third [[Four Masks of Polokus|Mask of Polokus]], is driven insane. Over the course of the game, Rayman must gather the 1000 Yellow Lums, ultimately reconstructing the Heart and restoring the world's balance.
